Hi Finayyy,

 

How do I look up October and  November cases? Please advise.

I did an info pass last week and was told that they are processing cases from first week of December right now. I hope this helps and I hope it's accurate. Fingers crossed!!!

Yes, I've made several infopasses since I filed. There are times when they tell what's going on and then at times they read their standard script. So I guess it just depends on the person sitting there. Please let us know as soon as possible when you get approved. This is such a painstaking process.

Hello there! Newbie here! 

Just want to share about our case and waiting game is also really not my kind of game. We filed our docs last Dec. 2016 then got our letter that it was approved and have the priority date (jan 12) And case number Jan. 20. 

 

Do we need to do anything after that?? The letter says call a specific number if theres change in ad? :(

What's your confusion?

Did you change your address?

Otherwise, just look at the guide, some steps might be a little outdated but the overall process/waiting is the same.
