Morning everyone, my papers were delivered to the lockbox on Nov 5th. Check cashed on Dec 11. I never received an email or sms confirmation. I had to call to get the case number. What bothers me big time right now is that I haven't received the NOA. I see from the Google doc that 4/5 of those whose papers were delivered before Nov 10 already got their NOA. I keep calling the USCIS number but the system never lets me talk to a live agent. The trick that someone recommended before (repeating ''didnt receive a receipt number) doesn't work anymore :(( anybody having the same problem? My DL expires at the end of January so I have no time to waste :((

I called them and they checked if they had a case number, and they didn't! Asked me to email lockbox support to ask about reason for delay. 

Yikes! But if I remember right folks had mentioned that they received a note from the lockbox indicating that they would not answer an I751 related questions...wonder why there are conflicting signals from USCIS.
Ok, will email and see what response is received.

In some other threads a VJer @Timona, I think. was tagged as they had gotten through to a human by repeating something like “Technical support” at all prompts.

 

If this continues long after Christmas, I’ll probably have to do the same. My green card expires on January 11 😞

Getting there, slowly but surely...  (I hope )

When USCIS Misspells Your Name:

 

Typographical error form filled on USCIS website 1/4/2021
Contacted USCIS if there has been any progress since THEIR error (Received a Tier 1 tracking number) 2/6/2021
Contacted USCIS again as the issue remains to be resolved (Received ANOTHER Tier 1 tracking number) 3/12/2021
Apparently USCIS chat is worthless; CALLED USCIS, Tier 1 agent promised that a Tier 2 agent would call me 4/28/2021
Received a call from a nice Tier 2 officer who said I may or may not get a correct extension letter, but just in case I would be scheduled an InfoPASS appointment 5/4/2021
Went to local USCIS service center and had to deal with a nasty and entitled customer service agent who refused to give me an I-551 stamp. National Benefits Center is supposed to mail me another I-797 within 7-10 days... So I had to waste my day, taking buses for two hours one-way just to deal with this lady's attitude? 5/7/2021

After anxiously monitoring our mailbox for a few days I DID receive a corrected I-797, w00t! All documents good to go Vaccinated Ready to visit my parents in Europe for the first time in 17 months!!  5/13/2021

The lesson: Don't use the chat for anything complicated, AND keep hassling USCIS for a response...

Try calling and say - 'Schedule an appointment" then "Infopass". It will reroute you to speak to an agent although sometimes the wait time is long (~1hr).

Technical support and technical problem respectively at each of the 2 prompts. Don't say anything else 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

this worked! They said my application wasn't in the system till December 10th. Then it takes 15 days for the extension letter to arrive. So I should have it this or next week (fingers crossed). Thank you again!!!

@MarshaPM try this. You should get someone within 5 mins and not an hour.

Just called the 1-800 number. Nothing about our I-751 in the system yet. They told me to email the lockbox support people but I know that is futile. The waiting game ensues. Our package was received November 16th.....

Hi. I accidentally sent my packet last November 10 to Texas supposed to be in Arizona. I called the USCIS and told me to email the lockbox but no response yet. I called again and will forward my call to Tier 2. So I am just waiting for them to call me back within 7 working days. My GC will expire Feb. 8 and got me worried about my application that sent to a wrong address. I hope they are going to inform me as soon as possible if they forward my packet to AZ or mail back to me.

Called them yesterday. Similar response. 

Emailed lockbox for what it is worth (automated response). 

Also delivered on 11/16.
