N-400 January 2018 Filers

I only see case is being actively reviewed by the USCIS.

[watashi 24]

Yes that's what the main banner says. Right below it, there are two sections: Case History on the left, Next Steps on the right (with a red and green Statue of Liberty lamp icon). That's the Next Steps I'm interested in. 

[makemecitizen 1]

That's weird. I don't see those options below when I simply check the case status from the link you put up earlier.  It's literally blank with no sections.

 

When I actually log into my account on my.uscis.gov, I see Case Status, Case History and Documents.

[watashi 24]

Myaccount and case tracker are not the same .

 

Within case tracker you NEED to create an account to see what I am talking about, not merely enter your IOE or NBC number. Create a login, add your case receipt number, and then what does that status say ? It should still state in your case that your case is being actively reviewed, but below it, you'll see Case History and Next Steps.

@Watashi

 

You are right. I just created an account for it and I see it now. I see the same thing.

 

We will prepare your case for officer review.  If we need more information, we will notify you.

Thanks. I hope more members can comment whether they're all seeing this same Next Steps message, or something else.

Egov is an older system that I believe is in the process of being depreciated. 

 

Eventually only the newer USCIS "My Account" will exist. 

[watashi 24]

ELIS (https://public-prod-elis2.uscis.dhs.gov/efile/app/app) is the older site being replaced with the new myaccount as part of the ELIS transformation program, not Egov. The egov site technically is not a 'personal account', and you can't do anything but see status. ELIS and myaccount are personal account sites. Egov doesn't have any references to your application documents etc, nor can you submit anything there. 

 

The egov status tracker has been around for over a decade in the same form. I still have my 10+ year old I129 and 485 receipt notice numberss on my egov account from way back when I tracked them over a decade ago.

Hmmmm how confusing.  The old eGov sites says "USCIS has scheduled your interview appointment and will mail you the appointment notice", the new eGov site says "Case is being actively reviewed by USCIS" and the new my.USCIS site says "We reviewed your biometrics."  No idea which one I should believe!

Hi everyone,

 

Today, I received an e-mail that my case was updated. Logged in, nothing was showing up, still “Reviewed your bio”. Called USCIS, and they confirmed my interview was scheduled, and I should receive the notice in 30 days.

 

Old website does show that interview was scheduled, no date yet available. 

 

To my fellow ROC friends here with it pending and stuff, keep hanging in there! It will happen. Get a fast pass appointment, call them, keep trying until you get something.

There's no 'old egov site'. That is the old ELIS site (https://public-prod-elis2.uscis.dhs.gov/efile/app/app). Ignore this one. 

 

The myaccount site is https://my.uscis.gov/account/applicant

 

The case tracker site is https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do 

 

To see 'Next Steps' you need to create an account on the case tracker site and then add your receipt number once you login. You can track multiple receipts in the case tracker site, including probably 751 receipt numbers. Doesn't apply to me since I'm a 5 year filer (applying after a decade as GC).

Thanks watashi,

Old ELIS site (https://public-prod-elis2.uscis.dhs.gov/efile/app/app) has scanned files of the paper packet application. However the new my account site does not have it.

 

Do you know why the old site is stating "USCIS has scheduled your interview appointment and will mail you the appointment notice." while the new site is stating "We reviewed your biometric"?

And which site is supposed to send you accurate text and email upon case update?

From my perspective, the old ELIS site is not misleading. What's your newest NOTICE listed there under 'Recent Notices', by date ? Do you have anything newer than the one corresponding to the FP notice ? The old ELIS site says 'interview appointment' for the FP notice as well, in case people are not aware. I have two notices, one informing me of receipt of application (12/16/17), second telling me FP appointment sent (12/26/17).

 

I've never misinterpreted the 'interview appointment' status to mean anything other than FP, unless there's a third notice newer than Dec 26 in my account. The status message applies to the most recent notice under Recent Notices, in this case the FP one. 

 

Also, could you please post what I requested from the case tracker site ?

Omg! Hawaii!! Awesome. I did have my ROC pending up until 3/1/18 when it was approved. I don't know if the citizenship application moved it along, it doesn’t look like it. I applied for the ROC on 2/15/17. Is yours California Service Center? I would call them and ask about your ROC. I did call and ask about my case and it was approved a few days later. 

Wow, your ROC is 2017 with CSC already got approved. You have less burden than I do since I'm still waiting for both of them. According to some people's experiences in the N 400 interview with their I 751 pending, some field office can be very unprofessional to drag the waiting longer.

My ROC was in 12/08/2016, I guess I'll call them during my lunch break..

BTW, was your I 751 approval letter from CSC or local office?
