INFO about Division 8 at Overland Park

[friendlyusa 37]

Don't worry about that.

We were at least happy for few seconds.

It's difficult to eye ball every little detail on a forum like this were emotions take over rationality.

Yes... I see I have made a fool of myself and jumped ahead when I saw this... Sorry everyone.

This is what I saw and didn't read enough details

[quitepainful 56]

On a more serious note, how many boxes do we estimate were "touched" today....? anyone taking the over under here of perhaps 1?

come on flood gates!!! let the levy go!!! (sorry, too soon?)

[Rdz's 3]

So...this government shut-down. I'm guessing I-130 approval doesn't fall under "essential"

[mza001 15]

Uscis says all offices are running, I think because it is a fee for service, it pays for itself with the maney we pay so not dependent on fed govt so much.

So sorry about this. I need to take a break from Visa Journey.... I'm starting to hallucinate.

SINCERE APOLOGIES TO ANYONE I MISLEAD. It was never my intention.

(Note: Regarding the << If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765 >>, we did NOT fill any of these.)

Your Case Status: Initial Review

On October 1, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.


During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators.

If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition.



If you have questions or concerns about your application or the case status results
listed above, or if you have not received a decision from USCIS within the current
processing time listed*, please contact USCIS Customer Service at (800) 375-5283.

Apparenlty 2 options, based on the posts I saw on the forum:

• option1: this a glitch in their system... not important... it happened before to other people

• option2: my case is being taken care of, and I was assigned an Alien Registration Number (hence the "changed" in their email, standing for "created" in fact) => I should have a RFE or a Validation quite soon

I would precautiously consider option1 as we filled in August (NOA1 received post mid-august by email).

We filed from abroad, so it could also be a sign of an expedited case. (hopefully)

Let's wait...
