Good Afternoon fellow April 2015 K-1 Filers,

I've been following this thread for a while now, just never posted.

I have a question regarding the timeline dates. I have entered on my timeline the date that I recieved the text indicating my application was recieved which was April 16, 2015. However, the date that the application was actually recieved was on April 13, 2015 (On my I-797C). Which date should I be using for the NOA1 date, the date they sent the electronic notification or the date the USCIS indicated they recieved my app?

I enjoy following this thread and I wish everyone the best on this stressful journey that we have all embarked on!

Blessings,

Ashley

I think the correct date to report in timelines is the date on your letter, not the date you got your electronic notification.

Welcome lurker :)

Guys!!

My fiance called that 1800 number and after a long time on hold he got to talk to a lady who according to him sounded pretty nice. She said the website has no issues or glitch reported, and that the message we are getting appears when someone is working on our case. Jim told her also that when we sign in, we can see that our case was updated on April 14. She said, that means that on April 14, someone worked on it and until one touches our case again, then that is the time we will see a new date, update, rfe or approval but she can "see in the system" our case is already assigned to an official and its on initial review, she also explained this is the 2nd stage after acceptance which is automatically generated when we get the noa1 (this explains why I was able to see my case before) during initial review stage uscis do the background check of the petitioner and review the case to see if there are red flags (fraud)

Just wanted to share this with you guys....hopefully we get good news soon.

Have a great weekend everyone!

And congrats to Naire37!!
