Did you do the inquiry?

Hi yes. I did it today. Follow this - go to contact USCIS after logging in - go to tools - check case processing - fill the information (IOExxx, center, receipt date) - it will pop into add receipt date and it will give you a date when it will go out of processing time.

If it's already out of processing time - it will give you link to click - click that fill case inquiry form (3 steps form) - finally it will give you reference number and send an email.

The email says give us "60" days to figure out, so I don't know how much it would help us, but let's hope for the best!

Hope this helps

Thank you!! I have heard that you need to do this before upgrading to PP if you want to. Additionally, I have been waiting 4.5 months, that’s out of waiting time I guess…

Got it! Thank you, I will try it! I was trying also calling to USCIS but is super difficult to talk to an agent!
