A technical glitch on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website resulted in numerous applicants receiving false approval notices for their green card applications. Jesse Miranda, a U.S. citizen who sponsored his wife’s green card application, discovered the issue when he checked the application status after seeing a post on Reddit about sudden approvals. Upon contacting USCIS, he learned that the approval was not valid and that the agency was aware of the glitch affecting multiple applicants. Similar reports emerged from other individuals who experienced the same false notifications, leading to confusion and disappointment among those awaiting approval for their I-130 forms, which are necessary for relatives of U.S. citizens to obtain permanent residency. The glitch reportedly caused a temporary disruption on the USCIS website, and many applicants expressed their frustration on immigration forums. The average wait time for I-130 approval typically ranges from 10 to 20 months, often extending beyond two years.
