has anyone else been calling USCIS for a service request, and been told they're having technical difficulties? We've been calling since Monday morning when they opened and keep being told the same thing. We called 8 times on Monday, and have called twice today and keep being told the same thing.

We called 8 times on Monday, from when they opened to when they closed and each time they told us they had technical difficulties. Called again twice today, and got told the same thing. So we STILL haven't had a request placed.

I'm not going to "chill out" seeing as I've been getting this answer, since Friday, every time I've called. And no, can't put in a request online, because the I-765 form is not an option to file an online request.

im still at the starting process for my spouse , he is still in his country! but I needed to put in a request due to them saying I was pending security checks 30 days ago...so on and so on... I hope he got through!! good luck on your journey!!

They still gave him the same answer :( and good luck on your journey too!

When you finally realize you can't rush the USCIS, your journey will become much easier. It took me a long time to realize that. If they are having technical difficulties and can't view cases, they can't tell you anything. There are no miracles at the USCIS. You have to relax an let the technical difficulties get fixed.

I'm not trying to rush them, just trying to put a request in. They can view my case just fine, just like I can online. The technical difficulties they're supposedly having is with just placing requests, but yet others on this site that called I the same days I did, had no issues placing one. So in all reality I will not chill out or relax, seeing as nothing seems to be said the same to everyone else as it is to me.
