Hi all,

i can't view the status of my case online with my noa1 receipt number, is this normal?

the error message is (validation error)

Case Status Retrieval Failed

This Receipt Number cannot be found at this time in this automated system. Please check your case receipt number to see if it is correct. If you have questions or concerns about your case status, please contact the National Customer Service Center.

Patience is required I'm afraid. They're a little slow on updating their database recently.

Yes and understandable considering the large influx of cases filed before the rate increase.

Also if you are trying the number that is printed on the back of a check, it may be unreadable, as it was in my case, I had to wait until I had the NOA1 letter in hand before I could look the case status up.

At this point all the system will say is that the case was received.

YuAndDan: In your race to post (which you lost) you missed the fact that the OP already has their NOA1.

I think after you have your biometrics the case number starts to work. I received my NOA a little bit ago, and none of the case numbers are in their system.

We'll see if the VJ'ers theory on biometrics appt making the case numbers start appearing works, next week.

This immigration process has teached us patience, continue on in it!

yeah, who knows whats going on.

anyway angelic. good luck.

Interesting. If that's true its certainly a new thing, my case was available online long before I had my biometrics for example.

Hey guys, I think we're all experiencing the same thing! It's the same remarks I had when I checked my case....

I called UCIS and they told me that as long as I received the NOA and I have it, rest assured that they have received my application and is now in process....

I guess what we can do is just wait and pray....

Goodluck to all of us!!!

No it's just a random thing. Some VJ users who filed in July had it available right away when they received their NOA, some right after the biometrics and some are still waiting.

Yes Cecy, I was wondering if people were just seeing patterns in noise.

Thank you all for your valid responses, we called the USCIS, and they said it is okay as long as we have the NOA1 and biometric info. it takes time for it to show on the website

What kind of biometrics appointment for the I-1751 we filed last Nov. 2004 I don't know that time has biometrics is this for a finger prints? Or is this to make faster apps? My case is still pending now I check and called USCIS they don't even answer my question nor don't know why my case is still pending why it took so long and years I had been waiting 4 1/2 years I should be illegible to apply a US citizen now. I have no idea why my case is pending is anybody have the same case as mine? What do I need to do pls. help me.
