Re: USCIS WEB SITE CLOSED
I never thought of that.
I did the As.
Found something else to fix. I don't suppose there's any kind of easy way to search for the links only, in the wiki?

Re: USCIS WEB SITE CLOSED
Under Immigrations, USCIS forms (http://britishexpats.com/wiki/Category:USCIS_Forms):
The DS forms work - all download nicely.
The G-325 doesn't.
The I-129 F works
The I-131 info takes you to the new page with forms and instructions
The I-131 form doesnt (I feel that this link can be removed)
I-485 - both links work fine.
I-864 works fine.
Here endeth my contribution

Re: USCIS WEB SITE CLOSED
I noticed the status page changed last week sometime. I checked my status at work on the old site, then when I got home it was the new one. https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard.do
Seems a bit better than the old one to me.

I suggest we wait a couple of days for them to catch up all the pages before we do any major surgery. Like Ray just noticed, the link now goes to the test page, but the test isn't working correctly yet.
It's much better than the last 'upgrade' at first lookie.

One Stop Shop
Today, Secretary Napolitano, USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas, and White House Chief Performance Officer Jeff Zients will be unveiling a new and improved USCIS website at USCIS’ headquarters.
Ninety days ago, President Obama called for new USCIS technology to improve transparency and efficiency in the immigration system. USCIS met the President’s directive by developing a re-designed and enhanced website, available in English and Spanish, to help customers navigate the immigration system more effectively. Essentially, the new USCIS website will be a “one-stop shop” for immigration information.
The new “My Case Status” function above allows customers to sign in with a receipt number, and check the status of their application. They will also be able to sign up for email and text alerts for the first time, to let them know what step of the process their application is in.
For example, the new USCIS.gov website includes a “Where to Start” tool that helps customers easily navigate the new site, a “My Case Status” tool that allows customers to check the status of their application via email and text message alerts, and a “National Dashboard” that provides national data on volumes and trends in the immigration system. We are also proud to introduce a Spanish language version of our website, which is available at: www.uscis.gov/espanol.
Take a minute to check out the new site today and spread the word!
---------------------------
I don't get why they keep referring to the email alerts as 'new'.

Re: USCIS WEB SITE CLOSED
Erm, am I the only person whose case number is not being recognized on the status page? I'm copying and pasting an EACxxx number straight from the e-mail they sent me on Friday the 18th of Sept, but it's not being recognized...
