How can we ask Emma with live chat regarding which service center my case is in now? Is it possible the Emma recognizes the question and answers? I am wondering if we can ask like “which service center my case is in now?”

 

 

 

 

You have to click on Ask Emma in the website. When the chat opens, ask to speak to a live representative. Then you will get the option to do a live chat with a representative. The representative will ask you to confirm some personal details (receipt #, date of birth, mailing address). Then after confirming, you can ask the representative which service center your case is at. Just remember that live representatives are only available Monday - Friday.

Did anybody notice the October PD approval on Igor’s List? 

Yes, I've seen it.
They did say though, thatthe hubby was a US Army veteran. Not sure if this had an impact...

Oh ok. I thought they only expedite for those who are deployed. I could be wrong. 

They didn't expedite, but they said it might have helped (but they don't know for sure).

Oh ok.

I think that currently IOE cases from August 22nd are processed. Don‘t know which service center, but I‘d assume Texas or Potomac.

Yeah, I saw a few approvals on FB from that date. That’s why I was confused how they went from August to October all of a sudden. But maybe it was bcuz of the Army veteran status like you said. I hope everything starts speeding up and we see more approvals soon. Do you have any guesses about when you think they will start processing September cases?

Phuuu, good question. According to the processing timelines, Texas for example takes 6.5 months on average right now. That matches with what we see here. So I assume they'll start processing the September cases in approx. 2 -4 weeks. But that's just a guess.

That’s what I was thinking too. But then how did they approve an October case now when they haven’t even finished up with August?
