We were very surprised to find a letter in our mailbox from USCIS today. Through the window in the envelope we saw a plain white sheet - it wasn't the snazzy NOA style stationary we're used to seeing. The letter states "Congratulations! Your request for the removal of the conditional basis of your permanent resident status has been approved...."

So, having mailed the I-751 on Feb 12, this is quite a delight - 63 days from mailing to approval!! There were no emails received or no additional touches since the biometrics update on March 8. I guess this is as good as it gets.

I know many here have agonized over this process for many many months. I can't say why some petitions are being processed at a record rate while others sit and wait and wait and wait. One day your turn will come.

Good luck all!!!!

Michael and Milahjean Congratulations! :)

WOW your timeline and my are almost same, i sent VSC one day earlier than you and you got NOA in mail 3 days later than me. This shows how this sucks people who applied at the same time are treated differently.

I feel bad for folks who applied way before us. I am very happy for you and for your family, please dont get me wrong i am just expressing what's going on with USCIS and the inconsistency in handling of applicationd overall. I just hope VSC was just as fast as CSC is. Guess what, we all stucked at VSC have to suck it up and wait and wait :(.

Good Luck to you and to your family for the future ahead.

Congrats on the speedy (very very very speedy) approval. It's gotta feel like a kick in the teeth to those that are waiting- and have been waiting for over a year now though.......the whole situation is very hard on people and I really feel for those that have been waiting. In my opinion, people with these sorts of extremely speedy approvals might want to have some empathy on those that have been waiting and not post threads such as these- by all means tell people you are approved and everyone will celebrate with you- but perhaps keep the speediness to yourself or at least not use it as a headline. That's just my opinion and I'll probably get raked over the coals for it- those people who are still waiting might have more of an opinion. We're done so it's not personal to me, but I just feel really bad for a lot of the people waiting forever on here.

See my timeline for all previous dates!

Naturalization:

6/28/09: Mail N-400 to Texas

7/6/09: NOA1

7/24/09: Biometrics

10/08/09: Interview

11/21/09: Receive oath date

01/22/10: Oath Date

With thanks to all the helpful people who made this journey slightly more bearable.
