Joining the club 👋 We just received our NOA1 hard copy in the mail - in the footer it says Potomac (online when I check the status it says Nebraska)..unsure which to believe

Sorry to jump in. Could you let me know how to check which center takes care of my case online? I received a letter from Nebraska but recently USCIS said Potomac does so I’m confused and wanna check it online bc they doesn’t reply to me

Hi, you can check the status online by typing in your case number here (although I’m not sure this is what you are looking for) you can also type ‘live agent’ into the ask Emma window to connect to a live agent although afaik calling USCIS and trying to connect to a tier 2 agent is probably the most reliable source.

 

hope this helps 😊

Thank you so much! I did but the web doesn’t mention clearly which center handles my case. Everyone see their center there? Is it bc I’m a online filer? My case number is also weird.

On the other hand I will try Emma

Did you send any evidence of bonafide marriage with the original petition? Interesting that you were able to successfully reply to RFE within one day! Do you mind sharing a more details? Thanks!

My PD date is January 22, nothing since,filed online,  I have spoken to USCIS a few times for and expedite but refused each time, I sent and inquiry email but got a not outside the normal processing times. I spoke to an agent in September that said I should be approved by mid November, and to inquire then, I spoke to an officer in mid November, she would not let me speak to a Tier 2 person. Yet she told me my case was current based on the PD because the website said October 2018 then, and she said delays were from the centers being closed because of Covid-19 for a couple of months. It doesn't make any sense. I spoke to someone the first week of December and was told the case was actively being processed, and if I don't hear anything by Jan 7 to submit another inquiry online. Mine is for my 5 year old step-son, his Mother is approved and at NVC waiting for his to catch up.

What does not make sense is that since Mid March, most countries have not allowed international travel so there should not be many new cases filed if you have not met your fiancee yet or married since then. The number of new cases should have dropped and the older ones should be approved faster. Good luck to everyone.

Yes we uploaded house deed and prove of jointly held bank account with the petition. We replied on RFE with our pictures, I-94, prove of his health insurance I'm on..and again house deed and jointly held bank account.

Does anyone else think that based on VJ timeline data, since most of Feb, Mar and Apr from Potomac are already approved, they should be approving May filers very soon once they are done with Jan filers?

Hello, we filed I-130 in January 15 and they touched our application only ONCE so far (February 11). We have been waiting for 11 months... So frustrating! The Case History of USCIS site shows "Invalid Date Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Emailed". Does anyone have the same issue?

You should be getting approved any day now. Hang in there!
