Odd, I wonder if that was one of their initial kinks in the system for these applications. Mine has listed a case status since I created the account, so seems as thought they've worked that out.🤞

Thank you for your kind words,
 
but no, I dont really have any way to keep up to the case, I would  say keep calling the USCIS..that's what I did, they are the only who can tell you the most up to date status of your case.

All you have to do is fill in all previous names and attach documentation for those name changes. My wife had a different name at birth, then changed it when she was young. After we got married, she registered her prior last name to her new middle name (didn't have a middle name before that), and then changed her last name to my last name. All we did was note all name changes and then include her name change documents, including translations obviously. It's only a small hassle, but not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things.

Well, I just got my text today, and from the USCIS website (haven't gotten my paper copy yet), it appears as though my official receipt date is August 2, and my number is IOE, so it appears it's either the new norm or we're all just getting "lucky" to be in the new system lol.
