No problem! You didn’t get another notice with the access code to create an online account? I got 2 notices in the mail. One was the receipt notice and the other was for the account creation. 
 

This is what the account creation notice looks like: 

D4C33BBB-9A0E-4823-8D70-3F8D35768C30.jpeg

Thanks for your help again. No, we only received one notice. I think we will have to contact USCIS.

My priority date is October 30th but I never saw any updates after the 30th. I don’t know if anyone else is experiencing the same. Nebraska is the service center

Hi everyone. I’ve been seeing some cases on FB which were transferred from TSC to other service centers after the date change without any notification. These filers had called to ask about their case and that’s when they were told their cases were transferred. No other notification or update was received online or by mail. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m starting to think that maybe those of us who had the Feb 23/Feb 24 date change had our cases transferred to another SC.

Interesting... I've seen a few people on FB getting their NOA2 from a different center than Nebraska (without ever getting a transfer notice), but I didn't know that people with the 23/24 Feb date change were actually transfered without notification as well. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I didn’t know that until yesterday. Even today some ppl called USCIS and found out that their case was transferred from Texas to Nebraska. They also had the Feb 23 date change, but no notification abt the transfer. I don’t know if this transfer is a good thing or if it’s going to delay the process even more. I haven’t called yet to see if my case was transferred, but I’m guessing it might have been too.

I think they're just distributing the workload (🙏)

How cases have been processed in the future (Potomac 4 months, Texas 6, Nebraska 12!!!) was/is just not fair.

I hope so. I know that transferring out of Nebraska to other service centers will speed up the process. I just hope it’s the same when transferring to Nebraska from other service centers.

Yeah. I try to stay positive, but I’m losing hope. I don’t think I’ll be hearing anything soon. Everything seems to have slowed down. My VJ estimate also keeps getting pushed back. This wait is definitely long and stressful.

My service centre is Nebraska and I am really looking forward to approval in May, because of how things are speeding up regarding IOE cases in different service centres. Need to keep our hopes high and fingers crossed 🤞🏻

I am very hopeful that uscis is working hard and gearing up their processing game. We will soon have positive response.
