Hi @Sm1smom, i know i have to practice some patience in this process and i won't call or anything else until july 27, that was the date the tier 2 rep told me by phone my FO contact me or something.. But, in your experience what could that administrative error means? Certainly, the word error doesn't sounds good to me in this particular case.

Didn’t you say a service request was submitted on your behalf yesterday? Is the referral number you see online different from what you were given? If they’re the same, then that simply means administrative error is the code the rep used in submitting your service request.

Thanks for this update. Will take a look shortly.
Hi, for what kind of previous applications were those biometric taken?

Spreadsheet restored. Access revoked for the person (you know yourself) responsible for the mess created on it.

Hey everyone,
I had my interview today so I thought I would give an update.
I arrived 15 mins before my appointment and after checking in at the front, was taken through security and into the waiting room. The interview was on time and I was taken back into an office. It was a normal looking office like any other business set up. The officer asked me for all my forms of ID and I handed over my passport, EAD's, Driver's License and Birth Certificate. He then went through the I-485 form and asked me every question. I had brought in a copy so followed along answering his questions. We did have to edit the end date of my job and add a new job as that had changed since I had filed the application.
After we finished the form, I signed it to confirm the changes he had made.
He then printed off a Notice of Interview Results form and handed it to me. There were three options on the form and he marked the first one which said, "Your case is being held for review...". He said that the next steps would be for him to contact KCC to request them to release a visa for me. He said he was aware of the September deadline for DV Lottery and that he was personally dealing with all of the DV applications at that center. He said that he could not estimate a time that I would hear from them but if I don't receive anything before September 1st, to contact USCIS.
Once I had left the building, my online status changed from 'Fingerprints...' to 'Interview was completed and my case must be reviewed'. Not too sure what this means but I will keep everyone updated when I hear anything further.

just keep calling back and request again the same thing. some agents won't do it, some others will, I guess it is a matter of luck on which agent picks up the phone.
Thank you for your advice. That's what I guessed.
Did you do the same thing, I mean calling them multiple times?
If I call them multiple times a day will they flag my phone number?

So the first time I called and asked for a service request the agent told me that she couldn't do it because the system was down and I should call again another time. Second a different agent picked up the phone and she told me that she was not able to do it because my case did not exceed the normal processing time, so I tried a third time and this was my lucky one, the lady put the service request and gave me a confirmation number. This happened yesterday and I haven't gotten any updates since then..
I don't know if they can flag your phone, I doubt it though.

Hi, a question about 2NL from KCC.
I received this letter and $330 recipes by email not mail this year.
Is this the 2NL ?(please see attached file)
(I already print it out and sent with my I-485 package, but didn’t get anything update, I do have concern is there anything wrong?)
Thank you

Thank you!
Hi,
I just called USCIS and talked to tier-1 representative. I guess she was the one I talked to yesterday. She accepted to make a service request for me and gave me a reference number. But when I am checking it on my account right now I cannot find the request. Will it appear later?
Can tier-1 representatives make a service request?

I also called today. The lady was very kind, she told me that my case is at the Los Angeles FO already, but wasn’t willing to make a service request since I do not fall under any of the categories for expedite processing. Even though I mentioned couple of times that DV is time sensitive etc..., she asked me if I fall under any of the categories for an e-request (which I did not) and told me I have to wait. And lastly she said that the LA ASC’s will reopen on the 27th, after which notices for bio appointments will be sent and for now there haven’t been any bio notices sent in my area (not sure how true that is).
Will try again tomorrow.

Sure, you can check on https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/uscis-office-closings and see that indeed all LA area ASCs are due to open 7/27. From other posts i don’t recall anyone getting bio notices before their ASCs opened so I would tend to think she was being factual.

The Los Angeles ASC reopened on the 20th, unfortunately based on my zip code I’m assigned to another ASC in La Brea which is a couple of miles away from the opened one in downtown. Will wait patiently!
