Is anyone having issues with h1b receipt number showing that receipt number was not found when checking case status on uscis website?
Patience grasshopper...
Call them. They’ll sometimes give you another case number that works.
My HR asked me specifically to not contact USCIS directly as some unplanned activity on your application can make USCIS delay their processing further. They would see something has been done to your application (even if it's to query the receipt number), compare it with how much activity has happened on other application and then focus on other applications with lesser activity. Or something.
That’s the weirdest guideline I’ve ever heard of. In any case, my feeling is that even if there’s a system for “needy applicants” that flags USCIS systems in a way that directs them to focus on not-needy applicants, it wouldn’t be triggered by just one phone call. These mechanisms are usually designed for people who constantly worry about their status and call USCIS once or more a week to ask about their application and the current stage of approval it’s in.
Yeah same. But I noticed the last 2 digits which should be some number are marked XX on the portal.
There are two websites now… use the new one
can you share the link here?
This means your visa got picked up?
This new one is usually up to date https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov You have to create an account though to view status, history and to receive notification when they make updates.
Thanks for updated URL.
The website is not up to date these days. My wife’s petition says still Submitted, but we received the approval few months ago.
Hi - my receipt for h1b amend shows invalid not found on both old and new sites - any ideas?
You can expect a delay in updating uscis case status on their website. I have seen case approved and 797 mailed to the employer but the case status still shows old status.
