Something seems strange!

[SarahandBen 4]

So I know its early days but for fun I thought I would look at the other I129Fs in my group by checking the receipt numbers around me on the USCIs website (a trick i learned on here) and it seems like my case is different to every single other I129F received that day at CSC.

Basically my group looks like this -

WACXXXXXXXX14 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX15 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX16 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX17 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX18 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX19 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX20 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX21 (OUR CASE) - The I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office.

WACXXXXXXXX22 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX23 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX24 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX25 - On April 22, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION

WACXXXXXXXX26 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX27 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX28 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX29 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX30 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX31 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX32 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX33 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX34 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

Why has 19 out of 20 cases had their Alien registration numbers changed and ours has not? What does it mean by "was transferred and is being processed at a USCIS office" ?

If anyone can help answer this it would be much appreciated, Im starting to worry and feel rather left out!!

Sarah and Ben.

P.S Cant believe the case 4 places behind us has already been approved! - i.e Feb 1 2013 NOA1, April 22 2013 NOA2!! (expedite?)

The alien registration number has changed notice is an error. Has been a known error for quite a few months now.

It could mean anything as it was not put into the computer correctly for any of those people.

don't worry about those other receipt number, those applicant might be applying for different forms. means different forms different processing time.

I tried doing this with my case numbers, and went back 60+ case numbers and not a single one of them was an I-129F petition. I may try again at a later date and see how far back I have to go to find one, but luck has not been with me thus far

[SarahandBen 4]

No they were all I129Fs, I just didnt cut and paste the whole sentances for those into my post, the full sentance for all 19 of them said exactly - "On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)."

On ours it said exactly - "The I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office."

I just dont understand why there would be one different, and am hoping its not because ours got missed or slipped through the crack somewhere. It has said that same thing since the day we got the receipt number.

Forgive me if this is a very silly question, but have you tried going forward? It may be that you are the first/last in the group.

I just wanted to mention that I received NOA2 nearly two weeks ago, and my case STILL says Alien Registration Number Changed.

It's not always accurate. Calling USCIS might be a good idea.

I went forward a few, but am more curious to find those before me so I can start watching them when the time gets closer. If I start seeing after me get approved, that just won't do me any good in my own mental health

I've got lots of time to keep back tracking... I bet eventually I find that group of yours as you are merely a day before me

I'm having trouble finding I129Fs that filed before me, but the 10 that filed immediately after me have all either been approved or gotten RFEs.

[Maxheadspace 48]

Maybe the USCIS worker that received your application didn't get the memo that day explaining which response to use. As long as it doesn't say that it was denied, returned for cause, or RFE, you should be good to go. I'll cross my fingers for you!

I know! thats why Im a little surprised and annoyed to see someone behind me (WACxxxxxxx25) has already been approved! Are they really approving Feb '13 Filers already??

Also, the first numbers after the letters "WAC" is the year received (so we are 13) and the next number is what business day that fiscal year it was recieved so on mine its 90 (Feb 1st NOA1) and yours will probably be 91 (if your Feb 2nd and as long as the next day wasnt a weekend) so If you want to get to a different day you just have to change the 3rd and 4th number after WAC.

Cheers.

I see your Feb 8th. Im actually Feb 1st, as are all those others in my group I showed, but their alien numbers were all then changed on Feb 7th - and mine was not!

I know the Alien Number change dosent mean anything in itself and is just a mistake, but does it mean something if the mistake was applied to all but one case? Could it be that it didnt get seen at a certain stage where it should have been and so didnt trigger the message?

Still perplexed!

At this point, anyone who was approved from February is almost guaranteed to be an expedited case. For my own sanity, I just assume all expedites are for active military members needing specific timing on their petitions. There could be other reasons, but that one works well enough for me to overlook them

Also, just as an aside, mine is also 90 after the 13

ah yes, I see. So you are a week ahead of me then. As for the reason it's not on yours, it's hard to know since there's never been any official explanation of why they started adding it early in the first place.

I'm guessing since you got accepted, you should be ok, but it's really hard to tell. I'd recommend possibly calling a tier 2 rep and asking them, but it may be hard to explain that you know this information because you use the online data to snoop in other people's cases
