Case Required USCIS To Send A Notice
For the past several days, USCIS has been assigning some cases a new status: “Case Required USCIS To Send A Notice.”
It has been confirmed that this status has appeared for different types of applications, including Forms I-485, I-131, and I-765.
At this point, it is still unclear exactly what this status means. Most likely, it does not indicate any significant change for the applicant. USCIS did not previously use this status.
One possible explanation is that USCIS may have been required to send applicants a separate notice, for example in connection with FBI fingerprint checks. However, this is only a theory at this point, and USCIS has not provided an official explanation.
This status definitely does not mean that the case has been approved, and it is not an interview notice.
The exact meaning of this new status will likely become clear soon. At this time, there is no reason to be concerned.
