So we have created a USCIS account and when you try to send them a message it asks you to choose an option. If you choose the “case status update” option it doesn’t allow you to submit a query. It just says to check the processing time page. There’s really no option to actually contact a human in any sort of way which is quite frustrating.

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping someone can help us with the following question and I'm sorry if its been asked before. I am a Canadian citizen currently waiting for USCIS Approval for the I-130. It's been 17 months since we filed and back in july of 2022 we got a notification saying our "case is being actively worked on". When we got our receipt notice we had two different processing centers. The Receipt notice had Nebraska but we had another one that told us how we can login to the USCIS website and that had a field office of Potomac. We also are working with Lawyers who also told us our Processing center is Nebraska. We assume we were Nebraska and have been patiently waiting. Recently i saw that if the field office is Nebraska, that based on our receipt date we can submit an inquiry for case as it has taken longer than the normal processing time. When we tried to do it, it immediately spit back a response saying , we can't submit an inquiry as it is within normal processing time. Our only guess is that we're now or were always in Potomac. We tried to call the 1800 number to find out that info, but got no where rather than the machine just kept giving the sam response. We also can't use the message function on the USCIS Website as there's no specific option to choose that we can ask a straight forward question. Has anyone had this two processing centers issue happen to them? any ideas on how we can find out the right office. The reason being since it's taken this long and we have had no responses since july of 2022 , we want to submit an inquiry at sometime its just a point of finding the right office. Thank you for all your help.

Hi Everyone I'm sort of new to this , so hoping to get some clarification. We are waiting for our I-130 to be approved and we got our NOA1 back in May 2022 . Currently i, the case says, it is under "Case being actively reviewed". I know patience is key and we're just waiting to get our NOA2. On the USCIS portal where it shows your case details and documents, there is a tab that says processing time. There is a number on there (ours say 7 months). Does anyone know if that is counting down from when we got our NOA1 (as in next month it'll say 6 months and so forth) or is that saying it generally takes 7 months to process cases based on when we got our NOA1 (so 7 months from May). I assume its counting down based on all the timelines i see on this site and others but i wanted to check. thank you in advance for your help. This site is awesome! Cheers. Ravi.
