K-1: Got e-mail & txt from USCIS

[GuruSikh 6]

Hello everyone,

I received e-mail & txt from USCIS this morning at 2:05am .

The txt said: Your application was received & gave me my receipt number. Receipt Notice (Form-797) will come in the mail.

Email (Titled: USCIS Acceptance Confirmation ) said: Similar to txt. They are forwarding my petition to California Service Center. I should receive my Receipt Notice (Form-797) with my receipt number in 7-10 days by standard mail. They also said, once I receive it, I can & should check my status on their website.

Question:

1. The receipt notice they are sending in the mail, that is NOA1 right?

2. Which number is my case number? the receipt number? or they still have to give it to me?

Thanks everyone.

The case number has WAC in front of the numbers. When looking up the case status always include the letters as well as the numbers.

Your good to go then. You can create an account on the USCIS website and put your case number in the portfolio.

ok thx.

Should I create account now or wait until I get in the mail?

In timeline, for NOA1, which date should I put? When I got the e-mail/txt or when I get it in the mail?

Yeah! You can start completing your timeline. You can use the date from the text...it was approved, by then Either way, one day or two, won't make a difference; so choose the one you like best

Your "official" NOA1 date is your priority date. You will see this date on the NOA1 hard copy, or you can find it by going to the USCIS website and entering your receipt number. It'll say "On XX/XX/2012, we received this....."

You should use that date in your timeline for best accuracy.

EAC is Vermont Service Center, WAC is California Service Center.
