Bizarre Green Card RFE: Cancelled Before Notice?

A Green Card applicant in the United States is dealing with a strange and stressful update on their case. After waiting nearly 50 days post-interview, their online portal suddenly showed the status “Cancellation for an RFE,” leaving them confused and anxious.

Confusing Update After Interview

The applicant’s I-130 petition had already been approved just 25 days after the interview. During the interview, the officer even gave a verbal assurance of approval, which makes the sudden cancellation notice even harder to understand.

Others Report Similar Experiences

Many other Green Card applicants have reported similar experiences online. Some noticed that their USCIS portal briefly displayed an RFE (Request for Evidence) notice that disappeared within hours or days, leaving no explanation for what happened.

Possible Warning of a Physical RFE

According to one applicant, this “cancelled” RFE status might actually signal that a physical RFE letter is on its way. They shared their experience, saying the online update vanished just days before they received the RFE by mail.

Delayed Communication Adds to Uncertainty

Applicants say the confusion stems from inconsistent communication by USCIS. When online updates don’t match the actual case progress, people are left unsure whether to wait, contact USCIS, or take legal advice.

Need for Clearer USCIS Updates

This situation highlights the need for urgent improvement in USCIS’s digital case tracking system. Without accurate and timely updates, applicants will continue to face unnecessary stress and delays in their Green Card process.
