We sent the I-751 (2 day USPS) 3/3/09

Their system shows it was received 3/11/09

We never received the extension letter...

Sometime in April we got the biometrics appt.

4/22/09 Biometrics done.

...

Called the call center - where's the extension. They escalate to someone else as its outside of the timeframe.

The person tells me it can take a month after the biometrics before you get the extension; he says:

"Why would we give you the one year extensions before we run your finger prints with the FBI? Call back again in a month."

No, really, that's what he said...

Call back end of May. Again they escalate. The next person says "I don't know why you didn't get it - file an appointment with InfoPass."

6/1/09 - InfoPass appt. We're a little worried as we have a trip to Barcelona in a few weeks - would really like to be able to come back (ok, maybe not, Barcelona is a great city!)...

The guy looks at the computer for a bit. Scratches his head. Asks for the passport and tells us to take a seat.

He comes back... "Well I've given you a six month I-551. I doubt you'll ever use it. You were approved on May 30. You should receive your new card in around 30 days."

A few of odd things:

1) 5/30/09 is a Saturday. Well glad they were working OT on our 751 - I guess :)

2) The computer system still shows the case was received (no other update). No touches since 4/23/09.

3) 5/30/09 would be exactly 2 years from my wife's entry in the US.

So I guess I'll see if he's right in 30 days or less. :)

Thanks!

I'm actually shocked at the idea that it's approved already - all of my past experience with USCIS has been "file, hold breath, wait longer, get no answer, call senator, things start moving." The people at the Seattle office were really nice, and we literally were out of there before our designated appointment time. E.g. we arrived 15 minutes early and as soon as we walked in the room they called our number.

I was worried that with all of the transfers from VSC, CSC might be clogged up for many many months... Time will tell.
