Received WAC# to email but no 797

[juanlee337 0]

I submitted 129f form late November and I got an email notification stating   below:

 

"CASE WAS RECEIVED; On October 2, 2017, we received your Form I-129F, Petition for Fiance(E), Receipt Number WAC**********, and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your receipt notice by November 1, 2017, please call Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address."

 

I have no yet received the receipt notice mentioned in the email above. I haven't received anything at all so I have no idea what my steps are next.  I called the number and they said they still processing and it could take up to 5 months before I received anything because they of the backlog and are currently processing documents they received on MAY!(which sounds like very genetic answer)

 

Should I worry about anything? What can I do to?

 

thanks

The good thing is the petition is received, and you have a receipt number, so the case is started!  I would simply call the number and tell them that you have not yet received the paper copy from of the 797.  I believe I received mine 10 days after I got the email.  The next step now is to patiently wait.  My fiancé's petition has been with the California Service Center for over 3 months now, and it is true about the backlog.  Anyways, do call them and ask them for the paper copy of the 797, and then wait for the NOA2.  Best of luck!

Thanks Edward for the reply

does 797 contain any instructions that I should follow? 

I have called them 3 times already and they make it sound like 797  its nothing more than a confirmation and there is not much to it.

One guy told me that email should be good enough for now.

 

I just want to make sure that all the information I have submitted is correct and is being processed correctly.

Check they have the correct address for you. It'll need to be right going forward as many haven't got online or SMS updates for their NOA2s, they have only received their approval letter in paper form via the mail.

You can submit an online enquiry

thanks but I got a WAC number I received online.  If my status changes, this website should show the changes too right?

I am going to call them tomorrow and try to verify my address with them

They should, but they don’t. Everyday someone reports on the May 2017 thread that they got their NOA2 without the site updating. Some have been issued visas and their case still remains as case received on the site.

Hence my suggestion to get your address confirmed. Best wishes.
