Another update in my case: I received a letter from the USCIS today with my case number. 11 days after the DoS sent a recommendation to the USCIS.

Hi, did the receipt notice arrive by a first class usps mail? I have mail forwarding from usps and is wondering if it will be forwarded to my new address thanks..

Anyone can share when the "change of address" was reflected on the website with respect to DoS receiving the letter with the request.

 

I've submitted my "change of address" and the letter was received almost two weeks ago, however the web-site is silent about my request.

Hi, 

Did you send a hard copy via post or just filled up the online form regarding the change of address?

They marked the document as received on June 28th and I got FR on Sep 22nd. I already spoke with USCIS on the phone and through Emma live agent. They say I'm not in the system. And I sent DOS emails but they haven't replied. So, there's nothing I can do to find out.

Thank you for the details. All the best! Hope you get some answers soon!

Yes, it shows that they received the change of address. But since it's been more than 3 weeks and I haven't got any mail from either of them that makes me wonder if maybe there was a mistake on their part. And there is no way for me to know.

How many days did they take for the update of change of address in their website? Also, after how many days of address update did you get FR? 

Maybe Emma of USCIS can help about the receipt number?

I did, but I haven't received any mail from DOS or USCIS, I got FR on Sep 22nd. I wonder if they sent the documents to the initial address which I have no access to and worries me.

Did they update about change of address in their website? 

Did anyone change their address while case was pending in the DOS? Does changing address delay the waiver process further?

10 weeks for me too, and no update on the website yet. I am now concerned if my package was delivered at the right place. UPS tracking says "Delivered" at the building in MO on July 16, left at DOCK and signed by PATTERSON. Wasn't the package supposed to be left in a lockbox?

Mine got delivered July 15, signed by FRYE. Since, our packages reached on the same time, please let me know if you get an update in their website, will get an idea.

Anything yet? Its been 10 weeks for me, still no update. Very worried!

Anyone here sent their package after 15th July, 2021 to DOS and received an update? 

thanks!

So it took 12 days from receiving NOS to issuing FR, that's surprisingly fast! I haven't heard of any other application go that fast...

 

Yes indeed! but they sometimes  update late. Btw received the i797c -notice of action today. Still no hard copy from DOS, but I guess its not important anymore...

I got the 1797c notice of action letter from USCIS. It said they got the stuff from DOS on 8.13.20. Although DOS stated reco sent to uscis on 8.7.20

Cool... That means they are working on your request. How long did it take for you to receive the i797c?

Thanks a lot for the update. My DHS Application got an FR on August 7th.

Did you receive any letter from DOS or receipt from USCIS? My timeline is almost same but no hard copy received. 

Anyone who received favorable recommendation towards the beginning of August, 2020 got the letter from DOS or USCIS. Its been 15 days that DOS send the recommendation to USCIS but I received no acknowledgement or hard copy.

Hey, any update on your case on the DoS website? Or it still says nothing?

Nothing! Its still blank. Anyone else got any status update?

Hi all,

Anybody whose package reached in May to DOS  (J1 waiver 3rd stage) and got status updated in their website? It has been 5 weeks my package reached them but my application does not show up. I even called the bank where the cashier's check was issued. They said the check was not even cashed.
