Did you receive instructions from USCIS to sign up for the referenced account or this is the one you set up on your own? If it is the latter, there’s no USCIS # attached to that account.

Ok , i see It's the latter. So at what stage and under what circumstances does USCIS ask you to sign for the referenced account?

One of those instances would be when you file to petition someone. Following the receipt of the petition, USCIS sends an access code for creating an online account for monitoring the petition.
 
Hi @Sm1smom,

It's hard to have patients as the end of the fiscal year is approaching. I did a congressional inquiry as well, but it did not help. What else do you suggest at this point for me? Is visiting the USCIS field office advisable? If so, what are the processes for doing so? Thank you!

The FOs no longer allow walk-ins (unscheduled visits - an option which used to be available about 13 -14 years ago but got pulled off the table as applicants abusing and misusing the opportunity). So you can contact the customer service and see if they will be willing to schedule an INFOPASS appointment for you - this is hard to come by, but some have succeeded in getting this in the past.

You can also just pay your FO an unscheduled visit and attempt a walk-in - by explaining, pleading, cajoling, or even crying for the security guards while explaining your situation to see if they will be moved enough to allow you in (a few have had success doing this in the past also). Do keep us posted of the outcome if you attempt the walk-in.
 
Hello @Sm1smom,
I am also waiting for interview letter. My visa number was current in April. I did congressional inquiry and they said the case was assigned to an officer. A week later, when I contacted emma, they said they could not find any information in the system and asked to write inquiry for case status to vermont service center. I have u-visa application pending in vermont service center. I even wrote an inquiry and send the letter on July 10,2023. Still, I havent got any updates or any response from them. What could be the reason for this delay?

Your DV based AOS application is not with the Vermont service center, you need to make that clear when doing any follow-up to ensure you get some accurate response. Based on what you wrote above, I'm not sure where you sent the letter you wrote to. If you wrote the Vermont service center asking about your AOS application, you've basically wasted your time.

Do you still have a valid status, outside of the pending U-visa application, or that status has now expired?
 
Yes I do have valid status outside of U-visa application. When I ask emma about my case status, they always say to write inquiry to vermont service center for my case status. Before congressional inquiry, they used to say my case is processing normally in Dallas field office but after the inquiry, they said to sent write an inquiry to vermont center.
 
Hi Mom,
We did our biometrics on early May, and did the congressional inquiry about two weeks ago, after nothing changed in the case status. Today we received an update from the congress office, saying that our case is pending at the FO and all the DV applicants in our FO are scheduled for the August 11 interview, and but we have not received our IL yet, nor the case status has been updated online. Could you please suggest on what we should do from here?

Thank you

More pertinent information is required in order for me to have a better insight into your case and respond to your questions accordingly. Please add your case data to the Timeline spreadsheet.
 
No I haven't mixed up anything. I even don't remember the u visa receipt number. I used the receipt number that was provided after I filed i-485. Whenever I inquire my wife's receipt number, they say her case is at Dallas field office and mine is what is shown above.
