USCIS received our documents on July 12th and we got the text on July 16th. Hopefully they can give you the receipt number over the phone! 

They gave us the receipt number over the phone. Now that it's an IOE number, i'll need to wait for the papers in the mail to know which location it was sent too. They're being mailed to Canada, so hopefully in the next week or so.

Thanks, is the code the 10 digit number along with the service center abbreviations in the front? 

 

No, you have to set up a USCIS account first, when you do that, a letter will automatically come to you in the Mail a few days After, with a Code to Access your Case Directly in the us uscis account..

Weirdly, after putting in my service centre (Potomac) in my timeline, it's showing estimated approval of April-August 2020. Which is a wide range and actually further away than Nebraska, haha. I'm hoping that estimate's not accurate!

I just saw that!! Originally Potomac estimates were around October 2019 weren’t they?!?

Yeah mine was November last night LOL and this morning it's April-August (who knows what made me check it again... I'm neurotic?).

 

Considering they're processing March 2019 rn, that seems insane and I'm hoping someone has uploaded a weird timeline that has thrown the data off, hahaha. I'll make a thread about it and see if anyone knows what's happening.

That’s why, although this site is good for estimates, it can’t be relied upon fully as not everyone fills in their timelines, and not everyone who’s in the process uses this site either. It just made me look at mine, and Nebraska still sucks with an end of June/early July estimate..... I’m still gutted as I needed to have visa in hand by that time to get my girls into the new school year 😭

I'm crossing my fingers for you! Maybe you'll get lucky with the new IOE numbers, people have had good fortune with those so far. 🙂

Mine was oct end till yesterday and now it’s showing mar-jul 2020. Idk what’s going on. I thought Potomac was supposed to be quicker than the other centers. Rather than working on speeding up the process, they are delaying it.

VisaJourney's estimates are based on others users' timelines so I'm hoping someone has just entered a wrong date that messed with the data. A 6-9 month jump overnight seems crazy. But hopefully in the thread I made, someone can shed light.

I think we’re going to have to watch May and June IOE receipts for Nebraska to give us an idea of what to expect with ours.... it does seem like July is when IOE has become the norm though 😬 and not sure if that’s a good or bad thing

I was trying to find a thread for May filers that mention getting the IOE as well, I'm interested to follow their timelines and discussions as well. Did you happen to find one?

I haven’t. Only a few from the end of June. Plus the odd one or two from April (which I think were probably the pilot ones). There really hasn’t been much posted about anyone that had IOE receipts and approvals yet.

Hello! July filer here. I sent it to the Chicago lockbox July 17, package was received July 19th...they charged my card yesterday so I'm hoping to get a text in the next couple of weeks.   Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly for all of us!

Just got the text...Can't believe how quick that was! We also were assigned an IOE number so hopefully more information becomes available soon about how exactly that process works.

Hello! My husband is a USC and has sent the petition for me I’m Mexican, he sent the I-130 form this July 16th and we received today the NOA1 by text message, we also have a IOE case number, I downloaded the visa tracker app and shows the California Center, we will wait for the NOA1 in the mail to confirm it. All I’ve been reading about it is that apparently it’s faster but we will see. Glad to join this thread.
