Lol...Congratulations. yes it does happen. Mine was sent almost around 11pm and when you read other months' filers you will hear people saying this is the time (shortly before, through and after midnight) they get text and emails from USCIS. It isn't a scam. Relax and congratulations once again. Good luck to us all through this seemingly endless journey.

Does that always happen around that time frame? I thought they send texts/messages during the day too...

Thank you! I did not submit I-693, so I'm pretty sure I will receive an RFE for that...I did not want to wait to send the package until my medical exam is done, due to my F-1 visa expiring soon. But yes, good luck to all of us!! 

With my little research online on i-693, they may most likely not send you RFE rather a reminder not to forget to bring or send in your medicals before your Gc interview because it has to be within the one year validity timeframe in  case your interview schedule longer for more than a year. All the same, good luck and we keep looking out for any update and info from USCIS because they have the final say, all we do is wish and speculate.

Aww! A bit sad but still within the 30 day timeframe and hopefully will come your way soon. Good luck and keep it lively and positive. Cheers!!

From other months' filers, they updates and info on there keep pointing towards the USCIS sending out texts messages and emails towards midnight and odd hours, however and whenever it comes, it is okay by me I don't know about others...Lol. all the same good luck.

Haha...thanks.

I felt a lot better when my husband checked his bank account and I saw that they cashed the check.

 

Received 3 text messages and 3 emails from USCIS within the last 10 minutes.

I seriously can't wait for my work permit.  It's getting boring here in the apartment ? Is there a time frame when to expect the EAD in the mail?

The next will be mail for biometrics and then the waiting again. This process may take up to 90 days or a little more so please brace up and keep it positive and encouraged...Lol. it is nerve wrecking but it is all worth it. Cheers!!

Still no one able to track their cases online yet? I had a look at all case numbers +/- 500 of mine and none were able to be tracked besides those who have received a RFIE.

I have tried doing same (adding and removing last three digits of my numbers) to no avail. I wanted to ask somewhere else how long it takes to be able to track cases... What do you think? It is becoming a little like when NOA1 hasn't been received.

Well the email said to wait 7-10 days and it's just been over a week since my NOA. I've read very about different experiences. Some were able to track their cases right away and others had to wait weeks. If I still see nothing in about 10 days from now or when the biometrics letter arrives I'll give them a call.

Yes, that's also what I've heard...I think it depends on each case, but I hope nothing goes wrong. Thank you so much!

90 days unfortunately doesn't seem realistic anymore  more like 120 days especially because the backlog in Chicago at the moment also means that the National Center is going to have a higher volume of applications and they are already way behind on the 90 day time frame.

Received my email notifications about 12:25 AM this morning (YAY) not sure why I didn't get the texts tho. Anywho...now the wait is on for EAD. My poor hubby has already been very restless since arriving and just wants to work. Plus the fact that he doesn't have an ID to travel (domestically) is frustrating him because some of his family live on the west coast. My mindset about the whole thing is...YOU ARE HERE ...that was the biggest obstacle; we made it so now I'm a happy camper...all else will come in due time.
