NOA1..maybe......?

So I just tried call number 2 for the day...this is what I was told this time....

"There is a huge backlog of applications that have not even been opened yet. USCIS is telling customers to expect to wait 90 days before inquiring about receipt numbers."

When I asked her how anyone else would have called just yesterday to obtain a receipt number, she told me the policy just went into affect TODAY. I can't believe this sh!t. This can't be real.

How is someone supposed to wait for 90 days just find out if their application was even RECEIVED! Assume someone's app didnt get received, they would have to wait 3 months just to find out that they their application NEVER moved ANYWHERE.

What can I do? Is there anyone I can beat up?

2-3 wk ago my boyfriend called to immigration for ask for the case number. He only had the mail receipt and he said it number to the person who attended him and the person checked the case. Next, my boyfriend ask him for the number case. My boyfriend explained him that he need this case number for check the advances on the case himself in the USCIS page. The person gave him the number, he had not any problem... He had to explain why he was calling. He said because he had not any news about the case and it had passed already a lot of time... Have you your receipt from the post office where you sent the package? You could try it one more time... Good luck

Yes, its an NOA1. 08/01/07 should be the receipt date. and 08/03/07 is a touch. Probably cashing a check or putting your case in the computer or something. You were lucky to get this info.

Just remember, anytime you call to ask something they will enter that as a touch, it does not mean anything was done on your case, just that they spoke with you cause you called. Plus, it has been said on other threads....the more we call, the more we tie up personnel that could be working on our cases, so if it is not an emergency, please do not call them, use the RFE trick etc. It is hard to sit tight I know but we can do it with the support of everyone here.
