My 485 case number started giving me " User-Defined Error " message since 4/10/2018 on uscis.gov website, myaccount website works fine . I called USCIS last week and they scheduled a callback in 3-5 days. No reply. Called again today and scheduled a call back from system in about 5 hours.

IS that error message when people get scheduled for an interview?

Yes, thats the same thing happened to my 485. My pd was 1/29. My interview is on the 7th May.

Hi guys,

I?ve been following this thread because we filed for i-130, I485, I-765, and I-131. Today I got my initial interview and my appointment date is May 21. My timeline is:

January 27 submitted papers through USPS
January 29 USCIS received my forms (my priority date is also January 29)
February 10 received appointment for biometrics
February 28 biometrics done
April 17 received initial appointment letter scheduled for May 21

I didn?t receive any update through mail or texts. My online account still says case received.
I?ll update you guys on any other changes.

God bless us all!!!

Well, if they approve the GC on the spot, or in the following days, we no longer need to wait for EAD/AP. GC satisfies both those needs.
When we go for the interview though, I will ask the officer as to why this was scheduled so quick, given today's trends.

They're probably realizing that it makes business sense to skip EAD/AP and go straight to interviews. Reallocate that manpower at the service centers to pre-adjudicate cases for field offices. It's just about the only way they will be able to keep up with the already huge backlog and the new interview requirement for all employment based AOS petitions.

I cannot access to the 485 from March 26th

Hi, I am in Pittsburgh. I cannot access to 485 since March 26th too!

Geeze, hope it is in the line for interview. I am so worried!

My Timeline (married to USC)
- January 28th, sent packet to USCIS
- January 29th, USCIS received the documents / PD
- February 6th, NOAs on the receipt
- February 16th, Biometric schedule received
- February 28th, Biometrics done
- March 26th, i485 not accessible already. Never raised an SR as I read on this forum that some glitch OR after they talked to an L2 officer, they are advised that its already in line for interview. Other cases can still be accessed with the same status - ?case received?
- April 7th, Letter received for initial interview for May 7th. Notice date is April 2nd.

Total of 2 months and 9 days. To God be the Glory! FO is Chicago.

Hi guys,
I'm new here, I'm Jan filler as well.
PD 01/09
Bio 02/09
Ever since, I received no online update.
I guess it might happen like Omo or perhaps not. Any PDX filler in the house?

I cant access it since 03/29
I called to USCIS and the immigration officer level 2 told me to send a email to uscissupport@uscis.dhs.gov
I asked about my case status and he said the interview is ready to be scheduled.

For those that are getting interviews scheduled, did your case already pass through NSC National Service Center and arrive at your local USCIS office?

My case was transferred to NSC a while ago but no news after that.

How would I check that? I haven't heard anything since they received my RFIE response on March 8 (case no longer on hold).
