it drives my crazy I made an account on the USCIS website where I will receive an email or text regarding information updates but so far nothing and on my account it says that it was last updated November 15, 2012 so Im guessing they havent seen or looked at my paper work in a month while Im here going crazy! lol patience it is not a skill I pose or do very well with
