Just got the email update, will have to wait for it in the mail.

@Michelle M
This can be a good thing! Hopefully it's something small like forgetting to tick a box or like passport pages that can quickly be scanned.
Don't panic- Simply return it back to them ASAP and u're on your merry way to an approval!

As I always say that app is a disaster... 

”More than a dozen people were hospitalized Tuesday for heart irregularities following a USCIS technical glitch that incorrectly notified them that their visa cases had been updated...”

 

No but seriously all, take care of yourselves! ❤️

Apart from everything etc. my question first, what will posting wac numbers give to you?

 

because I know for once it contains nothing important for anyone here.

 

Hello @Naes! It is so nice to finally converse with you! Best of luck with your September filing.

 

The rationale for needing the WAC numbers to be reflected in the Scan Postings is expressed at the end of my successive posting:

 

I read the TOS again in closer detail, although, as yet, have not contacted VJ legal counsel directly on the matter. With all due respect for our wonderful moderators, I see nothing in the TOS that would prohibit under its terms or current law the disclosure of WACs. Remember that Moderators are members of VJ, not employees. If a moderator made a decision without consulting VJ legal and that decision is wrong, based on the TOS, this decision is reversible.

 

There is language in the TOS that states:

 if a member disagrees with a Moderators use of these "moderation" abilities they may contact VisaJourney and request that the Moderators actions be reviewed. The final decision on whether to reverse or alter a Moderator's action(s) will be decided at the sole discretion of VisaJourney.

 

My initial thought is this: If USCIS did not want the WACs disclosed publicly they would not include them in publicly-accessible data (of course, USCIS terms also apply). But again, there is no specific language in the TOS that prohibits posting WAC numbers.

 

The only issue that many VJers have with the Scan Postings currently is that it is generally hard to decipher which cases surrounding their own are being touched and how to anticipate their approvals.

 

Your question concerning why the WAC numbers have a significant utility to members is an excellent  query. I don't know about other Vjers, but assuming that I am correct in saying that posting WAC numbers is not a violation of the TOS, having the ability to immediately see your Scan Postings and see that you do not have an RFE and also see the proximity of approvals around your particular case has great utility.

 

Thanks for reading, and nice to meet you! I appreciate everything you are doing!

 

Thank you @Naes

Same thing just happened to me as well at 2:58 pm and they did send an update but it was just a repeat of the NOA1 Update from back in August 2017. I am really confused as to why this would happen. Its interesting to see that I am not the only one that got a Case result changed status update as well.

Sorry to everyone that happened too. It sucks! I was so excited for a minute but I still cant fathom what would cause such a glitch to happen. Neither will I understand after reading through the posts why USCiS would lie about what dates they are working on stating they have not touched August because we all see that is not true!  August filers on this forum has even confirmed that they have gotten a decision.

I'm a sarcasting being, so bear with me for this comment first: This is not yet a conversation but a corresponding... I feel like I'm answering a full level letter with the old school seal and everything

 

Dear Jason;

 

Although I also do think WAC numbers are does not contain information, I did see a post being deleted in front of me with the addition of "Do not post WAC numbers".

 

However I am going to explain why I am not posting those numbers, as "having the ability to immediately see your Scan Postings and see that you do not have an RFE and also see the proximity of approvals around your particular case has great utility." this comment is extremely wrong and also people thinking this way is one of the reasons I stopped posting it.

 

1) I am not a personal scanner.

   People who are note in the forum for a good time, will start asking to add their WAC numbers to the scan, for me to check their case numbers, or what happened to their case. Personal case status is an information that should be checked by the person by their own means using not even apps but USCIS web site.

 

2) People start waiting for scans to get information. 

  Again as the update on USCIS will be first and not my posting, everyone should check their cases by themselves.

 

3) That whole sentence I just quoted contains wrong information and unfortunately people still think they go by WAC order or proximity has anything to do with it. Which is extremely incorrect.

  Now I will give you an example actually I will even show you this happening by just checking the last scan list I posted.

 You will see an August 8 case there right before August 22 and after August 15. The reason is because dates do not go in the WAC order and they do go by the dates and not the WAC numbers.

  You can see a case date is dated August 10 for example at the very end of the list. When normally most August 10 is actually at a number of let's say WAC179041xxxx, There are also cases that are at number WAC179045xxxx. And both of these cases would be processed and get RFE or approvals or any movements at the same time. This happened in May, June, July.... So eventually we saw that there is no correlation between a WAC numbers proximity to any other case with its process but the received dates has a connection. 

 

Some people here, screen shots my posts and posts it in the facebook k1 visa related pages. As this is all public. And I am not going to give a huge load of information even if it does not contain direct personal information here. Because on facebook with the addition of real names, it becomes a private information.

 

 Hence I won't be posting it. Because it is not necessary. 

 I understand why you would think it was, but that thought actually only causes people stress thinking, OMG they touched 1 case before mine but didn't touch mine (which is not related to their processing) If one wishes to pursue this thought, I would say get case tracker app, because it lets you scan cases before and after the number you put. There fore if you put your number you can see what's happening around it.

 

As they do not update the tracker everyday, or update all rfes and approvals, the only important info we should expect from these updates would be what/if they update, and which date they are doing.

 

Good luck on the journey!

Seriously, this is almost as bad as that employee that accidentally sent that missile threat message out in Hawaii a month or so ago.

Oh wow I can only image. Have you called them because it is definitely past your normal processing time. Or fill out an case inquiry from their website.
