Question for I130 receipt access code and Concurrently Filing I130/I485

[WindForcePro 1]

Hi, 

 

I have two different cases.

 

case 1, I-130 case  doesn't have an access code to link to myUSCIS

I filed I-130 for my mother who lived outside of US via mail on 11/23/23, I received I-797 on 12/01/23. When I try to link the case number to my USCIS account it says it belongs to a different USCIS account, then I try to link it with my mom's account, and it asks for an access code, but that I-797 doesn't have one. I spoke with a USCIS agent on 12/15/23, she said the case is not showing up in her system and asked me to wait 30 days after 12/01/23. Now on 01/03/23, it says the case is actively being reviewed, but it still requires an access code to link to my mom's account. I wonder does anyone has such experience?

 

case 2, no digital receipt notice for 20 days after USCIS received the filing package

I mailed concurrent I130, I485, I131 packages for my father to the Chicago office on 12/14 via USPS, it shows delivered on 12/17. I included G-1145 form, but I haven't received the case acceptance notice till now (01/05). Although it is the end of the year with lots of holidays I wonder if such a long wait time is normal for concurrent filing. And if it still doesn't make any progress what should be the next step?

 

Thanks for any help.

G-1145 sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Was the check cashed?

I-130 belongs to you as a petitioner, so should be added under your account.  Access code arrives by mail, separately to case receipt I-797

No the check hasn't been cashed.

 

That is weird, because my account says this case has already linked to another account.

Hi, luckily there is an update in my case, provide some data points. 

 

I get the G-1145 text on 1/10 for I-130, I-485 and I-131. I received the I797 today and it indicates the cases were received by USCIS on 12/15. So it takes them that long to generate the I-797

 

Also, for whatever reason I mailed out my package on 12/13, USPS says it was delivered on 12/17 (which is Sunday and it doesn't make sense), while USCIS says they received the case on 12/15.

You are right. My case story is on 1/3/24 I checked on the USCIS website says my case changed from received to actively reviewed by USCIS, then on 1/10 I received the access code, and it was generated on 1/3/24.

 

However, I think USCIS made a mistake that I-130 case is linked to the beneficial online account instead of the petitioner. Anyway, I plan to use mail to submit further. I assume the wrong online account linkage is not an issue.
