I got my case numbers in the emails but when I go to USCIS site to check, it says they cannot recognize the numbers. That means I am still not in the system or something is wrong?

It'll take a little bit. They received my case on the 27th of February and only today I was able to check my cases online.

there is nothing wrong, I believe they are updating it, my case was received on February 27th and since then I could not track it until when @TL2016 mentioned he was able to track his and I tried mine and it worked. just be a little more patient. good luck.

I have a question: does anyone have experience with, or anecdotally know about, anyone requesting to change their field office to a nearby one in the same metro area just because the other office has faster processing times?

 

I live in SF, and the San Jose field office, 40mi away, seems to be 1-2 months faster than here in San Francisco according the the Processing Times website. 

 

I read this from the USCIS website:

Quote

 

If an emergency prevents you from making your appointment, follow the instructions on the appointment notice. For Field Office appointments you can call customer service and request rescheduling, but we will not guarantee that we will agree to reschedule your case, or that rescheduling will not significantly affect your case.  In many instances, the Field Office will request evidence to demonstrate why you needed to reschedule your appointment.

 

 

It sounds like you can't change your field office except if it's an emergency, and that even then, you're not guaranteed that they'll let you change nor are you guaranteed the same place in line.

 

Is that correct?

That's a good question I'd like to know the answer to as well. But right now it seems like my case will stay at MSC so there's no point in requesting a transfer. If you find out about it let me know.

I've looked into it as well since another field office close by is 110 days faster than the one I am at now (I'd be happy if I would just be looking at 1-2 months like you do). Seems like it is not possible. I researched it and apparently you can only change it if your address changes or if it's an emergency. I would think that USCIS switches the field office automatically if another one is close by and there's a significant processing time difference but apparently that is not the case.

Hey y'all.

 

I have a question which date I should use to track until I get my EAD and AP? Is that the receive or the notice date?

I know that it takes a little longer than the normal 3 months until I get both of the aboved mentioned cards/documents.

[Abhi138 20]

I guess it should be the received date as the NOA mention's the date the case was received ,but i could be wrong.

So the day when I received the email/text message?

There are two different dates on NOA1 abd I'm a little confused.

Sorry... :/

[SparklePony 238]

The notice should have a date for when it was issued, no?

 

What is the second date?
