Didn't send Form G-1145 with AOS package

[Nous Eb 128]

Can I still send it separately or is there another way to get text notifications? Not a huge deal but I just had no idea it existed until after I read on it here.

From what I have seen, the G-1145 is inconsistent.

What do you mean? They don't always send out notifications? In that case it's pretty useless.

That is affirmative.  I've seen numerous comments complaining about it.... although I don't know how widespread it is.

Oh well, it doesn't matter much anyway. If it's that inconsistent then I am not going to bother.

If you forgot, there isn't anything you can do. Not a big deal.

This can be down to carrier blocking text messages from USCIS by mistaking them for being scam messages. Also could be on USCIS side down. Generally the messages have expiration and number of retries. If retries are none and expiration is short, somebody with weak cellphone connection is going to miss it.

 

To original question: you cannot send it now.

You cannot add if afterward, like others already said.

 

However, you can keep track of your payment method to see if they have taken your payment. Once they have, you could go to the USCIS website and ask through "Emma" if they can give you a case number.

I have seen this done before, so it is possible. Otherwise, it's just waiting for paper NOA1.

Oh I already have all that. I was just wondering if I could still get notifications in case of RFE etc. Now I just log into USCIS regularly to check.

Ah, sorry I didn't realize you already had your NOA1.

 

Regarding notifications of RFE and such:
If your case number starts with "IOE09", you will receive an additional notice from USCIS with an "Online Activation Code". You can enter this code on your "MyUSCIS"-account, to add your case(s) to the account.

Then you will receive notifications in your e-mail when an "Action has been taken" on your case. This could be an RFE, approval, denial, etc.

Sometimes, however, the e-mail is sent out by USCIS but there isn't actually a status change. Sometimes the status changes one or two days later, sometimes it doesn't change at all because it was just a behind-the-scenes update.

 

Other than USCIS's own system, there are third-party apps for smartphones and such. For those, it is probably best you try and find them yourself, as I don't know if I am allowed to refer to them here.

I had no idea! Thanks, that's extremely helpful!
