Case Closed
USCIS has administratively closed your case.
Cases may be closed due to withdrawal, abandonment, failure to respond to RFE, or administrative reasons. A closed case is not necessarily a denial, but it stops active processing. You may need to file a motion to reopen or submit a new application.
