Without an additional charge? that's amazing
I hope I can convince doctor to do the same thing. I will definitely resubmit if I don't receive anything by Jun 22.

They will charge small amount; but I am now convinced it will be worth for better sleep at least :)

Hi All,

I had my interview on Jun-8-2021

Field Office: Hartford, CT.

I arrived on time at 10:15, after waiting 1 hour I heard my name. She starts asking from I-485 my name, address, etc… she asked what I am doing now, I told her I just graduate from school then she asked me if I applied for OPT, my answer was no. Besides that, she told me if my application here gets denied what you want to do, I told her I still have time to apply for OPT if the application gets denied. When we were done with form i-485 she needs to take a picture and fingerprints but unfortunately, the system was down. She said to me, I will send you another notice to come back to do it.

Thanks for sharing your experience,could you provide us with your timeline...
 
Hello! When I realized I won the lottery I call an attorney. He told me that may case number was high (DV20212XX); also, he said that when the bulletin appeared CURRENT in that moment I will organize my documents. So, in Jun 2021 it was CURRENT. But I didn’t know that I had to pay $330 to the US Department of State. I have a F1 visa with my dependents (f2). I sent the money orders in May 27, but until now I haven’t received the notice back to proceed to send my documents. Do you know how long it take? My case is adjustment status. I am afraid that I haven’t enough time. I guess the first attorney didn’t give the correct instructions.

Thank you for your response. For some reason I could not reply directly to the post. All NOAs were correct with specifying I-485. We will contact USCIS for peace of mind. Thanks again.

Hi Mom,

Update - spoke to USCIS agent this morning and she confirmed that 4 all are registered as I-485 applications (with no other applications in the system) and they are all correct from what she could see on her system. She assured me the NOAs are correct and couldn't explain why the online system was incorrect.

Peace of mind - positive!

Thank you! :):):)

I saw one in the timeline who sent the package before getting the receipt and was accepted. the receipt needs one month on average to arrive.

Check timeline tab on the spreadsheet. Start doing medical and put your package together. Go through FAQ tab (to learn associated risk) and see if sending the package w/o the receipt is something you want to try.
 
Anyone else have their case status disappear in my.uscis.gov? When I log in, my case status is blank, and the case history just says "invalid date". Up until today it said "Fingerprint fee was received". The non-login egov site still shows the same status as before.

Hello Everyone,

I am a DV 2021 selectee and my case number has been current for the month of July, 2021. I sent my DV fee via USPS to the Department of State P.O. Box on 21st of May and I see that the check was cashed on 26th of May. However, today is 16th of June - almost 3weeks but I have not yet received the receipt. Could you please tell me how long does it normally take to get the receipt?

Also, I tried calling KCC and apparently, they don't take calls. I emailed them following their email guidelines. However, it's been weeks and I have not received a reply from them. Is there any other way to contact them and does it take this long for them to reply via email?

I appreciate your help. Thank you.

Kind Regards

It takes 3-4 weeks. Take a look at the spreadsheet on others' timeline.

People may use different types of SASE. Take that into account when checking the spreadsheet. What type of SASE have you used? Was it express or regular mail?

Currently, it is taking about a month at least to get the receipt back (I got it back in a month and I sent an overnight SASE) and about five or six weeks for KCC to email back

apparently there is no USCIS phone app and those are third party apps that pull info from USCIS website. i wasn't aware too until mom mentioned here.

Which is also the reason why your case status on the app does not update right away. I noticed that when I was waiting for the tracking number for my green card. I could see it on myuscis.com but the app still said "case approved."

I still don’t understand why you guys all allow a third party to link your case number with your phone information when the information is as easily available on the uscis website. Just bookmark the page on the browser on the phone.

USPS may have lost the NOA in this case. Contact USCIS to let them know about this. You can call or use the Online tool

Today, I called the USCIS and talked to an agent he said that not having the NOA should not be an issue as long as you have your receipt number. He also asked to submit an online request and they will respond within 30 days. I submitted my online inquiry today and I will be getting a response by July 8.
