Guys I was told that the apps that we are using are not uscis ... the only notification system they have is on the website and the normal email or text (told to me when I called)

Unfortunately, USCIS website is not working too. It has not updated people's case status since last week of April or first week of May.

That is correct, but it is still broken.

So I am just wondering, how can it be so long to receive a petition through mail. Anyway why isn't faxed? But seriously, it takes 3-5 business days for mail, how can it take more than 2 weeks to get to NVC?

I called the 603 334 0888 number and told them my case number, and she asked if I was getting the number from an approval notice that was sent (which was a bad sign already, meaning she could likely see there was nothing in the system). I said no I did not have an approval notice, and she told me to call USCIS.

 

Sometimes I think I would rather just be ignorant to what's going on than to know my case is still in received. Oh well, was worth a try. 

Sigh I got a similar response from the NVC. They told me they couldnt find my receipt number in the system and asked for my approval number which i dont have. I guess my case is still being processed at uscis..

I called CSC because I freaked out since almost everyone with same RFE received response date got their NOA2 and I thought the system is broke. But no, they still didn't work on my RFE response of course. They said I can wait up to 60 days which just ruined my week. 

 

Everyone here says the systen is down but when they sent RFE and received the response my case status got updated .. so it's not down for everyone I guess.

The system mostly works for RFE. It's mostly broken for approvals. Hope they get to it soon, I know how hard the wait can be, as I am still waiting.

We have the same RFE received date.  We were really hoping to receive a response back this week too.  Hang in there!

My status just updated on the USCIS site...

[SkruDe 311]

Approvals are whats not being updated on USCIS website.  Other functions seem to still be working.

Which makes me think it is deliberate that approvals no longer show.

Why are they being deliberate about not showing approvals?

[Hannah96 110]

People with RFE and now NOA2, did you at least get a hard copy in the mail of NOA 2 or did you called CSC once a week to see if you got approved? Guess I let my fiancé call once a week in case their 'mail system' doesn't work either.

I just want to update my petition you guys. Yesterday I posted about the timetable USCIS has on their side, complaining and frustrated about our case still being RECEIVED.

 

So earlier this morning, i decided to call straight to NVC to ask what is going on with my status (still says RECEIVED on the USCIS case tracker).

 

( waited 20 minutes before my call got answered )

 

Him: Good morning sir, how may I help you

Me: Hello sir good morning, my name is bla bla bla and I just want to ask about the status of my petition, here is my receipt number ( WAC )

Him: Okay sir, may I ask who the beneficiary is and what is her date of birth.

Me: ( gave him the info )

Him: Sir, your petition has been sent to Manila Embassy. The embassy will contact her soon.

Me: (shockingly said) WHAT??? My case status still says received though ? Does that mean we are approved?

Him: Sir, you are not only approved. Your case has been sent to the Manila Embassy. In this case, your beneficiary is just waiting for the embassy to contact her with the requirements.

Do you want your case number?

Me: OFCOURSE! Thank you sir.!

( so on and so forth )

 

So I got the case number and rushed to my laptop, check the status of it ( NVC site ) and it says " Ready " ( ready for interview!!!!!!!!!!!! ).

 

I was like what the heeeeckkkkkkk ?? So i have been waiting for our approval but our case is ready for an interview.

 

LOL, im not even mad, it's amazing!!!! 

 

TO ALL THE JANUARY FILERS, THE FIRST THING I RECOMMEND FOR YOU GUYS TO DO IN THE MORNING...

 

DO NOT CHECK USCIS STATUS TRACKER, DO NOT CHECK YOU MAIL. TRY CALLING NVC RIGHT AWAY!!

 

PS: January 23, 2017 is my NoA1. Never received a NoA2 hard copy, my WAC receipt never got updated ( Still says RECEIVED )  

 

 

 

Hi there!

 

I just tried calling NVC, and the gentleman who answered the phone asked for me receipt number (WAC), then asked for my approval number. I explained to him that, that was my reason for calling. That we have not received an approval number from USCIS, after the "case received" status. He said unfortunately, we cannot help without an approval number. I then said, "so you are unable to give us any information with the receipt number?". He responded no and suggested I call USCIS... Was there any other information you gave him besides the WAC #? Any help is appreciated! Thank you . January 30, 2017 NoA1.
