No Case Status Updates After 4 Months?

[AboveBeyond 1]

Hi, I submitted my K1 application back in August 2014 and I've recieved a case # letter. However, when I go to USCIS site see the status, it's blank under "Case History" section.

Is this common based on the fact that 4 months has pass? Or is this unusual?

I just want to make sure whether or not I should be concerned about the lack of status updates.

Note: It's being processed in the Texas office, if that matters.

This is common for most cases. People who have a fiancé in some countries, like the Philippines, get expedited and processed in days or weeks. The rest of us wait while they get to jump the line in front of us.

USCIS is a black hole with regard to providing information about the status of your case. In my opinion, it's more despicable than the IRS or NSA combined. At least those agencies provide some useful information now and then.

I have been waiting since July 23, 2014 and still no update on my case either. I dont know what to do but wait. People here have told me that I should hear about my case soon ( January ), i am hoping they are right because i am getting frustrated as i have not receive any update since July. I guess I am not alone about this issue. I hope u hear something soon from USCIS.

Man, that stinks. I've been reading that Texas can be really slow. On the plus side, once your application is approved and gets sent to the Embassy, the U.S. Embassy of Phnom Penh moves pretty quick. We got our interview date within just a week or two of them receiving Packet 3. If you need any advice on how to handle that step, just let us know. We just finished up that part of the process back in October. Blessings and peace to you on the rest of your journey. The NOA2 will come!! Don't lose hope.

We had to wait 7 months until we got approved in Texas ! And that was our second petition. The first was denied because USCIS claimed to have send us a RFE which we never received, no letter, no case update, no email notification. And after 4 months back then we got the letter that our case has been denied because we never replied to that RFE. So with our second petition we started calling USCIS after 4 months on a regular base just to make sure there is no RFE again we did not receive. Maybe just call them and make sure everything is ok. Ask for a tier 2 officer right away, if you are lucky you can talk to one. Seems to depend on the first person you have on the phone.

Good luck to you and I hope you will hear soon from them. It does take a long time unfortunately.....
