I-751 October 2017 filers

[GoodbyeGirl 144]

Hello! The jury is still out as to what it really means about cases getting 'received' at local offices. All that's really known is that it was unexpected, USCIS haven't made any statement and it's happened to a lot of applications. VJ has been hopping with people trying to figure out if it's a glitch or if cases are going to get processed much quicker.

 

There's another scheduled site maintenance at USCIS going on all day today so it might be worth checking your case status tomorrow for any changes. As for why there are two different case numbers, I don't why that is. The WAC receipt on your NOA states that you can't track your case until you get your biometrics appointment letter, and that will have another reference you can use. That's what's throwing a lot of people, as all of a sudden, case details and the 'received at local office' message is now appearing on the case tracking tool using the NOA receipt number, whereas it didn't work a couple of weeks ago. 

 

So you're in the right boat! You may want to check out the November-17 filers thread as the good people over there should be on the same timeline as you. For instance, I filed in October-2017, and at the 5-month mark, am yet to get my biometrics appointment. 

 

Hope that helped a little and best of luck with your case.

Thank you. I couldn't find the november thread, I will look for it. I almost filed in October, it seemed good enough.

That's one of the many things I like about Visa Journey, you can post all over the place and get help or help others. When I get frustrated about the long wait, I try to remind myself of how far I've come since the K1 days.

 

Even though my other half isn't a fan of anything that isn't government official, I've found Visa Journey to be an invaluable source of help and information. Quite often I've been able to get answers without posting.

 

And now with the ROC taking forever, just being among a community who are going through what I am, is a comfort in itself.

Just checked my case status again this morning, and it now says it was received at the local office on March 5th, 2018- today. So the previous one was a glitch but this is the real deal?

I did call USCIS last week and she gave me a Inquiry number and check again if no information received in the next 30 days. Have you been waiting for over 90 days? Anyone else?

Yeah I have been waiting over 90 days. I got the same response that other people got about being added to the scheduler automatically. Now my case has been updated saying it was received at the local office

[speakerbox 23]

Mine says March 4th

[SabeehNajam 15]

Mine is still stuck at Feb 26th so guessing this wasn't a  glitch after all. Things really are moving forward.

Mine now says Received at Local Office March 5 (previously said Feb 27 as of last week).

 

Any educated guesses what really is going on?

There is a number starting with "WAC" on the I-797 aka the green card 1 year extension you should have received after applying. Use that number here - https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/mycasestatus.do

is there someone in this group whose case was not transferred to a local office? 

I checked mine and as of today I am not seeing any changes. I spoke to my VA friend and her case is transferred to the local office. I don't know if it's good or bad!!

My 'Case Was Received At My Local Office' has changed too today, from 26 Feb to 5 March. No clue what's going on, hoping to get some answers at my infopass appointment on 13 March. I am wondering now what'll happen to the formal process if they do allow me to have my biometrics appointment. Will I get the 2nd reference to track my case?

 

@Vincent Chu would you mind sharing what happened in your case?
