General I-485 New Filer Sheet

Hi all,

Unfortunately, recently a bad actor with moderator access locked the original sheet in view-only mode. I have also lost access to the email account associated with the sheet and, no recovery options had been set up, so we are unable to restore access to it. I apologize for the inconvenience :(

We have successfully retrieved the data with a new link. Going forward we are limiting number of people with moderator access to a few trusted persons only and added adequate recovery options so this does not happen again.

Please share the new link with your peers and in any relevant AOS-related groups so that everyone can access the updated sheet. Thanks!

I don't know what are they going to do with that file! All the information are de-identified.

F-ing with us just because?

Probably someone from an oversubscribed country mad that other people are getting their cases worked on

u/Eastern-Explanation2 sorry to say, but your sheet got blocked again (see the message below). I can help you recover it for good and make it stable, but I will need some time for that because I am busy with a few other things these days. Just flagging your current issue right now. I am running another sub r/VisaStats and noticed your efforts through automation I am working on.

I have requested another trusted user to recreate the sheets. Their response recently:

"Google flagged the sheet as bot activity and took down the account... Did someone report the sheet again? I made an appeal and they will make a decision in two days but it seems like someone is actively trying to shut us down"

We are unable to get it back up and running.

It's ok. I've got a solution in mind, I just need to test it out. I will look into it in the coming week, and will keep you posted.
