Hey guys,

How long does it take for the case number to appear in the online system? My lawyer is telling me he sent in the application in late July, yet I don't see the case number in the system on the DOS website. I called the DOS in Washington to make sure, and they told me I am not in the system. I checked with my lawyer and he said that the check sent with the application cleared and I should just wait another couple of weeks.

From your experience, does it really take that long, over 2 months, for them to get the application put in their computer system, or did my lawyer mess something up?
 
Most cases are in the system online in 3-4 weeks, so check with your lawyer. If he applied online and sent in the rest of the stuff later, he should have the case number already.
