I received this update 22 days after I was scheduled for an interview. Has anyone here had this same update? Does anyone know what that means? “On August 19, 2023, we sent you a duplicate notice about a decision on your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number LIN**********, or describing how we will process the case if it is still pending. Your case is located at our National Benefits Center location. Please follow any instructions in the notice.
