# NOTE:
# You first need to get the current case status update hash by running
# $ curl -s -X POST -d "appReceiptNum=$uscis_case_id"  https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/mycasestatus.do | grep $uscis_case_id | grep $uscis_case_id > $tmp_file
# $ /usr/local/bin/md5sum $tmp_file | cut -d" " -f1
#
# Once you get the result hash result update the `last_cases_status_hash` variable
# so you have a value to compare and know when the latest case status hash is different and alert
# You will need to get the new hash value and update the last_cases_status_hash
# everytime your case gets update so you can alert on the next update.

# see above the NOTE to run the command and update this

# This is usually a 3 letter code followed by a 10 digit number
