Should I Create An Online Account After I Already Sent In My Application?

[madj22 7]

Hi all,

 

I sent in my I-751 application for a ROC in Dec and got my extension letter about 6-8 weeks after that no problem. Recently I received a letter about my fingerprints without my apartment number on it. My mailman at my condo complex guessed and luckily got it right but I am very concerned. Since this is the only notice I’ve ever gotten that’s been addressed incorrectly I am thinking it’s due to something on their end, but nonetheless I want to make sure I have all my info entered correctly in their system. I tried to use Emma, as someone suggested but that was useless. It directed me to a phone number, which was also useless because I tried a dozen times and couldn’t find a way to be connected with a human or find out the info I needed to. My two options as I see it are: create an online account or file AR-11. I can file one of those but I’ve been considering creating an online account for a while now and I honestly don’t know what stopped me before.
 

Now that I am considering it, I am wondering if

 

a) it’s possible to connect the application I’ve already sent off with my online account. Like, how will they know it’s me and have the correct info. 
 

b) if this is a smart thing to do because when I sent off my application months ago I didn’t fill out the online USCIS account number boxes bc I didn’t have one. So now if I create one will that confuse the system?

c) anything else someone wants to add in about creating an online account!

 

thanks for much for all the help guys, you are the best!

You can change your address through an online account if you filed online. But removal of conditions is not filed online, so you won't be able to change it when creating an account. 

 

And you don't actually need to change anything, but make sure they have your apartment number. 

Your best option is trying on the phone again. 

Search the forum as there are a few posts where they provide a way to actually talk to a person when calling customer service.
