Hey guys, good morning, not sure but when I logged into https://my.uscis.gov/account/applicant, I saw this under case history:

 

"Invalid date Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Emailed", has anyone else seen this

I agree with the other VJ'ers--the USCIS case status page is currently down so it's probably related.

Sent uscis an email on the 9th of November asking for the status of my biometrics appointment.  they replied today by scheduling me for one the end of December. I guess they won’t reuse my previous information that was only taken a year ago.

Happened same thing to me, but my old biometrics were within the 12 month period only. Seems like they don’t have any process around it, if we are requesting via email/website I think they are just sending out the new biometrics appointments without even looking for old biometrics reusage.

Oh pro tip make sure you don't have any travel booked in the next six weeks because USCIS will find out and book your appointment during that travel. LOL My appointment is now smack bang in the middle of a trip to Florida I have for Christmas break. I will need to go beg them to let me in earlier to complete my appointment.

I got a notice for my biometrics reuse and around a month later a letter saying that they scheduled my interview. Hope you'll hear something soon! :)

I have a question about the Civics test if anyone knows..

 

Many questions has multiple answers. But only some questions says "mention one thing" or "mention two things" (from the list of answers).

So, if the questions doesn't specify how many I need to answer, does that mean I need to mention ALL of them?

---

I found another document saying "Pass: Provides an alternative phrasing of the correct answer". Which leads me to believe I only have to mention one 🤔

But I still want to be sure. Anyone knows?

 

I screenshot the examples below, hopefully the pictures aren't blurry. 🙂

Friend from Phoenix AZ (may 2020) filer had interview in Nov and oath next week.

 

Meanwhile my Brooklyn office still hasn't updated anything for my case after initial letter. Not even biometrics.

 

Not really a fan of huge discrepancies in processing times between cities like this. Wish they load balanced like most modern processes.
