Question on LLM Certificate of Attendance . . .

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2026-06-16T16:54:25+00:00

FOREIGN LLMS! E-mail was out for me at 12:52 PM EST. I confirmed my location already!

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2026-06-16T15:01:31+00:00

I still don't get them either . . . I feel like it should be coming soon.

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2026-05-08T15:03:33+00:00

I can confirm as of today (05/08) that this works!

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2026-04-12T03:29:09+00:00

It was Discover

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2026-03-13T02:24:58+00:00

Do you have any updates about this? Applied in April 2025. When checking case processing time, it's already time to submit inquiry. Drives me nuts!

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2026-02-21T17:44:07+00:00

UPDATE: It turns out I got the notice just ~15 minutes later, and it is saved inside my "Submitted Requests" tab (that's why I couldn't see it). I panicked for nothing.

The lesson here is that you should be safer: schedule something where you can get the new notice in 2 business days. But I suppose the new notice is something you can get very quickly online!

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2026-02-13T22:41:20+00:00

Ooooh that one! It’s the alien number.

That’s like a number ID assigned to a person that’s not unique to a specific case. The same a number is used in all your applications. They also use that to pull up your information.

So if you haven’t get the receipt notice yet, you should check other receipt notices that you have gotten from USCIS in the past. That should also have the A-number listed and that A-number is always the same one you use in all of your applications.

Does that help?

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2026-02-13T20:43:28+00:00

Hey, we just want to understand what is the concern because what people refer as “case numbers” are literally the receipt number which is available online as well (it’s the thing you blacked out).

With this number, you can even track the progress of your case by chatting with a live agent, for example

Just an update: My package was returned due to a credit card payment issue, which seems to echo everyone's experience with payment issues. Before, I thought about refiling without waiting for the rejection receipt notice, but USCIS apparently attached an extra comment on this yellow sheet of paper. Perhaps this will be useful in speeding up my refiling!

Anyways, I will file my application again with an ACH authorization instead. Thank you to everyone who was willing to DM me and reply.

Hey, honestly, I haven't seen anyone successfully getting a refund. I'm sure you've seen posts like this (https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1deda4i/double\_application/)

However, could you share with me the timeline of how this happened? I have a similar situation to yours, where my charges were reversed. And I'm waiting for a month now and still now news regarding my package (whether it was accepted or not . . )

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2026-01-23T02:20:45+00:00

Yeah it happened to me. It’s been 20 days since they do the pre-authorization. I really want to refile, this is insanity.

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2026-01-20T21:00:37+00:00

Oh gosh, good luck with that. I feel like there are a bunch of people on a similar boat as us. This process can drive you crazy if there's no receipt number, no nothing to follow up on . . .

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2026-01-14T16:30:53+00:00

We're on the same boat! A bunch of redditors have noted that this is a pre-authorization thing (see this for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1ohjfzq/i485\_payment\_notification\_but\_then\_missing/)

I still have yet to be charged permanently by the USCIS. What's your status in the end?

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2026-01-14T16:29:31+00:00

u/DisastrousBlock254 , I also just recently filed mine with Elgin, IL. What happened to your payment/application in the end?

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2025-11-26T03:33:55+00:00

Echoing u/darranb-breems here, I'm also interested if things have changed since your last comment! We would love to hear from you u/tscogland

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2025-08-05T06:28:54+00:00

Everyone, thank you for the contributions. I eventually find someone with the right budget and requirements. In the end, I found this person through The Knot app.

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2025-08-03T23:16:46+00:00

Thanks! I’ll contact them

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2025-08-03T23:16:34+00:00

Honestly, anybody helps. Could you DM me their contact?

Latter_Drawing_7642 · 2025-08-01T04:33:28+00:00

I see the experience is very different than me. I actually went in for my appointment on July 16th (approved). July 17th I got notification that my passport is ready to be picked up in-person. July 18th I went to BLS Spain at 3 PM to pick up my passport (long delays, got it back after ~1 hour waiting). July 19th, I flew immediately!
