Yes, the first receipt notice was an sms followed by a letter version by mail.
An online account would be useful though in the future when submitting the nxt batch of paperwork but we haven't received an online access code as we submitted the petition as a paper version.
And yes, I understand it's a long wait, just asking while waiting π
Thanks for your reply π
Hi, we submitted our I-130 petition in March this year. As we didn't submit the petition online, we dnt have an online account.
Do we receive a letter in mail when our petition is approved? I believe it's not possible to link our petition to an online account as we filed the paper version instead of submitting it online π€
Also, another question. Our receipt notice said at the bottom "Potomac Service Center " but just below that the address of the Texas Service center....does that mean anything?
Many thanks for your help π
Hi,
Me and my USC husband have filed a petition for spouse visa I-130. My last name on the petition was my maiden name. Now my last name has been officially registered in my home country, Finland. Do I need to noticy USCIS about the name change or just wait til the process moves onward & fill in the nxt papers with my new last name?
Also our receipt number starts with IOE. At the bottom of the receipt notice it has "Potomac Service Center " but below the address of the Texas Service center. Which one is? Does it even matter?
Thank you in advance βΊοΈ
We sent in an inquiry today since we haven't received the official receipt notice in mail yet....got an instant automated reply that they will look into it and expect a reply within a month.
We'll see π
Ok, thank you π
I was just concerned if there's some instructions etc on it that we would be missing. And also we dnt have an online access code cause that's on that written notice I believe.
Hi, how long have you been waiting to receive l 797c in mail after receiving the electronic notification (txt msg) ?
We've been waiting abt a month now. Got the txt msg 03/11 and it said the official receipt notice will follow in mail.
I have emailed the lockbox support but no reply yet. Just wondering if others waiting this long at the moment.
Thank you!
We got a txt message 03/11 stating that they had received our petition 03/05 and that a receipt notice will follow in mail pls follow the instructions in that notice.
But yes, we'll just wait π
Ok, thank you πthat's really the only thing that matters. I don't mind waiting for the receipt notice as long as I know that our petition is being processed. Just a bit annoying cause I see ppl receiving them fast and our is over 30 days due...but I suppose it's all about patience now π
I checked on the USCIS web page about the possibilities to send an inquiry regarding our receipt notice and that tool they have showed that I can't ask them about our case until 2027 π
Am I right to assume that even though we only received the sms and nothing by mail yet BUT our check was cashed on the day we got the txt messages, that our case is being processed?
We received that sms receipt notice 03/11 stating they received our petition 03/05 and that an official receipt notice will follow in mail....but we are still waiting...its been 30 days tomorrow....π€
We didn't apply online so I can't sign up for an online account until we get that receipt notice by mail...
I've read here ppl get their receipt notice by mail in about a week so just wondering why ours taking so long? The check was cashed already.
I know right π oh well π€·
It'll be a good while before my interview since we only just sent in our petition....
But glad to find another Finn here π₯° and hopefully things will go fast and smoothly for us all!
Ok, husband checked with his bank ---the check/cheque πhas been cashed π₯³
They received our I-130 03/05, we got the receipt notice txt msg 03/11 and that's the day they cashed the cheque tooβ
I read that it takes 2-4 weeks to receive the I-797c so its been two weeks now so I think we are good. So far so good π
Oh wow π² so we should be good then so far since we received the receipt notice. Thanks for the info! The receipt info txt msg said that an official receipt notice will follow by mail. So waiting for that now π
Hi,
How do we know when USCIS cashes our cheque? How long does it usually take? We sent in petition I 130 and received the "your case was received" txt message with our case number.
Hi, we just got notice of receipt on our I130. Can the beneficiary sign up for the USCIS online account or does it have to be the petitioner?
It's just that I am so much better with all things online than my husband π
