K1 CAse Cannot Be Found

[TimS 0]

Hello

I received my NOA1 on Nov 10, 2008. I tried repeatedly to use the USCIS site to check the status of my case. I kept getting the following validation error message:

"Your case can not be found at this time in Case Status Online. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283."

I tried many times to get a human being on the customer service phone line and finally did last week (January 29, 2008). My call was escalated to the next level and a woman explained that they were behind in entering cases online. I said it has almost been 3 months! She asked whether I would like her to send an internal email for a request to enter my case. I said of course. She said it might take a month to get a response to the email. What is going on with the VSC? Does this imply that my case is going to take an inordinately long time to get processed?

Thanks.

Sometimes it takes a while for the online case status system to update, so you may not actually be able to view online. If you have a paper NOA1 it means that USCIS has received you petition. Wait a while and check in a few days.
