where are you in NC?

I am in Raleigh, NC.

My Receipt number starts with SSC* plus 9 numbers. Has anyone ever got this kind of weird receipt number ? I heard that they do not update the receipt tracking system accuratly anymore. Is that true?

Thanks

 

[washburn1]

my receipt number also has SSC* and then 9 digits.
why is it weird? what's a normal receipt # supposed to look like?
don't know much about the receipt tracking system ...hopefully some others will chime in...

 

[synn_r]

Mine says LIN*.... But looking at this tracker you can see the variations

Reference number for TSC (Texas Service Center) starts with SSC (Southern Service Center). Everyone who applied via TSC will have a reference number that starts with SSC.
That's correct, the online update system is not accurate nor up to date so if your reference number does not appear online don't panic.

Depending on what service center you applied at will determine your reference number. LIN is for Lincoln, Nebraska service center.

Thanks for your responses

knp had mentioned in another thread that he went over to the new DO last week and they told him they officially open for business April 28. Looks like you missed it by a few days

Hi, Everybody

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I have the impression that Charlotte moved back on the time line. It looks that they really want to target the 730 days. I drive by the DO very often and I haven't seen cars that indicate they are schedulling interviews past 4.30 pm neither on saturdays.

 

[washburn1]

showing April/2007
what...the.... ?

actually, what was it, before I freak out?

btw, there are threads indicating that other DOs also moved backwards this week.

 

[Bobsmyth]

Charlotte retrogressed to April 06 from May 12 from the March numbers.

[fbanna79]

I see it now. What a mess. I understand now why all the Charlotte NOA say 730 days. There is a serious mess out there.

 

[washburn1]

hmm... what can one do?
nothing but wait, hope, and not despair...
and of course be active in this forum.
...I still hope that the 730 days thing doesn't mean anything...

 

[Bobsmyth]

The 730 days is 2 years exactly..that's even more then the 13-15 month general time frame USCIS has for processing..so now we have 3 processing timelines..

NOA : 730 Days
General processing date from USICS: 13-15 months
Posted DO processing goals: April 6 (382 days)

Time to flip a coin..lets see if I have any loonies left

What do you guys think?

If I leave to my country in two weeks and stay there for 3 months and then I come back and remain in the US for two months and then I leave for another 3 months. Do you think that there should be a problem for my interview. I am not worried about receiving the mail because my wife will remain in the US.

I am sorry guys. I found several threads about this topic. I should be ok as long as I don't break continous residence.
