Unable to Add My I-130 Case to USCIS Online Account – Need Advice
My lawyer filed an I-130 petition for my wife. I am currently in the United States, while my wife is outside the U.S.
I created a USCIS online account and tried to add my case so I could track it. However, every time I enter my family name (as the petitioner) and my date of birth, I receive a message saying that the information is incorrect. I do not have the Online Access Code either.
Am I missing something? Does anyone know how I can add my case to my USCIS account and track the petition status? Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

Your Lawyer has full
control over that information, if they do not provide it then you cannot access the portal. The only way you can see updates is if you add your case to this app and track it through here. subscribe to the monthly updates here and you can see the exact same thing that is being posted to USCIS. They pretty much update simultaneously.

request the online access code to be sent to your address. Or if it says the information is incorrect maybe the lawyer hasn’t filed it yet. Ask for the i130 receipt notice, on there you should see the receipt number and with that as of now, you can follow the case status online without needing to create an account. you just search for uscis case status.
