Hmmmm. Interesting. What is this API of which you speak?

https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/IOE0924922XXX
Should have your receipt number as end of address. You have to have logged into myUSCIS recently for it to populate else you'll get an error. You can only look up your case numbers.

Only useful bit is 'last updated'. Rest won't tell you anything that myUSCIS doesn't

I've been following this thread for a while now and although we initially filed in March not sure if we're considered March filers or June so I'll post in both.

We initially filed in March 25th but they only accepted the vaccine waiver I-601 and rejected our case because of an error on their side (USCIS mistake)

Resent everything back in April and got rejected again because of wrong payment (still had to pay over 1k more for THEIR mistake)

Eventually resent everything back again in June and they accepted our case.

 

 

3/22    AOS Initial Application Sent

4/17    NOA for I-601
6/21    AOS Final Application Sent 

6/27    NOA for I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765
7/05   Biometrics Scheduled
7/16    Biometrics Done (Went 2 weeks earlier)
7/17    EAD Approved

 

Hopefully everything will move as quickly as the EAD, especially after all the hiccups with the initial application. Also, wondering if anyone else had this experience of USCIS "mistake"? Our lawyer said they had a lot of cases rejected like ours for an error USCIS made and we're assuming they were just trying to get more money from people since they changed the fees in April?

what was error on their side?

They initially rejected the case because they said they were missing a page. However they were not missing any pages and we had the proof because USCIS puts a stamp on every page received and when our lawyer got the package back they could see we sent everything and they received everything. Our lawyer said they also never had as many cases rejected as right now so our theory is they're just trying to get more money from people. I was just reading in February forum that someone was rejected the EAD and AP because they didn't submit a fee. The fee was established in April... these people submitted their files in February... weird! But they know at the end of the day we need them so we'll pay anyway.

Just received this denial notice for my I-131 AP. The mentioned I departed US without APD and funny thing is I never left US after filing my case.

 

Anyone else seen this kind of denial reason before?

This is crazy. Of course, who will spend hefty money to appeal this decision? So sad to see this.
