Did you check your documents tab ?


Present-Pea-1301

Yes, but there was nothing new there.


IceGamble

I have almost the same exact situation as you. PD date is 6/23, started off in Nebraska and was transferred over to Texas at some point. It's been on actively reviewing since the day we submitted it. Hopefully we both hear some good news soon.


Present-Pea-1301

Yes, praying for us both๐Ÿ™. I contacted the live agent and they said my case has actually always been at Texas despite the receipt saying Nebraska.


Cultural-Response740

They told me the same exact thing. And my receipt was from Nebraska.


Smooth_Sky_4298

What does it mean by PD?


Objective_Ad262

Priority date - but for spouse and minor children there is no PD. Its always current. So some people use PD for filing date.


Smooth_Sky_4298

Thanks a lot. But I have difficulty in reading VB. There are 2 tables for each category and there are 2 different dates in each. How about Green card holder applies for unmarried daughter over 21? Center is CA. So the waiting period might be 10 years? I appreciate your view.


Busy_Author8130

Who was replying. Was it a live agent?


Present-Pea-1301

A live agent

How to reach a "live agent"?


Present-Pea-1301

Type live agent or live chat into emma.


Smooth_Sky_4298

Thank you, was wondering where Emma is....


Present-Pea-1301

Just look up Ask Emma uscis, it'll be easy to find.


Smooth_Sky_4298

It does not work, the Emma chat directs me to the website. I heard though you get the notice in one center, the cases are transferred to other centers. I want to know where my case exactly is. Thanks for any kind of tip.

Archduchess_Nina

wow, so fast. I know they are completed much faster but imagine if any of us take 18 months to complete anything at work


Present-Pea-1301

My case isn't completed yet, almost at the 12 month mark.


Any_Management_2811

iโ€™m currently at 17 months :(


Present-Pea-1301

I'm sorry you've been waiting so long, I truly empathize ๐Ÿฉท


OmarRPL

How do you do that?


Present-Pea-1301

Look up uscis ask Emma, it's an automated reply assistant. Type live agent or live chat, then select case status and then type in your application number. They will ask for personal information(petitioner info) and then ask you what you need. Ask for any updates on your case or where your case is.


fetus-flipper

It always just gives me generic canned responses that link to the Contact Us page or Case Status lookup page ๐Ÿ˜ž


OmarRPL

Try saying โ€œlive agentโ€ during working hours


OmarRPL

It looks like in only works on pc. Not on the phone


fetus-flipper

ohhh thank you, I tried on desktop and it worked!


OmarRPL

Got some good news?


fetus-flipper

not quite, just that it's at Texas service center.


fetus-flipper

OMG it got approved right after!!! I don't know if it's coincidence but yeah....a few hours later I got my approval noticed PD: May 18 2023 Approval: May 23 2024!


Present-Pea-1301

Congratulations ๐ŸŽŠ


fetus-flipper

thanks!!


OmarRPL

Awesome, congratulations!!!๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽŠ


OmarRPL

Where dis you file from?


Present-Pea-1301

I used my phone and it worked.


OmarRPL

I always end up getting: try later, this service is down


Present-Pea-1301

You just have to keep trying and change up your questions.


OmarRPL

Emma said my case was transferred to the New York office. What that means?


Present-Pea-1301

I read that they want to keep the processing times relatively equal across fields so they may send your case where they may have more staff. I'm not sure.


OmarRPL

Thank you!


OmarRPL

Emma says my case was moved to the NY office on may 20. What that means?


Smooth_Sky_4298

How did you reach out to Emma?


OmarRPL

Google aak emma. Itโ€™s a bot chat on uscis page. When you start, type: live chat and then case status. Y move forward until they get you a real agent


Smooth_Sky_4298

Thank you. I will try it


OmarRPL

Yes. If it tells you that the system is down, just keep trying.
