I know this was strange to me too.I did file I-90 online!

However, today I received a bio metrics notice for it and THE SWAPPED NAME IS FIXED on the mail!! For some reason, the receipt notice still had the issue but it is at least fixed on the bio letter so hopefully it is going to be ok onwards.

Again, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!

Did the system not generate an immediate receipt online after the submission (which would have been with the correct name order)? Glad to know the bio notice showed up with the way you filed the I-90.

The system auto generated the receipt online immediately. However the receipt notice ( as a form of mail or PDF online) had the swapped name, which makes me think that for the receipt, they retrieved my name associated with A-number which was originated from my I-485 submission. ( I had to provide A number when filing I90)
They definitely did not retrieve my name from I-90 for the receipt notice lol might be good to know as a record.

I see. That’s what I wanted to confirm.

Head down to your FO TODAY!!!!
Cry, beg, cajole, cry a lot more if needed, when you get there. Explain your situation to the security guards, plead, plead and plead, for them to allow you in and speak with an IO. Go with all of your documents, including documents showing you will basically loose this opportunity if your interview does not happen on or before Sept. 30th. Be prepared, they may decide to interview you on the spot. If they do not allow you in today, repeat the process tomorrow, same thing the day after. You will need to be persistent, don’t wait until your scheduled Oct. 1st appointment.

I contacted my congressman's office and they said that they will contact USCIS and get back to me as soon as they have a response from them.

Today there was no update on my case status.

1-Do I have any other option to reach USCIS and find out what is going on with my case?
2-Can I directly call the FO?
3-Can I stop by at the FO and ask for any updates?

The main reason I am asking these questions is to find out if my second medical examination was accepted.
 
Hi Mom,

I have a quick question. My status changed to card is being produced on Friday and it's still the same. My friend's (same FO) got her new card is being produced on the same date and her status changed to case was approved today. Should I worry about that? I don't know which one should be before the end of fiscal year the update of "new card is being produced" or "case was approved" one. Thank you for your help.

You cross checked the form to confirm it was accurately filled out and you submitted in person, right? So all you need do is be patient for now, considering your Congressman’s office is also already following up on your behalf.

Will worrying cause the status to change? Just be patient!

Yes, to the best of my understanding. Sure, I will wait and see what the congressman's office does about it.

Thank you!

Hi Mom. I just received my interview notice in the mail for October 1st. I know I can't get benefits after sept 30th, what would you suggest me to do?

I wonder if this means they plan to continue with issuing visa's after Sep 30th? Doubt they would do such a glaring mistake.

Just patiently wait - these statuses are not super reliable, can go from "Case approved" to "finger prints taken", etc... The main point is that your case has been approved, so just relax and wait for your GC.

Sorry for bothering you again. Just asking for my own understanding. When I contacted Emma today, she told me your case was approved on September 24th (Friday). How is "case was approved update" that we are suppose to get on the website different than the initial approval that we got?

No, it does not mean they plan on issuing visas after Sept. 30th, USCIS does not have the discretion to do that. And yes, they can indeed make “such a glaring mistake”. It has happened before.

For what it’s worth, my case never changed to “case approved” and I got my card today

I don’t quite follow your question, which initial approval are you referring to vs case was approved update
 
@Sm1smom I need your opinion.
We had our interview on august 30th. But the IO never took pictures or fingerprint before , during , or after the interview . Was that a normal ? Did they change the process ? Just wanted to confirm as we thought IO may have forgot
