DV 2013 AOS Only

Yes, they mailed the card today! BTW guys, there is no mention of a tracking number? All the online notification says is:

"On January 31, 2013, we mailed the new card directly to the address we have on file. You should receive your new card within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283."
 
You will have the tracking number by the end of the day! Congratulations!!! :)

Case status not updated yet

In USCIS online tracking system, after entering receipt number, it appears like this...Your case can not be found at this time in My Case Status. Please check...bla bla bla. What does that mean. Our receipts starts from 'MSC'. We received NOA via email on 16th Jan and via mail on 19th Jan. But the current status still is not showing even acceptance status. What you guys suggest me for this..

Thanks.

MSC stands for Missouri Service Center which became the National Benefits Center but still uses MSC for the receipts. AFAIK all our applications are sent to NBC which then sends us a biometric appointment letter, and after that sends our stuff to our field offices. In your case, you should have seen your case in USCIS page; it is usually available by the time you receive the notification in mail. You can call the National Customer Service Center and ask them why it doesn't show in USCIS case status page. I'm sure it'll show up soon.
 
Congrats Kazore, for successful walk-in!!

I just saw it in the spreadsheet. Congrats! Please share the details with us. Can also anybody comment on why I'm on Interview phase without having a bio letter yet? As far as I can see, people get the bio letter in less than 10 days after NOA. I haven't gotten anything yet but it seems that I'm being scheduled for interview???
 
I suggest that you read previous posts several pages before this one! :)

This is normal, your case won't update until after you proceed with biometrics at least and in several cases until the interview has been done. Just be patient.

Probably. I guess as we get closer to September 30 they start speeding up cases.

This is 'the new normal'. Most of us experienced the "your case cannot be found at this time ..." phase. Relax, it's going to show up eventually.

Forget that, now it shows "Testing and Interview". I didn't even receive a bio letter yet ???

I think what what you're seeing is a glitch. Somebody once mentioned their case also showing up under the "Testing and Interview" stage in one of the previous posts on this thread. For most of us, the 5 stages under the "My Case Status" search are: "Acceptance", "Initial Review', "Decision", "Post Decision Activity" and "Card/Document Production". I'm not quite certain why "Testing and Interview" is showing up in your case, but I'm certain it will be rectified.

I'm guessing your Bio letter is already in the mail, you should probably receive it within the next couple of days.

Thanks for the detailed information. When I click on the check status button without entering anything, it shows nine stages. After I enter case number it shows six stages, five of them being what you listed, and then right in the middle of them the blue testing and interview :)

I sure hope so, it is just disheartening to still wait for the bio letter while everybody is getting it in a few days.
 
aos13,
What is your field office and ASC? I guess brooklyn ASC allows walk-in? I see someone else on the spreadsheet who had successful walk-in at Brooklyn, ny.

I'll update it in the spreadsheet. I've seen several walk-ins in a DV2011 spreadsheet posted early in this forum.
 
I heard it depends on the ASC, some do and others dont. I guess it depends on the people who work at these ASC's.

I have a question, can we go to a different ASC, not assigned to us? I read it somewhere that some people were allowed to do so.

I really don't think so. You can probably reschedule the appt for a different ASC but they'll give you a later date, loss of time.
