LUD - Do not play around, if LUD Message & Date is NOT updated/changed..

If you have created portfolio using - https://egov.immigration.gov/
for your receipts# of I-140/I-485/I-765 or I-131 and if you noticed that there is NO change in Date or earlier Message for your receipt# Then do not click on "Receipt Number" hyperlink.

If you click on hyperlink - "Receipt Number" and IF there is NO CHANGE in Date or message for your case then you will get following message:

It was reported to us that your IP address or internet gateway has been locked out for a select period of time. This is due to an unusually high rate of use. In order to avoid this issue please take this opportunity to create a Customer account (single applicant) or a Representative account (representing many individuals, such as lawyers, charitable groups, or corporations). Each account allows you to generate a Portfolio of receipt numbers.

Building a portfolio containing your receipt number(s) eliminates your need to manually enter the receipt number and extract each case status. You will automatically be emailed changes to each case as updates occur. This email notification will occur within 12 to 24 hours of any progress made for every receipt number contained in your portfolio.There is no lockout feature associated with your portfolio and there is no wasted time on your part checking a receipt number where no advancement has been made.

I don't think one or two clicks is "unusually high rate".
The problem is probably that you have a corporate
or ISP proxy, so requests from many people
appear to INS as coming from single IP address
(as opposite to one IP per user).

If there are too many of you accessing INS, or
someone runs a scanner that reads hundreds of cases,
this shared IP address gets blocked and you get this error.
