Case Was Received
Case received, USCIS sent you a receipt notice.
What it means
USCIS has your filing and sent a receipt notice (Form I-797C) with your receipt number. This confirms the case exists in their system -- it is not a decision.
What happens next
Keep the receipt notice: its receipt number is how you track the case from now on.
Is this the status on your case?
Ask me. I'll walk you through what it means for you, with data from the cases I follow.
