Want to change email address for case updates at USCIS website

[Ron&Jen 0]

I think my fiancee made everyone confused that's why we got no response in our previous post.

This is our question:

We signed up at USCIS website so that we can receive email/text message regarding our case status. I put the email address of my fiancee so she's the one who can receive the updates about our case but the mobile number is mine (Petitioner). We want to change the email address to my email address (Petitioner), Would that be ok to change the email address so I can receive email updates of our case? Will it not affect our case? Our papers and everything that has something to do with our papers or me as the petitioner?

Thank you in advance for your help.

you can create a new account under your email address... and it won't affect your case.

If possible I want to use the same account and will just change the email address to mine. I don't know I have no idea if it's okay. ? If not I will just leave it that way under her email address, I've read some posts that most of the beneficiaries here put their email address so they're the one who receives their case updates if it is okay then I'll just leave it that way, under my fiancee's email address and my mobile number.

You can change the address or create a new account; but don't put too much into these updates, Usually, you might only get an update once when the petition has been approved; many here reported never receiving an e-mail. This is not a retailer site that bombards you any time there is any event.

Thank you very much for your response. Is there any way i can delete my account at USCIS website?

But the uscis will still contact/email/text the petitioner whenever there is changes in your case status aside from this account that I have made at uscis.?

I am worried because it is under my fiancee's email address, whenever there is changes I might not get any info from USCIS or from anyone who's processing my case. And my fiancee will get ALL the information since it is under her email address.

I'm not sure if it's possible to delete, but the account would go inactive if not login for some time (90 days I think). It also requires password changes every 90 days.

The only possible events that could happen are: RFE-request for explanation, but you will get a written request of the specifics; approval, and rejection of petition. In all cases, the notice in the site/e-mail is followed by a written notice in regular mail. The USCIS site does not give much details in the case of RFE or denial/approval, only that an event took place. In the case of RFE, the time to reply does not start running immediately.

There is no reason to be worried, you can get same exact info on demand -any time- by using the case number in USCIS web site. The only other 'event' that happens is known as a 'touch', that does not generate messages (I believe), and all t a touch means is that a petition was 'touched' which could mean was moved from an office to another, but no active work has happened necesarily.

Again, written notices to your address (the USC) follow every time an event happens (except for touch). So you would not really miss anything.

The only reason I see of the e-mail or text is an advance notice, 3-4 days at the most. But you can't really do anything with the e-mail/text other than wait for the written notice (in most cases). The only time it might maybe matter is on approval, you would then now your case is being sent to the NVC-National Visa Center for a visa number. That usually takes 1-2 weeks (and could vary depending on case load).

As I said earlier, this is not a retailer site that will keep you appraise of anything going on. In fact, many times I've read of errors in the site (not being updated timely, not sending notices -but a written notice is always sent).

DOn't worry.

When you say : The only possible events that could happen are: RFE-request for explanation,:

it has something to do with changing email address at USCIS site? or is it about my case if they want some more evidence or if I'm lacking something in my I129f packet?

I am focusing here : The only possible events that could happen are: RFE-request for explanation,: if it has somethingn to do when i change the email address so i can receive updates(if ever they email me).

RFE would only be from the petition process, not anything about you changing an email address on the USCIS website.

You can change the email to yours from Jen's without issue. If you get an RFE email it will not have details and you will still need to wait for the actual notice from USCIS.

RFE is about additional documentation/explanations realted to your petition. In some cases is just that you forgot to complete a field in a form, in otther cases yo might have missed/not provide a document.

Changing e-mails will not be reflected there.

In any case, you will get a written notice regardless of whether there is an e-mail srtup or not
