Receipt number does not recognize

[Lian Ver 0]

We got our NOA1 last October 25. Upon checking our case status at uscis website, it always says my case status does not recognize the receipt number, though we are encoded it correctly. Does anybody had this concern before? Thank you so much!

It can take up to 14 days for your receipt number to work on the USCIS website. It's not the greatest of inventions, it must be said....

It does take a while sometimes. Mine was not available to track a couple days after I received the e-notifications and sometimes not until you receive your official receipt in the mail you can only track it. Don't worry, I'm sure yours will be available soon. Good luck

There are a lot of us whose numbers were never entered into the system. My PD is 4/25 & it still comes up as invalid. When I called they said there's nothing they can do about it, and that not all numbers get entered. As long as you receive the letter in the mail, then they have your case, and all you can do now is wait.

The USCIS rep told me it can take up to 45 days to be able to track it. I’m on day 50😕 with no luck. I was advised to call back on Monday to talk to immigration. Hopefully it’s an easy and quick fix.

Lucky you! We already received our official receipt by mail. Still no luck.

Alright. 6 months already still not in the system? You should call them and share your experience. Thanks.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Have you tried contacting USCIS regarding this matter? Maybe, they will be able to shed some light as to why you can't track your case. Good luck!

We are waiting 2 months now and still are getting invalid receipt number.

Just following up on this thread to see if OP ever got their issue resolved - were you finally able to use your Receipt Number on the My Case Status link on the USCIS website?

 

We're in the same boat - I-130 for IR/CR-1 was received by the Chicago Lockbox on 14 Dec 2017, email received from "Do_Not_Reply_Lockbox@dhs.gov", stating that they received the packet and also sent us a Receipt Number in this email.  The RN doesn't show up on the USCIS website as of yet, and we're waiting patiently for updates.

 

We initiated our application from Thailand, but will be moving to the United States next week - my wife isn't "moving" to the US per se, rather coming over for ~5 months on her B2 tourist visa.

 

Hope all is moving along for you, cheers!

My NOA1 was 24 August 2017. Receipt number still not recognised! My husband got his congresswoman to send in an enquiry (since I have read here that some people who called USCIS were not able to get to a Tier 2 employee) and I should hear something next week.

I´m in the same situation, as @ms_bobdog my number isn´t working, our P.D is the same August 24.

Awaiting if works in this update, 141 days so far since NOA1.

I also created a thread like this:
