Just got a text notice that USCIS is closing offices in Jan 19 & 20 https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/uscis-office-closings

 

We filed for AOS in Dec 2019 and have been waiting for the interview since Feb 2020. Finally got scheduled for January 19th and was so excited. Now I am just so bummed 😓

This affects all field offices and ASCs, so no biometrics on those days either.

I didn’t receive email or text, I login my USCIS account and saw the update. Is everyone got the same information? What does mean” if a decision is made”?
