Hey guys,

 

I have a quick question regarding USCIS status updates. 

 

My fiancé received a physical NOA2 letter on 26th of January, we got approved on 18th. I checked our USCIS status, and it still shows the same information as it did after we got NOA1. It's been over 2 weeks now. 

 

Should I care about this status update or it doesn't matter since we have an actual NOA2?

Doesn't matter, hardcopy NOA2 is important. Online is not always updated on time (make sure you use the my.uscis.gov site btw, the other one is old and even more unreliable lol)

You don't need to care, I got a lot of friends that had similar experiences. I think USCIS have not been updating approvals recently. I don't think it's anything to worry about, the letter and the mail is good enough evidence.

Thank you for your replies, guys!

 

I just checked it via my.uscis.gov and it did change there! But for whatever reason, the dates differ from egov.uscis.gov :D On the latter one it said that they received our petition on August 27th but on my.uscis.gov it says August 30th. As for approval date, it says 22d of January while our hard copy says it's 18th. Should we care about this difference?

I won't tell you what you or should not care about...but it doesn't matter at all for the immigration process. You're fine.

Thank you. I was asking only because in my country different numbers can get you into big bureaucratic trouble :) Glad it's not the case here.

Also nothing to worry about. The dates you have to go by are the ones on the NOA's
