Hi, 

 

Yes I have received the DOS recommendation (in the self addressed mail) on September 4th and this uscis receipt I797c on September 8th.

 

The status on uscis website is still pending and it shows they have received my case on September 1st. 

@PRIG did u receive anything from DoS ? My FR was also on 27th August. 
thanks @J1student. Based on ur timeline, I am assuming USCIS might have received our case on the Sept 1st-2nd as well. However haven’t received any receipt.

That's pretty quick,!  So one can only check the status USCIS online after receiving I797c? just thought to confirm the process.

Oh that’s good. At least you have something (FR). Don’t know why they have so much discrepancies.

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Yes I797c contains the case number you can use for tracking progress on the USCIS website. FYI you can also file an AOS application with the DOS FR, my lawyer says at worst we get an RFE down the road. At that point we would have certainly received the response from USCIS.

@J1student any update at your end?

Hey guys, attached is the USCIS status I'm seeing online with the given I-612 receipt no. It's weird that instead of showing any status its saying that my application transferred from another office (didn't understand what does this imply). Also the I-797C  notice which I received do not mention any other information except the receipt no. It's been >2 weeks since I got FR drom dos. Could anyone here please help me to interpret what does that mean or someone else who is going through / or had similar experience?

appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

In that case look for the transfer dates and count the days from that time. In my case the case was approved the next day at around 7 pm after i received the letter. My case was also transferred and I got the same message as you. In your case the clock starts at seotember 2. When did you get the letter?

So u got I-797c. Great. 
May be @J1student could update if he has the same thing on his status. He seemed to receive I-797c pretty earlier.

I received the letter September 9 but the status is still the same on the website, and its almost approaching 2 weeks since the current uscis office received my case. It just seems a never ending process

My case is showing exactly the same thing: still pending. If you create and account and add you case you can see a bit more history.

Form accepted 9/1 the case was received at another USCIS office on 9/2.

 

I'm waiting on the approval this week, otherwise I'll file the AOS anyways using the DOS FR, that's technically what they ask for in form I-485.

Thanks J1 , That's helpful. I get to know from my department if filing with DOS FR is possible. Please update as your case status changes. best,

Anyone got an update from USCIS on their case after a favorable recommendation from DOS lately?
