Online Status for I-751

[Reckless 0]

Hello!

It's been a long time since I've been on here. Not had to do much with Visa related stuff until recently. So, I sent in I-751 package, it was forwarded to CSC via NSC.

I received my NOA1 in the mail a week or so ago, and it has a WAC receipt number. However, when I pump that in to the case status online as USCIS, it tells me it's invalid. I drop the dashes as the field is too small to have them anyway.

Anybody else had that problem, and if so, how long did it take to update it so you could see it online, or what did you do to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Its the same with me. I tried to access status online ( WAC #), but each time its invalid. I have decided to wait for another week and try again. I don't know how long CIS takes to update the profile online.

You will receive the correct number on your biometrics invitation. I had the same problem but my number wasn't on the extension noa (i never got one) but on the check that I saw online. The number on the biometrics noa was different and worked. Just a little more patience. All the best.

Thank you all. It's reassuring to know it's not just me (sorry buzz17), but you know what I mean!

I will be patient and wait for the biometrics appointment. At least I know they've got it, and it's in the system, which is as good as it gets right now!

Same here. The receipt number on your biometrics appt NOA is the one you need to enter to get case status. But in most cases, it's not entered in the system until after you go for your biometrics.

The receipt number on the NOA1 is an internal number, it doesn't appear in the case status system. I read somewhere that the first digit in the last 5 digit block is how you can distinguish internal from external numbers. If that digit is 5, its an external (and will appear on the case status online), if its a 0, it wont.

You might be right. It's definetely a 5 in my case.

It should say somewhere on your NOA that you will be able to check your online status once you receive your ASC (Application Support Center, aka 'biometrics') appointment letter. The NOA1 number is not accessible for the applicant - only for the internal use of USCIS. There will be a different case status number on the biometrics letter and you will be able to use that one to find out the status of your application, as well as to set up an online 'status' update account. Weird system - yes - but this is USCIS we're talking about!
