Update - 2/2 - got my online access code via emma, and my schedule for biometrics (talking to uscis agents via emma is actually pretty nifty) ahead of the actual letter 2/3 - I797C green card extension letter received in mail (oddly this came first before the biometrics one) A part of my extension letter has a smudge/weirdly printed section - is that ok????

Update! 1/21 - i751 sent to Carol Stream, IL 1/22 - delivered 1/28 - had a chat with an agent via Emma and got my IOE/receipt number! A couple of hours after that I also got a text from USCIS mentioning ‘case received.’ 1/30 - check encashed 1/31 - via uscis case tracker, status changed to Biometrics Scheduled Still don’t have access to myUSCIS account, i checked the one i created (but didnt put in the application cause of missing acct #), hoping it would just magically appear there, but nothing

Update! 1/28 (4 days after packet was delivered to Carol Stream, IL) - had a chat with an agent via Emma and got my IOE/receipt number! A couple of hours after that I also got a text from USCIS mentioning ‘case received.’ We tried binding the case to my husband’s old USCIS account (the one we used for CR1 process) but it leads to an error page that says ‘this case is already assigned to an account’ or something. I messaged an agent via Emma again and the agent basically told me that it has to be tied to MY account, and that no Online Access Code (OAS) is available to me yet (i have a USCIS account but forgot/have no OAS) - I have to wait for the actual paper receipt.

We sent our i751 package on 1/22 and got delivered at the Carol Stream lockbox on 1/23. I saw some filers getting their receipts/extension letters early via the MyUSCIS platform, but we lost our account # and didn’t fill in that part in the i751 form, even if we have an account we can currently access. Now I’m worried that i might only receive anything after 4-8 weeks via snail mail, and my green card is expiring mid march! From what I’ve read, USCIS texting / emailing is pretty inconsistent too. (We sent in a G-1145 in the package) is there a way to track an existing application, without the application number on hand, independent of any USCIS notice / texts or email? I was thinking of using the ‘verify your identity’ tool to maybe link my a-number and it would automatically all linked cases attached to my number, but the tool is no longer available. Help please!

im so worried that they might not send a text or an email! And i’ll be left wondering what happened to my case. If the only correspondence they’ll ever do is via paper, it’ll take 4-8 weeks before i know anything - and my green card is ‘expiring’ in 8 weeks

Adding us to the list - 1/21 - i751 sent to Carol Stream, IL 1/22 - delivered (were we supposed to receive an update that says its been picked up by somebody?) no texts (even if we attached a G-1145), no updates by email, and reading all the mini updates people are getting from uscis makes me a little paranoid! We did not input any USCIS acct # because we couldn’t find our old one. Does this mean we’ll only receive correspondence by mail?

Hi Mary, did you submit an I-864EZ during the NVC stage? And was it accepted? We filled up the I-864EZ as well but just uploaded an updated one on additional docs because there are some changes. Interview's on Monday too March 6

Hi Mary I'm in the same boat. I've requested for them to reopen it via support@ustraveldocs several times but they still havent done anything about it
