N-400 April 2016 Filers

[Ben-Zhanna 1]

Does everyone's case show up on USCIS.GOV? Ours does not yet.

Ours was trackable on uscis.gov the day we received the text.

Question for every one ?

What is the benefit of the effective date from NOA letter ?

Hey Tommy,

Are you asking what the point of reporting it is in the timeline, or asking why does USCIS sent NOA dates?

For our purposes it's to collect and build on a baseline of data for the time it takes for various lockboxes to verify receipt of packages. Helps to build on the estimates it takes for the various checkpoints through the naturalization process.

Other than that, it's legal documentation that USCIS has received your paperwork and you have entered the naturalization process.

Hope that answers your question.

I wonder why ours isn't yet.... The K1 and AOS was trackable immediately.

I was just testing something (but couldn't replicate the issue I had). When I first entered the case number (on the day the email came, I misspoke, email came first), I used lower case letters, so: nbc*XXXXXXX... this returned no results.

It may have been later in the day where I entered in exactly as given in the email: NBC*XXXXXXXX. It was definitely the same day, but perhaps a few hour after receipt that it worked this way.

Ya, upper case, lower case, copy and paste. Nothing is working for me. LOL I'll keep trying over the next few days. If it doesn't come up by COB Monday west coast, I'll call them to verify.

Hi everyone! Package delivered yesterday, 4/20 at 10:16 am. I keep stalking my bank account to see if the check has been cashed as yet. Sigh. Yeah I'm a bit impatient to see progress! Delivered via FedEx to Texas courier address.

[Kiran&Salman 5]

Hello All,

Just a general question. My early filing date is April 25 2016. If i mail my packet tomorrow, it'll reach on April 25th Monday. What is y'all opinion about getting it accepted by Tx lock box right on the date of eligibility? Or should I wait till Monday the 25th to mail the package?

[ameraslam99 5]

If I were you I would wait.

[ameraslam99 5]

Today I check was cashed but still when I track case status it says "your case has been suspended because bank didn't return the money" Anyone has gone through the same experience?
