... given all that 'bad-mouthing/bashing' of the uscis.gov website and it's dsy-function,... For those of you who have received the NOA2 over the past few months, (and, perhaps looking ahead... to those who will receive in the next few months) {hopefully, including me!} [and dan].....

Here's the Survey Question:

Did you first receive your NOA2, by

1) text

2) email

3) snailmail

4) other? I can't think of 'other', but it's early and maybe I'm leaving something out.

We registered for text and email alerts, but didn't get them :bonk: I checked the USCIS website one day and saw the dot had moved, and then I got the hardcopy 4 days later. Waiting for NOA2 sucks-but when you do receive it, it is the best feeling in the world!! Good luck :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

scottnlizzie,

....

..... check to make sure you have entered the correct number on the uscis website. I made that mistake, and it was saying something my "I-130" visa app, which was throwing me because I filed the I-129F. I was OFF by ONE NUMBER... had typed it one digit wrong and so, I'm jus trying to help. Maybe you made a similar mistake.

I didn't check, but I think I'd call the uscis and talk to them, if you are worried, which is understandable. I think I would be, if they said they could not locate my application.

_______________

jaja.. crazy GringoD :bonk::rofl::help:

Yes, ... number 4) notification by way of the 'organization at issue', the uscis website.

So.....

1) text message

2) e-mail

3) snail mail

4) U S C I S website
