Application and Petition ReceiptsU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) advises customers that, due to a tremendous increase in the number of applications filed, processing of fee payments and entry of cases into our tracking system is behind schedule. As a result, applicants can expect notices of receipt to be delayed. USCIS is working hard to deal with the increased volume. Delay in fee processing and data entry will not affect an applicant’s Change of Status or Extension of Stay eligibility if all other eligibility requirements are met. USCIS continues to process Premium Processing Service requests within 15 days. USCIS will honor the actual date that an application was received in our mailroom; this date will be indicated on the receipt (in the Received Date box) when Form I-797, Notice of Action, is mailed. Until this situation is resolved, USCIS will provide these weekly updates on progress in issuing receipt notices to our customers. We appreciate your understanding. As of this date, USCIS has completed data entry and issued receipt notices for applications and petitions received on or before the dates indicated: California Service Center Form # Date Received N-400 07/23/07 Nebraska Service Center Form # Date Received I-131 07/24/07 I-140 07/24/07 I-485 Empl-Based 07/24/07 I-765 07/24/07 N-400 07/24/07 All other 08/05/07 Texas Service Center Form # Date Received I-131 06/30/07 I-140 08/13/07 I-485 Empl-Based 06/30/07 I-765 06/30/07 N-400 07/15/07 All other 08/16/07 Vermont Service Center Form # Date Received I-131 07/24/07 I-140 07/24/07 I-485 Empl-Based 07/24/07 I-765 07/24/07 N-400 07/24/07 All other 08/05/07 USCIS Lockbox Form # Date Received I-485 Empl-Based 07/29/07 I-130 07/29/07 I-131 07/29/07 I-765 07/29/07 |
