Hello, I usually will check our case status a few times a day using an app on my iPhone. When I woke up today my phone gave me a notification that my case status had changed to "" (which means blank). I tried logging on and using the online application but it says the connection was reset... I logged on to a VPN using IP addresses from multiple different countries and it was still down.

Is the case status tool down for you as well?

I'm worried because I follow about 20 different cases that are similar to mine using my mobile phone app (the app makes it easy to check all of them at once). I figure that if cases that are similar to mine are getting approved I can also expect mine to be approved soon as well. Could following and checking 20 different cases a few times a day set off any red flags? The information on the website is public am I right?
