Ye i think it's kind of unusual forwarding the case after RFE to the local office,maybe the plan was initially an interview,but they were satisfied with the evidence.That's all i can think of.any ideas or advice?

I got exactly the same letter from the Boston office last year when I was approved. I did not have any RFE but the letter is from Boston not Vermont.

Congratulations on your approval!

I hadn't heard of this before but I don't think it's a scam. Congrats on your approval...hopefully the card comes in the mail quickly!

Congrats. Stop worrying and enjoy the moment.

I agree with JG - enjoy the fact that your application has been approved.

If you run a search on the name of the person who "signed" the approval notice, you may find that it is the VSC/CSC director (that was the case for my notice). The notice lists your local office and gives you the address, but the format is confusing. My guess is that it is confirmation that your application was approved, in case the card gets lost in the mail and you need to follow up.

Congratulations!

I had no problems getting my card, it arrived not long after I got the letter. Hope this helps to reassure you that it is a genuine letter and not a fake.

My approval letter came from the Hartford, CT district office. It was pretty similar to the example posted above and I had not heard from USCIS for many months post the biometrics. The GC arrived within two weeks. Check my timeline for exact dates. I wouldn't sweat it. Do agree that the letter does not look too official on the plain white paper without any watermarks or other features.
