looky: is that a bit over-imagined? Approval is approval.

Sometimes, they just do not update their system. A lot of people from a new service center will never receive/see anything online, they only receive hard copy of NOA by snail mail just like you. But it is anyway good to call them next week to verify, I believe each case should be carefully check before any approval decision is made...

Well its not necessarily over imagined. I had a scenerio on a previous K-1 petition when it was approved by USCIS. I checked with NVC and they didn't get the case. I checked with USCIS and they say we approved it so its not our problem, check with NVC.

Finally I contacted my congressman, which forced USCIS to look closer. The congressman soon replied back and told me they found my case in an 'Offsite Storage Facility'. Makes you wonder what is an offsite storage facility, a trash can maybe! :D But anyway they finally got it to NVC.

But it was all for nothing anyway, my now wife, didn't go through with the interview.

No but right now thats probably over imagined! These days a lot of the tracking and everything is electronic. Still if Texas told me they approved my petition, why hasn't the USCIS Customer support system been updated? Who knows why MyUSCIS status still shows my 'Case Was Received' still. The NOA2's are pretty canned, I'm sure they can be auto generated and setup for shipping, who knows maybe by accident also.

So anyway my mood is tackle any problem now, if there is one, instead of later.

looky: got the picture but lightning never strikes the same place twice :)

True, but for some reason trouble seems to have a strong attraction to me!. :D Also I noticed that TSC lists their address at the bottom of the NOA2 so at least I have a direct contact of where this NOA2 came from, which would be very useful just in case. :)

Hi Restrion, yes you are probably right. I was checking online and this seemed to have been an even bigger problem in the past where people only get the NOA2 hardcopy but no change in status and even no change at USCIS customer support.

I guess I also had feeling that it can't be! How did I get NOA2 already when nobody else here from TSC got approved? I thought I had at least a month more to go!

Well its already going to be a week since my NOA2 date of the 18th so I just have a week or 2 until it should be received by NVC

Maybe I will hold off from calling USCIS support for now. They are very frustrating and knowing that my case has only been processing for 4 months, they may even hang up on me! :D

Thanks!

Looks like Texas is speeding up.

Oops saw another fast Texas approval but it was actually a DCF!

I'm from the UK and our I-130 is in Nebraska still. I'll be interviewing and doing the medical in London. We are February filers but I follow this friendly thread too. I'm not far behind...

We are almost identical JHF. My NOA 1 date is 8th Feb in Nebraska...I am guessing June will be our month.

Hi Daylight, thanks!

Yes only through snail mail. Yesterday NOA2 Hardcopy just magically appeared in my physical Mail Box! :D

The MyUSCIS thing still says 'Case Was Received' The last update date is still 12/21/15

I know from the past that for some people the case status thing never worked, at least on the old system, but I guess its still doesn't work for at least one person! :D

Mine shows the same thing (and the same date). I told my husband to check the mail tonight!

Congrats, Looky!!!!

We might end up interviewing on the same day! If you're in Dorset we could go together to save petrol! Every penny helps in this situation.

£250 for a medical - I'm in the wrong job.

Thanks JlovesA! The Nebraska people still have lots of approvals left to be had. VJ shows Texas as more than a month behind Nebraska, so I have no clue.

Well so whatever freak accident may have happened to my case, I hope it rubs off on your case and your NOA2 shows up in your husbands Snail Box today! :D

Congrats to all who have received NOA2's and good luck to those who are still waiting.

We received a a message from USCIS today saying our case was sent to the Department of State for processing. I hope to receive the case # quickly.
