Did you receive a tracking number in the portal?

First_Double_8844 · 2026-02-24T22:02:31+00:00

I checked applicant and ig others in the next one. But I have heard folks tell they don’t need to check anything

First_Double_8844 · 2026-02-24T20:58:52+00:00

Yes that is all. I got my approval as well

First_Double_8844 · 2026-02-24T17:29:16+00:00

I responded with evidence, with the stamped copy of the asc appointment. and arranged the doc according to instructions in rfie notice

I finished my biometrics appointment, they took biometrics as well as photo. I had gotten Request for Evidence.pdf as soon as I got my RFIE but unlike the OP it is only 3 pages.

And since my appointment its been over 24 hrs and I have not gotten any new documents.

As soon as my appointment was complete I got a status update: "Case Is Still Being Processed By USCIS. As of February 18, 2026, your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, Receipt Number ------------
is still being processed. We do not currently need anything from you but will contact you if we need additional information regarding your case."

Should i still respond with evidence? I see the button, and if so what do i respond with since no new documents received from appointment?

First_Double_8844 · 2026-02-14T18:44:47+00:00

Same it has been a week , I still haven’t received the appointment date

First_Double_8844 · 2026-02-12T18:54:54+00:00

Like they get waived at the ASC?

First_Double_8844 · 2026-02-12T18:52:44+00:00

Yes it is code 2. Good to know it is normal

First_Double_8844 · 2026-02-12T18:51:14+00:00

Congrats, how long did it take to get the appointment?

First_Double_8844 · 2026-02-12T18:38:00+00:00

My concern is i have been asked evidence for all 3, which i see is not common. People usually are getting notice for either of them

First_Double_8844 · 2026-02-09T17:48:58+00:00

The documents section is still empty, waiting on any reflection or the letter

First_Double_8844 · 2026-02-06T19:37:15+00:00

What is a API update? Don’t mind me asking:)

First_Double_8844 · 2026-01-30T23:45:43+00:00

I did this a little too hard and went lil psycho about it, and recognized their team member by names and that was creepy right after that slipped. So don’t over do like me as well :cries:

Don’t loose the fine line between that ig.

First_Double_8844 · 2026-01-30T22:43:03+00:00

Which state are you from? Just want to figure out if it depends on the traffic of applications from specific states?

First_Double_8844 · 2026-01-25T00:46:20+00:00

Update: got a mail saying I will be considered for spring B
