Seems like USCIS website and app are now working again!

did you get an update online? If so was it a same day update, meaning they approved you today and today you got the update? Or when you check the website does it say that you were approved a few days ago and they are now just telling you? I am just wondering how much the delay is between the online and app updates and when they actually approve the case.

ROC

No it's just that for the last 3/4 days, it said that my receipt numbers weren't associated with any case. And now I can check my cases again. The last update I received was when I received my EAD card, and the online status changed the same day I received the actual card.

So I got a notice from USCIS today that our interview was canceled. I'm so upset, but mostly pissed off about this whole situation. They gave us a date and less than a week later they cancel it. Now I'm really confused and frustrated about how long it's gonna take for them to reschedule.

It's just like they gave us a hope that this whole waiting game and process will be over soon and than they took it away. So mad at USCIS :(

THis happens if your local office is extremely back logged and they are doing restructuring or may be there is an event happening at the local office like an "office party", on your interview day and they would not be able to see you. Schedule an info pass, and talk to someone to make sure this is not some kind of a error. Or you can just plan to show up on the original interview date. The worst they could do is turn you away. There are some threads in this forum of people's interview being cancelled for I unspecified reasons. From what I hear, it does not take too long to reschedule your interview. It would only be delayed by a few weeks. However, I know it must be so difficult, getting your interview date cancelled. Hang in there...this process is very stressful.

My day 75 passed while we were on vacation (June 10th), so I got around to filing a service request and then contacting my Senator on Tuesday of this week (June 16th). I didn't get any notifications, but I just checked online and it shows my EAD as having been shipped!

I'm so excited as my current job (on an H1B) is ending on June 30th so this will allow me to get another job with minimal hassle - yay! (I only found out about my job a few weeks ago so this last month or so has been *super* stressful.

I'm now not that worried time-wise about the interview as, as long as I can work, it doesn't matter as much to me about the how soon I can be a perm res!

Congrats to everyone who has had movement on their case and for everyone else - hold tight - I'm sure good news is coming your way soon!
