USCIS Online Access Code
Good morning colleagues, I need help: I’m trying to set up my USCIS online account so that I can add my paper-filed I-140 petition to the account.
But the system tells me I need a uscis online access code - which I don’t have. Reading online, I understand uscis send this access code on a Form I-797C( Notice of Action), after receiving the paper-filed application for processing.
However the only document I received from USCIS is a Form I-797C (Receipt Notice). There’s no online access code on this form.
How do I get the online access code? Pls help.

Hi, USCIS doesn't send online access code for i140. you will only get the online access code after they receive your I485 (AOS). Keep checking the visa bulletin to know when your PD is current. until then, you can only wait. Best wishes

If you did not request it when you file i-140, that means you dont have the code. still you can apply for the code on uscis. i dont know how to do it, just search google, i know there should be a way.

Onua, USCIS does not allow I-140 petitions on the account. I am not sure where you saw that info about a code.

you will not able to add your I-140 in your account, I tryed last year when I submitted my application, I requested a access code andI received a letter from Potomac Service informed me that the some applications in paper- filed are not able to add to online, and I-140 is one of them. The only that you can do is check the status through Uscis portal " check your status"
with the receipt number!

many thanks you all for the great feedback. so the thing is, I was trying to change my address and I thought doing that through the USCIS online account is the best and quickest. other than that I don’t know how. can you pls advise how best I can inform USCIS of my address change? @Tee Tee @Stephen Anti @Guven Yurek @Gustavo Carmona

@Kofi K on the drop down menu of your USCIS account you will find change of address there . Alternatively, after running a status check using the Status Check, a link is provided that says “if you move let us know.” Click there and follow the instructions. Good luck

@SM A I’m unable to create the account because I don’t have the online access code
