How does the email notification thing work?

My husband and I mailed our i751 on 04/06/2013 to CSC.

I just tried tracking my package:

You entered: 9114901075742380499058

I don't believe I gave my email address to USCIS anywhere. So I haven't received my NOA1. I was curious if I could submit my email address somewhere on the USCIS website to get the receipt number or do I have to wait till I get the hard copy?

You need to go to USCIS website and sign up for an account online. You will need to wait until you receive your biometrics appointment letter in order to have a case number. Then the online system is supposed to send you an email notification every time there is a change in your case status, however many people have received their approvals in the mail without the online system ever getting updated. My understanding is, there is no email notification for the NOA1 (at least I didn't get one and like you, I didn't give them my email address anywhere in the petition). It is just a letter in the mail. You should be getting it some time this week or next week.

Does anyone know how long it takes for the biometrics appointment letter to show up after filing the petition? And how much advance notice it gives? I've noticed that most people have their biometrics within 4-5 weeks of filing I-751, and since it's already 2 weeks of our petition tomorrow, I'm wondering if I should be expecting to get the letter this week.

Package was delivered April 10 ,2013 at 3:00 pm , I sent an E-notification but still didnt hear anything from them

[Christi85 86]

I called it this morning! I just checked my mailbox and my biometrics appointment letter was waiting for me there

My appointment is on Monday 5/6 at the USCIS office closest to my address. So they've provided 3 weeks' notice.

Not sure if I should update the info on the list now or wait until after the appointment is done and over with. I intend to keep that appointment. I don't expect an early walk-in to speed things up in any way so might as well go on my assigned slot and keep things as simple as possible.

I can also confirm that the application number on the letter is different to the one on the NOA1. So I assume I'll be able to use that to track progress on my application online from now on.

And yay, I was able to track my application online!!

Of course it says "Initial Review" and of course I expect it to remain like this for the next several months

Now that we are past the quick phase, let the slow phase begin

Hello everyone! I just filed on Friday, April 12th. Good luck all! It looks like some of you received fairly quick biometrics appointments. Here's hoping the same will happen for us.

Still waiting for my check to be cashed... and still waiting for NOA1. Hopefully we hear something this week, because if we don't, we're going to have to make an infopass appointment or something to see about an extension as his green card expires on the 26th of this month. :|

I think you are a little confused. Read the instructions at the bottom of the list again and everything will be clearer.

The NOA1 is an unofficial name for the letter USCIS sends you confirming they got your petition and that your green card is extended for another year past its expiration date, work and travel authorized.

The date you see on the list is the date of receipt ON THE LETTER (so the date the application was received by USCIS), NOT the date we received the letter in the mail. I sent my package on April 2, it got there April 3 (Southern California to Southern California, s it was quick). They issued the letter apparently on the day when they received it, and I got the actual letter in the mail on APRIL 8, even though it was issued April 3.

If one lives in a state that is far away from their Service Center, then it could take a week or more for the letter to reach them. Don't worry too much. You only filed a week ago, my guess is you will be getting your letter later this week or early next week sometime.

Hope this clarifies things.
