USCIS Data Lost Rumor explained by AILA

April 4 2016 – The American Immigration Lawyers Association questioned USCIS on the rumors of data lost and this was their answer:

“In response to a rumor that the National Benefits Center (NBC) experienced a computer glitch which erased information on some applications, USCIS advised AILA that it recently modified the manner in which data is passed between systems, specifically between intake at the lockbox and the USCIS case processing system. That change resulted in some unexpected issues where data wasn’t successfully passed; however, there was no data lost. USCIS is in the process of reconciling the data and expects that this process will be completed by the end of next week.”

AILA also mentions that it will update its members as it gets more information on the matter. Should you be experiencing some issues on the case, please call us at 510 742 5887.
