February 2016 I-130 filers

[EdinErvina 2]

We are still waiting Potomac center PD Feb 11th.

[JFH 12,190]

Just got our NOA-2 from Potomac today.

Our NOA-1 date was 2-25. We are filing from abroad, in case that matters.

Best of luck to everyone. Looks like Potomac is moving much quicker than originally expected.

Congratulations!!!

I'm focusing on that in less than 2 weeks my husband is coming to visit. Just worried about CBP.

Well I have been on a mission all morning , I was able to confirm that Nebraska is working on 1/4/2016 cases a few were sent for RFE's and I found 1 that was sent to another USCIS center..

We are PD 2/11/16. We are still waiting too. Kind of makes me nervous. I hope the delay does not mean a RFE.

Can you explain how you are checking in on progress of applications? I would assume typing in on the egov site but i don't understand what all the numbers mean. Or is it via another site or app? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

The USCIS receipt or case number is one of the most commonly used numbers, by immigrants and lawyers alike, to track the progress or identify a particular immigration case or filing.

These receipt numbers start with three letters followed by a series of numbers, for example EAC-15-123-45678. Here is how to understand what the numbers mean.

Processing Service Center

The first three letters indicate the USCIS service center which is processing the petition, as follows:

LIN Nebraska Service Center;

Fiscal Year

The next two digits represent the fiscal year in which USCIS received the petition. In the example above, 15″ means that the petition was received by USCIS during Fiscal Year 2015. Note that the government fiscal year runs from October 1st until September 30th.

Computer Workday

The next three digits represent the computer workday on which the receipt was processed and the fee was taken. This represents the sequential workday on which USCIS is accepting cases for intake. In the example above, 123 would indicate that this was the 123th processing date of the fiscal year. If necessary, a date of filing can be calculated starting from October 1st.

Case Processing Number

Finally, the last five digits are used to identify uniquely the petition filed. Our observation has been that these are sequential numbers which are issued as cases are being processed at the intake facility. Cases filed together are often given sequential (or close to sequential) numbers for the last five digits (and overall)

Hope that helps .. Now what I do is add the cases to my online file so I can get detailed case status ( not sure if that is the right way but it works for me ) otherwise it just gives you general info i.e when it was received

one clarifying question...I have a number greater than 365 in my 3 digits after LIN16. How do I interpret that?

Really! That's awsome So hopefully next month we'll start getting approved. I was thinking of requesting an expedite but I don't think you can do anything until you get a case number right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

From my understanding they use a Fiscal year beginning on October 1

I am not sure what requirements would warrant a case to be expedited .

Are you able to share the last case number you see as approved? I want to start keeping track using this method and it will give me a good place to start from.
