Received NOA 2 on 23 March. Approval date was 16 March. Like many others, I had had no alerts or updates on the site or application. 

Congrats!! Your timeline is similar to mine. Pd 9/26, noa 2 dated march 16 and arrived march 22 in the mail.

 

I received 6 emails and a text. Wondering if it's because I filled out the g1145 form and created an account on uscis website also.

Love the similarities! I did both of those, too. Every time I tried to turn alerts on in My Case in USCIS, though, it never changed from N to Y, despite the page reloading. I tried on multiple browsers, too. Ho well! Yet another mystery in this crazy world.

Hey guys so I updated y'all couple days ago, I got my approval letter for my husbands i-130, my PD was 9/2 and I was initially sent to Nebraska, I got update letter letting me know case was sent to Texas as of 2/7/2017, I downloaded app to check status which I did religiously 10000 times daily, no update and I called every day this week to try to speak to officer, no luck and even then uscis was telling me my case was still pended!!! I received approval letter on 3/23!!! Don't trust apps and don't waste time calling!! They do not update their system!!! Keep eyes out for letters!!!

Finally congrats! Some people have been says bf don't waste your time calling and checking the app and so on for the pass couple of days. But no one will stop, they will call, check apps etc everyday until

they realize they get the letter in the mail then they will say the same thing I said don't waste time blah blah ??? trust me believe that. 

 

 

Just saying but listen that the best news ever yaya congrats,I always get excited for people and I here waiting ion RFE letter lmao it.

I wish I could stop looking. I was saving a lot of receipt numbers before mine so I could get an idea of how many to go and the app locked me out for too much use! Lol

It seems that those who have been transferred do not get app or email updates. Am I wrong? Maybe the email and online information does not get transferred with the file. Has anyone NOT transferred just gotten a letter in the mail?

Guys,

I submitted I-130 for my wife and daughter (separately)  in Sept 12 (receipt date) 2016 as LPR to CSC (california service center). I became naturalized US citizen in feb 24th of 2017. The same day (Feb 24th) called USCIS to upgrade both petitions from F2A to Immediate relative of USC. The lady in USCIS opened two cases for my petitions. USCIS sent me an e-mail on March 7th asking to send my naturalization certificate for my wife's case and the same day i send my certificate. I didn't hear anything from USCIS for my daughter's case so i kept calling until March 20th when i met a nice lady who told me that the request to send Naturalization certificate was sent out (via e-mail) on March 10th. I never received that e-mail so l wrote a cover letter and faxed the naturalization letter in March 20th for my daughter's case as well. 

March 21st, i called USCIS again to confirm if they have received my naturalization certificate for both cases and if both my cases were upgraded to F2A to Immediate relative of USC. USCIS confirmed that both the cases were upgraded to Immediate relative of USC. 

Now the most frustrating part is, i hear conflicting information while i call USCIS for the receipt date of my petitions. 

One lady at USCIS told me that the Receipt date for both of my cases will change to Feb 24th since i upgrade my petitions from F2A to immediate relative to the date when i naturalized. Other lady at the same institution said it takes 4-6 weeks to action on your petition after the petitions were upgraded. Not sure which one to Believe. 

I am wondering if anyone has similar experience in the past? I am trying to figure out if indeed my wife's and daughter's receipt date will change to the date when i naturalize after they are upgraded and the petitions go back to queue? California Service center as of Jan 31st is processing october 15th 2016 cases, if upgrading the petitions reset the receipt date, mine will pushed few months back at least by 3-4 months and i am really worried if this is the case. Otherwise CSC has already processed petitions way beyond my wife's and dauther's receipt date so how long does it take them to action on my cases?

I would ask this question in a separate thread in the appropriate forum so that you will get broader responses. I could be wrong, but I doubt many people here have had this exact experience.

 

Good luck with your case

Misshepburn, 

 

You are right. I decided to make another thread under IR1/CR1 thread. Hope to get some answer from wider audience

Hey, we got mail from USCIS saying that we're approved last Friday. Like many others, we didn't get any update with email or homepage. PD is Sep 18.
