September 2018 filers

[seattle2903]

Hi September filers,

I just joined, but I've been reading.

I received my NOA's. The receipt # for I130 works but the receipt # for I485 doesn't. Its nerve wrecking. I check everyday and nothing.

Also I have a question. I was married before and had interview in 2015. No response until reached out to senator in 2017. Intent to Deny received 2018 obtained through senator, but not mailed to me. Divorced 5/2018 and remarried 8/2018. I'm not worried about the intent because the marriage was 5 years. But I am waiting and wanting to know if I would have to do biometrics again or they would just jump to interview to be scheduled (ofcourse once there is no RFE)?

I'm just throwing questions out. Pretty nervous.

Same here. Received 4 receipt numbers, only 2 work. I?ve seen others reporting the same issue, so I guess it?s a widespread glitch. I?ve been worried too but after seeing that many others experienced the same, I?m fine. Hopefully they will solve it.

I don?t know what to say about the divorce part.

USCIS officers don?t like receiving applications? That?s their job. I personally don?t like Avvo. Most of the answers are half-assed and contain ?talk to a lawyer for further assistance?. I think you should wait for the NOAs and use those receipt numbers to apply for the EAD and AP. Once you submit an application, it cannot just be ?lost in the blackhole?.

EDIT: I am sorry for this stupid glitch with the question marks. I do not know what is happening with my keyboard.

Oh thank you I'm a bit more hopeful now.
I'm jealous with everyone here, my husband lost his checkbook and I didn't want to wait for him to order another one so we went a head and got 2 cashier's checks. No privilege of getting to see the checks cashed by USCIS for me.

We used cashier's checks. We try to minimize giving out our account numbers. I've been through identity theft and credit card fraud. Learned my lesson. You will get your update soon enough. Be patient.

There is a tools outage scheduled for Sunday. You will probably be able to look up your case receipt numbers then.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a tools outage? Is it like USCIS performing maintenance on their website?

Here you go.

https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/tools-outage

You may lose access to your accounts during a tools outage. If you look up cases on the case tracker app, cases will show as offline. Typically, right after the Tools Outage is finished, then you see the shower of interviews and status updates. It happens twice a month or so.

[seattle2903]

Even after the tools outage today, I still get the error when trying to track 2 of the receipt numbers. I also didn?t receive the NOAs in the mail yet.

[seattle2903]

Informed Delivery tells me that only 3 out of 4 NOAs are coming in today. The 2 receipt numbers still don't work.

Fun times.

Since you?re approaching the 30-day mark with no texts, emails or letters, I think you should do one last attempt at locating your package by calling USCIS. If they don?t know anything about it, maybe you should refile? It?s a pain to put the package together all over again but it?s easier than wasting more time. Just my 2 cents.

No, you have to do your footwork. God is busy! Don't you see how many of us are constantly bugging her/him/it oooommmm?

My package was delivered on 10/01 and I have yet received no notification of any type Should I be worried?
My biggest concern right now is our cashier's checks. So when I was at the bank to have those issued, the banker asked me who would the receiver be and I told her USCIS so she typed it on the checks and print them. Later that day I realized that it has to be to US Department of Homeland Security (yikes) so I wrote that next to the printed USCIS, so on my checks the receiver is USCIS (printed)-US Department of Homeland Security (hand written). I don't know if it's serious enough for them to send the whole package back but Im certainly worried
