What time of day does USCIS update case status?

[blspicer 0]

Well, i was just wondering if anyone has noticed a specific time of day the USCIS updates the case status page? I thought if i could avoid checking it every 30 mins during the day that would be a little less stressful, if that's possible.

No set time, it is supposed to update when they touch your file (automatically) or if they issue you an NOA2 or RFE...

Sign up for auto email too as that will let you know when you get your NOA2, but you have to check online for touches.

Don't get addicted!

Also there are some that have already gotten the written notice and the computer had never been changed.

I was wondering what the latest time would be that there would be activity. I figured 5pm, but someone mentioned checking in the evening, too.

Just consider yourself lucky you are VSC! I just got my NOA2 yesterday and I've been waiting *somewhat* patiently for the past 2.5 months with no activity on my account!!

As for when they update, it appears to be somewhat sporadic. I know it can happen whenever they open your file, etc...but what kind of hours do these people hold! We got our NOA2 email at 4 AM (UK time), so 8PM California time. I know that is not THAT late...but who works at 8PM at night! I also know that some people have received touches and notifications on Sundays. So apparently it can happen 24/7.

Good Luck!

My friend's was updated around 11:00 pm, USCIS time.

It's a lovely thought that the USCIS folks never sleep. But maybe it's like my online banking....they actually do the work during business hours and it just takes the computer til midnight to actually show the changes. Maybe it's their server.

Just thought I'd chime in here about the wierd times and work hours. Keep in mind that when I worked there the "work from home" option was available for adjudicators. So, what you may have is someone who is working from home, dialing into the server and working thier cases for whatever reason on the weekends, strange hours etc... They may be trying to catch up, get ahead or getting ready to go on leave and want to get all thier work done. You also have people that work 4/10's meaning they work 4 10 hr days and have 3 days off.

Thats one explanation. Another would be that the contractor personnel work 24/7 and they may be moving your file around, staging it, routing it etc... and also card production I believe (don't quote me on this) worked 24/7 actualy turning out green cards and travel documents etc..

Hope that takes som eof the mystery out of it. Probably an adjudicator with insomnia
