I see from a recent search on VJ that it's the biometrics letter that will have the correct reference number on to use for checking status online.    I won't be receiving the letter as I am on my husband's government orders overseas so I had to submit passport photos and fingerprint cards with my ROC package. 

 

Is there any other way I can check my status online? Are the service centres very responsive to enquiry emails? 

 

Thanks

You know there is a military help line exclusive for members of military and their families. I am sure they have had situations like yours before. Maybe you could give them a shot first.

Apart from this, not sure if this is still the norm but USCIS expedites military petitions. I've seen this during my ROC, VSC which is crazy crazy slow, responded to military ROCs much much earlier than they started processing ours. We didn't know if those people were in military and when asked how they got approved so quickly, they said they were in military. Maybe you'll also experience this expedited processing. Good luck!

Thank you!   I was thinking maybe there might be some expedite because of the orders but I can only hope! I had to write government orders all over the I-751 form so I guess it gets put into a separate pile for processing.   It's not a big deal though, we will be in Germany for at least two more years, but it's just nice to check up every now and again to see how things are progressing :-)
