I've been reading about a lot of case where they receive notices through e-mail but I don't remember being asked for my or my husband's e-mail address in any form. How does this work?

payala, you need to register online here, https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp create a portfolio and add all receipt numbers to the portfolio and choose to be notified by email whenever your case status changes.

The bad news is that you can't add a case to a portfolio if you don't have a receipt number, e.g. cases filed with local DO. :rolleyes:

really? i dint know that. I was under the impression that any application filed with USCIS (irrespective of whether it is sent to DO, SC, NBC) has a receipt number attached with it and status can be tracked online using that receipt number :confused:
 
Anahit is right... in fact they have mentioned it on USCIS website in the Case-Status/Processing Dates FAQ and also in the Case Status (where it actually shows the status of your case) page. Here's what it says:

USCIS Case Status Page said:
Note: Case Status is available for Applications and Petitions which were filed at USCIS Service Centers. If you filed at a USCIS Local Office, your case status may not be reviewable online...

That is not true.
The message that you are reading is the one in front of the Case Status page, and must of us can see their cases at online status. Actually if your receipt start with MSC means Missouri Service Center which is in fact a service center. You can see perfectly (after awhile if you are new) your case there.
You can do your portfolio perfectly. In fact I did add my cases to a portfolio, one of the advantages is that you can see all your cases at once and just click to see the one that you want. And I check to receive emails. I received an email of confirmation after I signed up.

I agree with you Cherr. However, I would emphasize not to give much attention to the online case status. In my case, my EAD is approved but online status is still shows pending. I called USCIS and the automated system shows it as pending also. Talked to the CSR and she said that its pending. BUT, I do have my card in my hands. This scares me.
 
Oh yeah that is totally true. I received my EAD on Aug05 and since then nothing has changed and my interview is next Monday so...just to clarify in here you know...I made that portfolio long time ago hehehe :)

Oh is that right? Thanks for correcting me Cherr... but I don't think its only the receipt nos starting with <X>SC that can be tracked... I am able to track a recpt no starting with WAC.

I guess once we get the receipt no, its worth a try searching its status online, however, I agree that we can't bet our lives on the correctness of online status :)
