Delays in Issuance of USCIS Receipt Notices - August 2007 Posted Aug 10, 2007 ©MurthyDotCom The USCIS has advised that, as of August 3, 2007, they have received a substantially higher than normal volume of filings. This comes as no surprise, as it is most likely related to the July 2007 Visa Bulletin filings. The volume of cases has created a "front log" of cases awaiting initial data entry and issuance of receipt notices. The USCIS advises that the receipt notice delays will not impact eligibility for change of status or extension of status. Cases will be treated as received on their actual receipt dates, even if the receipt notice is delayed. The actual date that the filing was received at the USCIS (receipt date) will appear on the I-797 receipt notice, in addition to a later issuance of the receipt notice (notice date). ©MurthyDotCom Issuance of Receipt Notices at NSC and TSC ©MurthyDotCom The USCIS has published updates with information about receipt notices and the order in which they will be issued. As of August 3, 2007, the Nebraska Service Center (NSC) had issued receipts for employment-based I-485s, I-131s, and I-140s filed on or before July 1, 2007. (Although July 1, 2007, is a Sunday, that is the date that was given by the USCIS.) NSC is issuing receipts for I-765s filed on or before July 2, 2007. The Texas Service Center (TSC) is reporting that it is issuing receipts for employment-based I-485s, I-131, and I-765s filed on June 26, 2007. ©MurthyDotCom Murthy Law Firm Update and Suggestion ©MurthyDotCom The USCIS plans to provide weekly updates on its issuance of receipt notices. As of last week, the Murthy Law Firm had received some I-485 receipt notices dated July 2, 2007. Those awaiting receipts should also see if their filing fee checks have been cashed. This confirms that the case was accepted for processing. A receipt number of the file / case can be found on the back of the check. Copyright © 2007, MURTHY LAW FIRM. All Rights Reserved
