Priority Date vs Receipt Date and System Time difference

[MajorSam 1]

Hi all, not sure if someone ran into a similar issue, I am very interested to know their experience.. 

 

I am eligible to apply on 04/02/2018, and I did submit my online application exactly on that date (at around 12:10am Pacific Time on 04/02; I was going out of town for a week early in the morning that day, in case you're wondering why would I not wait till the morning).. The weird thing is the following

 

Priority Date on NoA is showing 04/01/2018

Receipt Date : 04/02/2018

 

and when I download the application snapshot from the online portal, I see clearly the application is e-Signed on 04/02/2018, which is the correct filing date.. I am not sure why the priority date is showing 04/01/2018 and whether this will cause a problem, since my eligibility date to file is 04/02.. Of course, we all know the system anyway does not let you submit your application and pay the fees unless you're eligible to apply...

 

If someone went into a similar situation, I would really appreciate to know how things unfolded.. I know of several filers who got their application (paper N400) rejected because they filed earlier than eligibility date (based on wrong calculations, etc), so definitely do not want this to happen to me, when I followed everything to the T.

I have the same issue. 

 

I applied online at around 2:30am on 1/3, since 1/3 is the first day I was eligible to file an N-400. However, the priority date listed on my application is 1/2.

 

We shall see what happens. I'm still awaiting my interview.

did you try to contact USCIS to correct this? I emailed them, but got a canned response, nothing useful. 

Please let me know how it goes with you, since it seems you applied three months before me.

That's weird...I don't think there is anything to worry about since the receipt date which is used to determine eligibility is correct. Reach out to USCIS through you online account inbox and they should be able to provide you with clarity.

I think I saw someone post that they contacted USCIS over this issue and were told that eligibility is set by the received date, not priority date, so it didn't matter. 

 

Hopefully that is correct.
