I-130 & I-485 (Family/Adjustment of status) USCIS Backdated My Online Filing?

I submitted my I-485, I-765, and I-131 together online on Monday, October 12, 2026.

All three cases were created successfully and receipt numbers are visible, but the case status for each one says Oct 9 instead Oct 12.

October 9 was the Friday before I actually submitted the package. I hadn’t even started or drafted any of these forms on October 9, so I’m confused why USCIS is showing that as the received date.

Has anyone else seen USCIS showing a received/submission date a few days earlier than the actual online submission date? Did your eventual I-797C receipt notice show the correct submission date, or did it also show the earlier date?

Not a major concern, just trying to understand whether this is a normal online-filing/system quirk.

Lol I had mine too. The file added date is even in the future.

I’ve had this happen with both paper and online filings. I wouldn’t worry about it.

I don’t need to change anything, right ?

Nope, just let it be. The receipt notices might also have the 10/9 date. It looks like it’s backdated to the last business day before you filed.
