“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

My check shows that it's being cashed this morning (well, "pending" but it takes a day to finalize), so that was pretty quick -- mailed on Tuesday, check cashed either Friday or Saturday! No electronic notification yet, but I expect that will come on Monday or Tuesday.

I'm anxious to at least get the paper NOA1, since that will allow us to do a few things like enroll him in health insurance, and I'd like to do that in the coming weeks.

Hey everybody!

Here a November AOS, I-765 and I-131 filler! I've sent my package on december 6th, got our NOA I-797C letter on November 21st dated on November 18th.

Before I received the actual fysical mail, and since we've applied for the e-notification, we got an email around November 19th were they already confirmed reception of our package. On that email, they specifically say that I should wait to receive the letter on my mail before cheking the case on the USCIS website...

Well, I received the letter on the 21st and as today I still can't see no update in the case...It says the following:

""Your case can not be found at this time in My Case Status. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283.""

So Im like: HERE WE GO WITH THE BULL***** (lol). You all know what I mean...is always delays...

I was just wondering if anybody experienced delays to their case status thing... or I should be worrying... I called USCIS and they told me it is nothing wrong with it and that it can take up to 45 days...so Im like...why would you send an email saying to wait until I receive the letter on the mail if now you are telling me that it can take up to 45 days!!!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhranting33va.gif I'M JUST SO READY FOR THIS TO BE OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I understand your pain, but I wouldn't panic, the online case status is notoriously unreliable. So many people report that their case status never changes or is never found, even months after approval!

By chance, ours IS working correctly, although I was surprised to be honest. We mailed overnight express Nov 19th, check cashed on Nov 22, and got the email notification on Sunday night (??? yes, it came on Sunday night at 9:45) Nov 24. Still waiting for the paper mail NOA1, I thought it might arrive today but it didn't. When I checked our case status Sunday night, it said "not found" but Monday night it suddenly showed up normally.

In short, no one knows how or when the online system will work, but I do sympathize and I'm sorry yours isn't there!
