403 Forbidden

[bigboy007]

Does any one tried accessing USCIS case status online webpage while doing so it replied back to me saying "403 Forbidden" generally for any blocked IP's i emailed USCIS webmaster requesting why it was so as i could see my case status online a day back. Any one in same shoes? I am not worried and i feel there is no reason to get worried as most of security issues are due to false positives. IF any one in the same shoes lemme know your views.

The USCIS Webmaster has returned to work. His EAD must have expired on Friday hence the site must have gone down, but the new one is approved and hence the site is up.
