Reading thru the whole thread - In my opinion, the problem is stemming from you guys "changing the phone #" - you said it yourself that "(USCIS)  -"it automatically sends a verification code to my old phone number". Now your focus must be to change the phone number from "old to New". Until then this problem will prevail going around in the same cycle again and again. Find a way to change the phone in USCIS record - write a certified mail to them with a receipt. If you don't receive a response - In my opinion, it will be a time to discuss this with a lawyer, sorry. Problem is the new & old phone number. 
Good luck

Not understanding your NEED to have access to your USCIS online account when you can just as easily check your case and have status updates sent by text or email through the website.
Please explain the dire need. 

Just like the other comment - You open the DHL packet because you may have other things in there for follow  up instructions etc.   - In that (DHL) packet there is an another envelope which says "DO NOT OPEN" - don't open that envelope because this is Supposed to be handed to USCIS officer at the time your mom is "ready to migrate", at the point of entry.  Or if you feel comfortable take the whole thing to land crossing as you said.

The web site used to show the priority date & number of months now they changed to just this.
I know it says "80% of cases.." but I hope my Petition is not in the rest of 20% - One more thing I forgot mention that my case was in "laguna niguel ca" they transferred the file to Vermont on May 27, 2020 does that should not change the Receipt date which is Sept 11, 2017. I hope this will clarify some of it for readers to respond/help.
thx 

F1 is about 1 additional year of waiting vs F2B.

Even if the petitioner becomes a USC after the i130 is approved, the category is switched to F1 during NVC phase or even during the visa interview. However one can request NVC to retain the F2B category if the wait time is shorter.

The questions asked of you may not have been directly what you asked. But as you also posted in the wrong forum, knowing details helps members give correct answers. 

They state the expected processing and then say when you can inquire if it takes longer,  sometimes longer processing can be beneficial,. probably makes no difference in your case.
 
Diary for next year and contact them if you have not heard anything.
 
 

Someone has asked me this question:
On US citizenship form n400 - page #14 of 20 -> Question/line # 27. It is talking about a "Parole".
<<Quote>>
This guy was "paroled on humanitarian reasons into USA for 2 weeks " Which he did enter & then he left USA & went south to his country exactly when he was supposed to go back,. He was NEVER criminally charged it was a passport glitch (was not a criminal case) - Everything was fine after that. He is confused that is this (YES) or (NO) for criminal case or for everything?
<<Unquote>>
Now on Citizenship form n-400 he is asking that is this the same thing or it ONLY applies to "criminal case".  So should he check "YES" or "NO" - They guy can't afford a lawyer just for this question. 

 
I hope I did not confuse you guys, as I wanted to put it as clearly as possibly (hear say) if anyone has a knowledge or determination about this please help this guy - send you comments.
 
Thanks,

That is regarding a parole after a criminal conviction.

I know of one person recently who got an EAD in 58 days so for that anyway it does seem to be working… on a sample size of 1 anyway lol

Here are a couple USCIS sources regarding addressing the backlogs in general: 
https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/uscis-announces-new-actions-to-reduce-backlogs-expand-premium-processing-and-provide-relief-to-work
 
https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/readout-of-national-public-engagement-on-backlog-reduction
 
@SN@5127 I don't know if anyone here can offer "proof" that the backlog is being reduced. The best evidence would be if we start to see processing times lessen but that takes time to see tangible results.
 
The attached photo is from the first source I linked. 

The N400 Required Evidence list is not very big.  If filing by mail, not in the military and not residing overseas you only have to provide a copy of your GC and marriage/divorce/annulment/death (former spouse) certificate (if married or single due to divorce, annulment or death of a spouse).  If filing online, most filers upload the documents that are listed to bring to interview.
 
Good Luck!
 
Required Evidence
Below is a list of documents to submit with your Form N-400.
 
1. Photographs. Only applicants who reside overseas must provide two identical color photographs of yourself taken recently. The photos must have a white to off-white background, be printed on thin paper with a glossy finish, and be unmounted and unretouched. Passport-style photos must be 2” x 2”. The photos must be in color with full face, frontal view on a white to off-white background. Head height should measure 1” to 1 3/8” from top of hair to bottom of chin, and eye height is between 1 1/8” to 1 3/8” from bottom of photo. Your head must be bare, unless contrary to your religious beliefs. Using a pencil or felt pen, lightly print your name and A-Number (if any) on the back of the photo.
 
2. Photocopy of Permanent Resident Card. Provide a photocopy of the front and back of your Form I-551 (Permanent Resident Card). USCIS must be able to read the information on the photocopy. If you have lost your Form I-551, attach a photocopy of any other entry document or a photocopy of a receipt showing that you have filed Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card.
 
3. Photocopy of your Current Legal Marital Status Document. Provide a photocopy of your current marriage certificate, divorce, annulment decree, or death certificate of former spouse.
 
4. Documents for Military Personnel or Spouses of Military Personnel:
A. Form N-426 (Request for Certification of Military or Naval Service). If you are a current member of the U.S. Armed Forces, provide a completed and certified Form N-426. If you are separated from the military, provide an uncertified Form N-426.
B. Evidence of Military Service. If you ever served in the U.S. Armed Forces, provide a Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, DD Form 214, for all periods of service. If you are currently serving in an active duty status within the United States or abroad, you should submit a photocopy of your official military orders.
C. Spouses of Military Personnel have additional requirements. Refer to Naturalization Information for Military Personnel (M-599) for eligibility requirements. You can obtain this information on the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov/military.

1. Not sure I understand why you think these forms won’t be filed - re I864, is the child under 18? Every immigrant needs a DS260. Sure they can try visit, entry is at the discretion of the CBP officer.
2. No.

Backlogs building up can cause it to move backwards. 
Are you checking this website because you haven’t received an approval notice for the petition yet?   Approval is any way likely to happen well before the priority date is current (which is when a visa will be available). Visas for F2B are currently only available for priority dates before July 2015 (and right now only for adjustment  of status as visa issuance in this category is banned till year end).
 

 
 

I-130 processing is rarely the holdup for family preference cases. Even if the I-130 was approved tomorrow, the petition would just sit at NVC until the Priority Date (PD) is current. That will likely take 5-6 years based on the current VB for F2B (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin.html).
So even at 51+ months for the I-130, it has at least a year to spare before there would be any delay.
Edit: I would also point out that USCIS tends to align those processing timelines so that they are adjudicated before the PD becomes current. No promises by any means, but unless there is a sudden swing with the PD becoming current much sooner than expected, I would anticipate that trend to continue.

If the paper work (Stamp on the passport saying "Authorized for employment") is in order you apply for SSN, it should not take more than  1-2 weeks to receive the SS card in the mail at the address you provided them. It pretty straight forward after correct paper work.
