Hey,

I'm wondering if certain categories receive interview dates faster than others. I filed a cr1 for my wife and I'm trying to get an idea of how long it'll take for the consultant to schedule her for an interview. Also, does it make any difference if you're a US citizen or a permanent resident?

Yeah. At least it's something, right?! I wonder where "part1" is, maybe it's not uploaded because everyone I talk to seems to see part2 only. The USCIS process is so mysterious/random isn't it?

For sure. Let's just hope they move quickly in approving all of our applications.

It's strange, they uploaded a file called "part2" to ours, which was 25 pages of random pages of our passports, marriage certificate, wife's birth certificate, etc.

Yeah mine was the same. I guess it's nothing to worry about then

Morning,

So I was finally able to add my case online yesterday. Still just indicates that my case was received and a receipt notice was sent. I noticed on the documents tab, they only uploaded my i130a and bona fide documents. Is it weird that the rest of my app was left out.

Hey,

I filed on 1 May and received my noa1 by mail on 11 May. I'm still waiting for my online access code 😪 though.

Hey everyone,

I got my noa1 two weeks ago for my i130. I still haven't received my online access code. That's supposed be sent by mail; isn't it? Should it be taking this long to arrive? I assume there's no way to track it down?

I noticed some people got their noa2 within 4 months time. That's amazing! I hope things move a little quicker for the rest of us.

Yeah I think you'll get a second one with the access number and stuff so you can add the paper filed case to your USCIS account. If you called them a while ago, they could have meant it's still in the Texas lockbox facility. For example, we had to mail our to Phoenix, AZ first. After the lockbox in Phoenix received it they sent it to California which is when we got the electronic receipt. If you called the USCIS after you already got the receipt and they said it's in Texas then it's being processed at the Texas Service Center.

 

As far as what you can do with the online access number: You can upload more documents to your case if needed, view the history of updates (though usually there aren't many!). You can see what files they have uploaded to the account. For ours, they uploaded my wife's birth certificate, passport, our marriage certificate ETC. There's also a messaging system but it takes USCIS forever to respond so it's sort of useless. Overall it doesn't really let you do that much!

Gotcha thank you. I just called to verify the center. They said tx. Well, both centers have long processing times. Guess I'll be waiting for some time.

It doesn't really tell much other than (possibly) which service center your petition is being processed. When we got our online access number it was about a week or two after the first NOA1 receipt. Since basically everyone's online status says Nebraska, the way I found out that our petition was in California was by reading the NOA1 and messaging USCIS to confirm, and they said it was indeed in California.

Oh, I should be expecting a second letter than. Alright, thx. So my letter has Potomac service center. But when I called usics they said it's with the center in Texas. Which is where I mailed my i130? So, I'm not sure which of the two is correct? So when you got your online access code, did you find it useful? What can I do with it?

Hey, 

I just got my noa1 today in the mail. Just says that my case is being processed. Can I use this letter for anything other than checking my case status? It doesn't have a online access number. I know that I'll need that in order to add my case to my online account.

Just got my receipt number last night via text. Case status shows that the notice of action was e.ailed but, I haven't received any email. Will that email give me an idea of how long this could take. I heard that they contain a wait number 

Oh, I see. I guess I'll have to get comfortable with waiting. I'm trying to find a senegal posts to follow. Do you have any tips or suggestions for me? Are you still working on your app? 

oh, great! thank you for answering my question. how long do you think homeland will take to approve my app if everything's good? 

Hello,

i submitted a i130 for my spouse two weeks ago. I just saw the fee is pending with my bank. my app was mailed to the lockbox in TX and i paid with a card; not a check. i was just wondering how much longer it will take before i get a receipt number? what does it mean that the fee was charged? does it mean that my app was accepted? could it still get rejected?
