  1. MSC is the NBC and that is the code for it on the paper filing cases. If you got IOE receipt numbers, that means that USCIS took your paper filing and scanned it into the Electronic system. This is good as it seems IOE (electronic) cases move faster than MSC (paper) cases. Your I-765 will be adjudicated to completion at the NBC. It will not go to a field office.
  2. Because they were getting status updates like, "Fingerprints taken" and "Ready to be Scheduled for an Interview". USCIS does not give status updates like that for cases in the IOE system. The main difference is that cases with an IOE receipt number means that the applicant either filed the case online or USCIS scanned and uploaded the paper filed case to ELIS (Electronic Immigration System) and that the case file is held electronically. The MSC receipt numbers indicate that the applicant send a paper-filed application / petition and USCIS did NOT scan it into ELIS and the case file remains on paper.
  3. If your tax transcripts / income are enough to prove that you exceed the threshold, you do not need to include assets. My income was more than enough and I did not include assets in either the I-134 or the I-864 and had zero issues.
  4. Yeah I think if it hits the 90 day mark their plan is to engage our senators and if nothing comes of that, then they will pursue a WoM so that they can show they have tried all avenues to get the thing moving
  5. Our friends just passed the 60 day mark over the weekend and they put in the service request Monday morning....
  6. Friends of ours had their interview July 29th and have heard nothing since.... I know every case is different but I don't get why they need additional 2-3 months to adjudicate some cases after the interview. Hope you guys hear soon!
  7. The DS-3025 copy you would send in is really just a reminder to the adjudicating officer that she had her medical done overseas and to look for it in her A-File. Since she doesn't have her copy, you can just mention in the cover letter table of contents something like this: I-693: No I-693 included because as I am adjusting from a K-1 visa, I completed my immigrant medical exam overseas on <Date> and medical report was handed to CBP upon entry to the US at <PoE> on <Date>
  8. I wish I had a clue to the logic and algorithm behind that portal. LOL Our friends who have been waiting on a decision since their interview on July 29th just filed a service request through the egov.yscis.gov site. We'll see if that shakes anyone's tree.
  9. We did a FOIA request for Jaycel to get her entire A-File after she got her Green card. The request was acknowledged on 08/06/2025 and we got an API Update that same day.
  10. A number should be above her name on the I-129F NOA2. It starts with A then 9 digits
  11. We submitted 3 months of my paystubs, my tax return transcript from the most recent tax year and an employment verification letter from my employer
  12. Yeah... that's where our friends are stuck... "updatedAt": "2025-07-29",
  13. Current income is king with the I-134 (and the subsequent I-864). Do you have pay stubs and pro to submit with it to show that your current income is over the 100% Poverty Guidelines? (125% is for the I-864). Als, per the I-134 instructions, you only have to provide your most recent year's tax return and W-2s or tax return transcript
  14. Log into your MyUSCIS account and then in another tab enter the following URL https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/Your IOE Number Put your receipt number at the end where I put "Your IOE Number" and you will get an API readout. In there you will see a section that says "updatedAt": with a date after it. That date is usually the last time someone at USCIS opened your case file
  15. Our friends here in Denver are in the same position too... Interview July 29th and nothing since and no API updates
  16. This is a good point because it will be disclosed to the beneficiary at the Embassy Interview and if they appear surprised by the information, it could cause issues not only between the two of you but also could cause a denial of the visa
  17. Ok then the biometrics is most likely for USCIS to verify your information and also to validate that you have nothing pending and/or no wants / warrants that are current
  18. This is likely the reason for the biometrics... they are going to validate that what you disclosed in the I-129F filing is accurate. When you filed the I-129F, did you include court dispositions, arrest records, etc. ?
  19. You will not get an account number with USCIS unless they send you an Online Access Code to add cases. They will do this for an I-130, I-485, I-751, N-400, etc. They do not do this for an I-129F so you will not get one. Just file the I-129F without an account number listed.
  20. This was specifically commented on by our ISO during the interview and she said that it allowed her to review our case prior to calling us in and enabled her to say she was approving our application that day. She thanked us for doing it. I have read reviews of other people's interviews on other platforms where their ISO thanked them for uploading their evidence prior to the interview as it made their job easier also. I highly recommend anyone preparing for an interview upload new evidence accumulated since filing using the Unsolicited Evidence button on the documents tab of their case in the portal
  21. This is common.... The date on the NOA2 is the official date. The portal lags 24 hours behind whatever action USCIS takes on their internal systems. The I-129F we filed for Jaycel showed approved in the portal on 6/4/2024 but the NOA2 said 6/3/2024. Same with her I-485 approval - The portal shows approved on 7/24/2025 and her Green Card says "Resident Since 7/23/2025"
