Golden Tip
🔍 How to Use the JSON Trick on USCIS Case Status This only works in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge (since they both use Chromium). Step 1: Open Your Case • Go to the official USCIS case status page. • Enter your receipt number and hit search. Step 2: Open Developer Tools • On Windows: Press CTRL + SHIFT + I. • On Mac: Press CMD + OPTION + I. This opens the Developer Tools panel. Step 3: Find the Network Data • In the panel, click the Network tab. • Refresh the page (F5). • Look for a request called something like: case status/receipt number Step 4: Inspect the JSON • Click that request. • Go to the Preview or Response tab. • You’ll see the hidden JSON data — way more detailed than the public “Case is being processed” message. ⸻ 📊 What You’ll See in JSON • milestone_days_remaining → Countdown to the next action (interview, oath, etc.). • overall_days_remaining → Estimated overall time left. • action_code → Internal shorthand: • FTA0 = File is in queue, waiting for action. • XFER = Case transferred to another office. • SCHD = Scheduling in progress. • statusCode / milestone_code → Tracks each major step (biometrics, interview, oath).

Approved I-360. Denial I-485
my 485 was denied because allegedly I didn't show up on interview. I didn't receive any mail about scheduled interview. Neither my case online says any information about interview. I did called to USCIS after I received denial notice. They told me they don't see any interview was ever scheduled. and they told me, immigration officer will call me. it's been a month and no calls. I did fille 290b. but no receipt yet! I understand it’s pretty much USCIS error, but I’m wondering if I get pulled over and they for sure will send me to detention? and deport? does anyone have any suggestion what should I do? I plan to leave US next month and apply through counselor process. does anyone knows how this works? and what a success rate? I also have approved work permits and advanced parole based on 485. if they approve 290b, can I enter US with advance parole, if I leave now? or this 485 is done pretty much? and I should start all over again and better outside of US?
