Oh happy day! So I took a fellow VJ'ers lead (I'm sorry I can't remember who right now) and called USCIS back for a 2nd time today. This time I followed the prompt to 'change of address'. When I got the Cust. Serv. Rep they said that they couldn't find my Receipt # (hmmmmm), to they transfered me to an OFFICER, who told me that I was APPROVED back on April 24th (day of my first touch) and that they had mailed me out an approval notice which I should get within the week. I told him my status hadn't changed online and he said he didn't know anything about that...he was very nice though. :yes:

I also asked if my packet had been sent to NVC & he said it had on April 24th....(I will take this part with a grain of salt since that sounds pretty fast considering what's been happening lately).

TimsDaisy, etc. Call USCIS and use the change of address prompt. This apparently is best way to find out if it's been approved but status hasn't changed online yet!!

YAY! OF course, my guy has gone to sleep for the nite so I can't tell him yet! LOL. :dance:

Oh sure, I'll change my timeline now! :)

Thanks everybody! It FIGURES that the USCIS online/email notification would screw up for me! Sheesh.

I wasn't going to actually change the address...I was going to turn it around and just say 'oh I was just wondering if I should change it now or when I actually move in a week but I had 2 touches so..." - I was just going to play it off like I had a question about change of addy. Of course when I called the first time this morning to check status, the Cust. Svc Rep just saw the same screen that I had seen...made me feel like an idiot or something...nice to know there's a "NEXT LEVEL" where you can get some real info. It's just hard to get there...and if I hadn't been approved, then they never would've transferred me to an Officer... :star:

Oh happy day! So I took a fellow VJ'ers lead (I'm sorry I can't remember who right now) and called USCIS back for a 2nd time today. This time I followed the prompt to 'change of address'. When I got the Cust. Serv. Rep they said that they couldn't find my Receipt # (hmmmmm), to they transfered me to an OFFICER, who told me that I was APPROVED back on April 24th (day of my first touch) and that they had mailed me out an approval notice which I should get within the week. I told him my status hadn't changed online and he said he didn't know anything about that...he was very nice though. :yes:

I also asked if my packet had been sent to NVC & he said it had on April 24th....(I will take this part with a grain of salt since that sounds pretty fast considering what's been happening lately).

TimsDaisy, etc. Call USCIS and use the change of address prompt. This apparently is best way to find out if it's been approved but status hasn't changed online yet!!

YAY! OF course, my guy has gone to sleep for the nite so I can't tell him yet! LOL. :dance:

Hey - Awesome!!!!

Just more proof that everything works the way they say it will . . .except when it doesn't, then it works the way it works. Gotta love it.

I called them earlier today to no avail. Used the change-of-addy route too. Perhaps something will turn up in my snail mail box now that it's been about a week since those touches.

NOW we're talking Schrod's cat for SURE!

OH SHOOT! I was hoping that would solve the problem for the 4 or 5 of us who got touched last week and then was left hanging. :unsure:

WOW - nice to hear they're fixing the USCIS email!! Hope it won't be down too long.

Hmmm..I called the automated NVC: they don't have a record of my packet yet...

I hope everybody gets those NOA2s soon (including mine in the mail, I'll believe it when I see it...).
