U.S. Website Gave False Approval to Green Card Applicants — Then Blamed Glitch and Took It Away

Jesse Miranda, a U.S. citizen, noticed that his wife's green card application appeared to be approved unexpectedly through the USCIS website. He verified the status via the agency's helpline and discovered the approval was a false notice caused by a system glitch. Multiple applicants, including those contacted by The Intercept, experienced similar issues where their I-130 forms were falsely marked as approved. The glitch led to widespread confusion and distress among applicants, with some still seeing incorrect statuses after the system reportedly went offline. USCIS has not yet commented on the issue.
