I think USCIS will be closed tomorrow and after tomorrow. Also I don't know whom you sent it, but if you sent it to the same address you sent your original AOS package as fast as I know they have to sign when they get mail if you send it via UPS or FedEx. And if they closed today there is no one to sign.

 

And I guess you didn't send via USPS, because USPS closed today as well. 

I sent it via Fedex to the field office we were supposed to appear in for the interview. I've read they are not accepting in person appointments on 01/19 and 01/20 but they might still be working on cases in a meantime. The worst case scenario they should retrieve my letter on Thursday, my main goal is have somebody see it before they send any no-show info to the national center.

I'm so sorry this happened - how infuriating after you kept checking. I am keeping fingers crossed for you first thing tomorrow. I imagine you will not be alone in missing an appointment and I hope they will work hard to help you

2. Open a case with USCIS Ombudsman https://www.dhs.gov/topic/cis-ombudsman .

If you do contact the Ombudsman via their form I recommend to select "I have received an action or decision that involves clear errors of fact or gross and obvious misapplication of the relevant law by USCIS." That reason gets the fastest response (I.e. about 2 weeks). The other listed reasons have backlogs before the Ombudsman office even reads them.
