Guys! I`ve got this message on USCIS web site that Your Alien Register Number was changed. Does this mean something? I understand that USCIS gave me an A-number, but does this fact impact on something else?

It means that your case has been issued an Alien number, which you will find out eventually what that is when you get your NOA2. It's a standard thing and does not have any bearing on the length of time you will be waiting for approval.

Just wanted to take a minute to encourage everyone to try to not allow all of this to stress you out! I was talking to a couple from Ecuador who literally are going through the same process as my fia

Just received our NOA2 - 12 days! Wow...was not expecting that. CSC is certainly approving petitions fast these days. While I'm definitely excited, my thoughts and prayers are with those going through

This topic has been quiet lately! Hopefully we all get some good news soon!

We received our NOA 1 hard copy and got notification of alien number changed today. I'm guessing they received it in California now.

Congrats to you both! :dancing:

I'm not surprised, though! All CSC-ers should be expecting to get their NOA2's around now, providing that they did all their paperwork right! It only seems to take a few weeks there. Us TSC-ers have no idea when our time will be coming.... :pop: ! BUT VJ gives an estimated date of end of Nov to end of Dec! So we'll all have ours soon enough! :rolleyes:

Well, I received an RFE on Oct. 30th. After worrying about it on the weekend, the letter came in the mail on Nov. 3rd. Apparently I'd forgotten to tick the box asking if you have a Criminal Background! I mean, I saw it when filling out the form, but I misinterpreted and thought it was asking about military personnel. Anyway sent it out the same day and hopefully we're back on track.

Congratulations to all those with fast NOA2 and hope and pray the rest of us get ours soon as well.

Oh no! At least it sounds like a simple matter to fix. Check one little box, you should get your NOA2 in no time.
