When I go onto the USCIS website to the case status tracker online and type in my MSC receipt number it says "Validation error"

how did you know your case number isn't working?

It has been almost 3 weeks after sending the RFE response but case status still on RFE. It has not been changing even if we sent the response.

Does that mean my receipt number is also not working????

Congratulations to all those who have completed the process and all the very best to those still waiting - hang in there!

I had my interview last week - it was very straightforward and we were told at the interview that our case was approved. It lasted about 40 minutes but could have been shorter if they hadn't been experiencing technical difficulties on the day! Our officer was impressed about how quickly the case was processed. One thing we were told was that me being from the UK probably helped because the USA & UK have good communication and typically speedy sharing of information. Other countries might take longer to share records and/or need to be translated. Don't know if there are any other Brits on here who would agree with this? Obviously there are lots of other issues which might hold up cases, fortunately I think ours was pretty simple.

Thank you for the support and company along this journey folks - I wish you all every happiness!

Congratulations! We have our interview scheduled next week and I am from the Philippines, right now the Philippines president is being a jerk to the United States. I hope it won't affect my aos journey. :(

Thank you! I don't think it will be a problem - seeing as you've got the interview scheduled it seems like USCIS has been able to get all the info they need to process your AOS application. Good luck next week and let us know how it goes! :)

Mine was updated to "being produced" on Oct 11.

Changed to "mailed" (without tracking info) on Oct 26.

I got a flight to Europe booked for Nov 2nd - still hope I'll get it by then :)

Are you supposed to make a service request at 75 days if you dont hear anything regarding your ead/ap? Im quickly approaching that number and not sure what to do.

Dumb question alert!! I know we can track our cases on uscis.gov..... But is there any other site we can track our info on?

There are 3 or 4 apps available for free that make checking quick and easy. Android and iphone. Just search uscis ?

Got our approval notices in the mail yesterday. Hope to get the card this week.

Anything on your end?

I've got an approval in mail only for my AP on the same day as you did. But nothing on EAD :(

I am so frustrated of waiting!

Going to USCIS office today (having an InfoPass appointment). Hopefully I will be able to speed up the process somehow. I have a letter and offer from my employer.
