I need help about calling this number 1-800-375-5283 to check about my status but when it says to enter the reciept number it says it's too short, my case has WAC in it, how do you enter that through the phone i'm confused.

i have also tried the new website most of you use now to track the status updates and i saw this, which i was not aware of AT ALL until i checked yesterday, should i be worried? i sent an email like it says but its june now so i'm freaking out 

for WAC with your phone, just type 922 and then the rest of the numbers.

so i called about it and they said no notice was  sent which makes NO sense to me, why does it say then that i was supposed to get a notice by march 28??

Standard response.  It says it on all updates.  It's suggesting that the 'notice' means information from USCIS ie approval.  Since its a form letter, and not personal, the computer spits out a date in hope that your 'whatever approval' will happen before that date.  It's also a nice way for you to stop bugging them for a month.  Guess they hope you forget.  Form letters are like that.

Nothing will come.  It's suggesting that if your approval has happened you will get notification by mail, if not contact them.  But in reality you don't need to since you know I-751 approval processing times are another 6-8 months away for CSC filers and 3-4 months for VSC filers (I'm guessimating these times of course since one never knows approval rates at USCIS). 

 

These updates are generic in that everyone gets the same response.  They are computer generated, and since computers aren't human, they are programmed not to look at each case specifically when updates are sent.  They give the impression that a notice is forthcoming, when indeed, it is not.

 

Do not be worried and do not get frustrated over this.  We all got them *and will still get them) and expect more since you signed up for the auto-updates.  You can turn this feature off by going into your account.

Hello,

I am planning to submit n400 application on July 30th as my window opens up on July 29th. COuld you tell me if you applied online or via mail? If applied online, could you tell me what type of documents you had to upload like tax returns, photo, etc. Thanks

I applied online. Aside from the mandatory evidence of green card and marriage certificate, I also attached joint tax returns for the last 3 years, joint bank statements for the last 3 years, joint apartment leases and now our joint mortgage, joint health and auto insurance policies, my husband’s life insurance policy showing me as the beneficiary, photos, and probably a couple of other things I’ve forgotten.

I have created the N-400 July 2018 filers post. I think many here are in the same boat waiting for ROC and preparing/filing for N-400 (naturalization/U.S. citizenship)

Where do you get 3-4 months from? Vermont is processing June applications, with a few May ones apparently left over. I think you could be unlucky, and get one of their super-special needs or super-lazy dipshits reviewing your case (they're competing in a tough pool for that accolade), but generally, July should be largely done by early August unless they #### something up again. That said, such a situation is far from implausible; I just wondered where you got your information from.

@Jameson before you start throwing daggers.....might you want to look up guessimate....https://www.google.com/search?q=guesstimate&rlz=1C1CHZL_enUS723US723&oq=guessimat&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5120j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Refresh my memory here for a bit.  I know where to go to see processing times by center.

 

But what was the handy dandy link to see what cases a particular center (date wise) was currently working on?

 

Thanks

Mike

Is there any consensus on whether filing the N-400 speeds up or slows down this process, or whether it makes no difference? I've searched these forums and there is a lot of disagreement on this topic.

I think I am going to go ahead and file mine when the window opens for me. Have you heard anything about speeding or delaying the process? I didn't know they were tied to each other.

I've only heard anecdotal evidence, on these forums, and a bunch of immigration attorneys who disagree with each other. There seems to be a relationship between filing it, and your i-751 case getting processed imminently, but it isn't conclusive (hence my question).
