Don't worry about the Case Tracker saying it does not exist.  I've seen multiple people say it could take up to 2 weeks before the Case Tracker works.  Don't worry.  Text is the most important part.  It tells you that A.) You filed correct papers and fee so package won't be coming back to you; and B.) You'll be receiving paper NOA1 notice soon.  Which is your legal proof of (pending) status.

Thanks for your help! I tend to be a little bit impatient..I wanted to have the case number in MyUSCIS so I wouldn't have to worry about the number in the future.

 

Good luck with your case!

@SkruDe @JJBUI3 I got my text notification yesterday (11/15). I'm trying to look up the case though, and it keeps telling me that the case number doesn't exist 

Have they cash your check?

hey guys! anyone still waiting for their NOA1? According to UPS, USCIS have received our package last October 31. But as of writing, we still have no news of any NOA1 yet. Any of you have the same filing date? 

I sent my papers November 6, they received it November 7 (i live in Chicago area, that's why it was so quick) and i received a text from them that they received my papers only last night, so November 15th. It's been over a week. Now I'm waiting for hard copies of NOA1 in the mail. Which they say it will take 7-10 business days.

I actually received the notif. a day after I wrote this last week, haha. I'm also waiting for my hard copies, hoping it will be today. It's a good thing you're in Chicago, you'll receive things way faster!

I think people post in both topics all the time! I sometimes write in the K1 thread too just to compare info haha

A bit off topic but I get really excited when I see people from Ohio/Cleveland

I was up at The Boardwalk restuarant in Put-In-Bay earlier this summer.  Had an amazing perch dinner.  My wife had the Tuna steak.  We then went to Perry's cave and the winery across the street.  Can't wait to go back next year.

Oh  my gosh this is great to hear!

You should check out the other winery, too, it is my favorite!

Hubby and I work at the Beer Barrel which is across the street from the Boardwalk.

You can always contact me if you need any help/recommendations.

We live on the island year round.

They did, I can't exactly tell you when though :')

 

Also, now I am able to look up the case! It only has "fingerprint fee was received" but at least it's working.

We mailed our AOS (4 lb package ) on 11/7 and they received on 11/9. Still no email/text notifications for NOA which is making me a little crazy... but trying to be patient.
