July filers for NSC?

[smushtaq 0]

The official policy of the USCIS is that if you mailed the form before July 30th, then you pay the old fees. If the postmark is after July 30th, then you have to pay the new fees. Also when the USCIS receives the letter, they stamp it and then it goes on to whatever dept it's supposed to.

Well, according to the website and memos from USCIS the date they go by is the "date filed/postmark date" on the envelope. I am a little concerned too since we filed/mailed our package the Saturday before the increase took effect (July 28) but if they give us any problems I will fight it. Hopefully they prepared their people who receive the packages accordingly and there won't be an issue.

Sent in paperwork to VSC on 7/25. Received on 7/26. Have not received NOA and the check has not been cashed.

I am afraid that the packet will be rejected and I will be required to pay the new fee. Based on the USCIS 7/13/07 update letter, this should not happen, but I have a funny feeling it will.

Does anyone know if they date stamp the materials on the day they actually arrive or when they are actually opened for processing? I can show when UPS delivered it and who signed for it but what "counts"--actual delivered date or actual opened for processing date?

"USCIS would like to assure its customers that the delay in data entry and fee receipting will not affect Change of Status or Extension of Stay eligibility, assuming all other eligibility requirements are satisfied. USCIS wishes to assure all customers that the original received date (the date which the document is date stamped) will be honored and recorded on the receipt notice. This date will appear in the "Received Date" box on Form I-797, Notice of Action. The received date is different from the "Notice Date", which also appears on Form I-797. The Notice Date is the date the receipt notice was actually generated."

We got a money order by USPS. Maybe I should check with them too just to ease my mind... but according to the other timelines, we should get our NOA1 any day now.

I've tried multiple times to register our case # on the USCIS website but it always comes back as an invalid case #. Called up the 1-800 # today and entered in the case #, it doesn't recognize it either. Not sure if I should be concerned .... Has anyone else, who has received their Application receipt #, tried to register on uscis.gov?

FYI, I submitted my wife's petition to remove conditions on 7/27. The NSC received the petition on 7/30. The check just cleared yesterday 8/16.

Yep...we are waiting too. I give it another 2 weeks yet before we seen our check cashed.

I just called up USCIS to make sure everything was on track with my wife's application. The initial customer service rep couldn't find the receipt # in the system so she transferred me to an "immigration specialist", who told me that the receipt # for the I-751 isn't something that can be tracked via the automated system. If you read the I-797C carefully, it states that you can track your case via the website once you receive your Biometrics appointment.

They probably had a large number of people file before the fees increased ... slowing them down.

On a separate note, I still don't understand why the Nebraska Service Center can't handle its caseload? 3 years have passed and they still haven't made any improvements allowing them to do their work on time???

I forgot to mention that the scanned image of my check indicates that the petition was sent to the CSC. This sounds like a trend.

Sent I-751 July 26th, received on the 28th (I think, I'm at work right now and can't check)

Check was cashed this past Friday 8/17...by California service Center
