Hi Everyone,

I getting worried since I cannot see my case online even if I had WAC....... is says "something like case is not found........". My visa will expire soon Nov. 25, 2010. I submitted my I-751 last August 28 and did my Biometric appointment last Sep. 24 after that I don't get any notice from USCIS like interview appointment or whatever it may be. How long is the waiting period to get approved or notice after Biometric? Is their something to get worried here since my visa will expire soon? Please help me enlighten as I always find helpful people here. Thanks

Before you got your Bio appointment letter, you should have receive the NOA which will extend the green card for another year. It will takes months before your case will be approved or interview. There are many people here who are still waiting for approval after their bio appointment.

By the way, you should be able to check the status of your case on uscis.gov using the WAC number listed on your bio appointment letter.

Good luck!

I have no idea why the system is not taking the WAC number. It might take awhile before it appear in the system I guess. Just to clarify, the WAC number on the NOA and the bio appointment letter is different and you have to chcek with the WAC number on the bio letter.

Nope, all you can do is wait after the bio appointment unless they have an RFE or something.

The receipt number on the NOA will not work the USCIS's online case tracking. You need to wait for your biometrics. The biometrics will have the correct receipt number that will work.

As long as you have the NOA, then there is nothing to worry about... you are legally in the US for another year (or until they approve your application). Just be patient and you will receive your biometrics letter.
