A question about the I-797c Notice of Action….

[TenderHearted 39]

To.all here, I am very concerned about the notice of action that I have gotten. When I filed my I-130, I received two notice of action forms. One was from the Texas service center, where the petition was mailed to, and the other from the Nebraska service center. Is this typical? The forms are slightly different, although they both say form I-797C, notice of action. 

The one from Nebraska has a priority date on it, whereas the one from Texas does not have a priority date, only a notice date. Also, the notice of action from the Nebraska service center says the following:

 

“We have received your form and are currently processing the above case for the following beneficiaries:”, After which it does of course mentioned the name of my wife with her birthdate and country of birth.

 

My question is, when I login to my US CIS online account, it only shows a notice of action from the Texas service center, not from the Nebraska service center. I figure both would be showing. From what I’ve said, does it seem as if my petition is at the Nebraska service center? I certainly hope so, because the wait times are much less long there than they are in Texas.

Thank you for any insight you may be able to provide.

Sounds like your case was transferred.

 

Try on the website case tracker instead of the USCIS account to see if the info appears.

It’s right. 
 

My husband and I just found out we got our NOA1 mailed stating NSC and found out this past Monday with a live chat on the USCIS website that it is at TSC. Ah well.

 

All the best to you on your visa journey.

Where is this case tracker you speak of? I'm looking but I can't seem to find it.

 

The petition was sent to the Texas lockbox.

 

What's funny though, is the Notice date on the Nebraska NOA reciept is 5-20-21, whereas the Texas NOA receipt is 5-21-21.

 

The Texas NOA does say they are setting me up with an online account, and they gave a code to access it (I already have an account), but it says nothing about the case other than the ID numbers.

 

The Nebraska NOA gives the details like the type of petition, name and DOB of beneficiary, plus it gives a Priority Date.

 

I send an email through the USCIS account to find out the info, but I think that is was just an auto response, and I'm not sure if it's accurate. It said the petition was at Texas.

 

I am going to call them and wait forever to get a definitive solid answer. It's hard to believe that they don't offer that info on the online account. How are you to accurately track the time frame, if you don't even know for sure where the petition is?

Thank you, but it does not show where the petition is currently. I assume it is Nebraska, but the only way I'm going to get any sort of closure is to call them. I dread that too, because I know what kind of a train wreck that system is, and correspondingly, the wait times are forever. But I guess it is what it is.

This process is always so stressful. Nothing to say but good luck!
