I just called USCIS to initiate a SR and was informed that I was approved on 2/15 and the approval letter is being sent out. Feels like a big relief, but I will believe it when I see it!

Glad to hear more approvals. Unfortunately, still no word for mine. Filed SR about 3 weeks ago and I was informed that they were currently working on applications for May 2 (which was my NOA1 date). At first, the rep was hesitant to file an SR. I hope it wasnt a bad move for me to insist on SR :unsure: . Still keeping my fingers crossed.......

According to uscis' website. The current process time for I-751 is May 23 instead of May 2nd.

Ask for a Level 2 officer....

lovers0720 · February 25, 2012

Yep! and that level 2 person was the one who hung up one me My case is now close to its 10 month mark and customer service rep told me to wait 60 days....very helpful huh!

When I asked what's the most common reason why the delay, she said it's background check. And when I asked what kind of background check, she hung up on me.

When I asked what's the most common reason why the delay, she said it's background check. And when I asked what kind of background check, she hung up on me.

Seems a common excuse, not sure whether that is the real reason for processing delay. I called USCIS about two weeks ago and accidently the level 2 officer told me my FBI security check has not been clear yet as of their last system update which is at the end of Dec last year. I was so concerned since FBI background check is notoriously flawed, sometimes it takes forever for them to return results to USCIS, so I called USCIS the next again to double check the information, and this time I was told that they have very limited information about I-751 in their system and the information about my FBI background check from the previous level 2 officer was completely wrong. I was so confused, so I made an INFO pass appointment the following week, and I found that the USCIS system is really a mess. When I asked the IO in the window, it took him at least 10 mintues to pull out my information and this time he said he does not understand why the system does not show any of this kind of information. And he reluctantly said that it seems the results were returned to USCIS, I guess he meant fingerprint result instead of background check. So I left there without even asking him more info since all seems self-contradictory. There seems some cover-up excuses USCIS like to use, as for the real reason that causes the delay (I guess nationality, race, etc all play a role) will never be released to us, customers. It is frustrating, but it is beyond our control. I am not even thinking of getting citizenship now, totally disappointed at this beraucracy (worse than what I expected) and dark-box system. Keep our heads up!

lovers0720 · February 25, 2012

I agree with that they are just a mess. I have a feeling that they are losing papers and all as reason of delay because a lot of people who submitted applications at the same time as us got approved but few people were left out.

She also mentioned that VSC is overloaded right now which adds to the problem.

Unfortunately, nothing we can in our end.

Question though, what happens when my extension expires which is getting closed and im getting hopeless with USCIS?

The thing is if they lose our application, then they should and will send out RFE instead of complete silence. It is strange, though. Also, overload seems another excuse USCIS likes to use since many late may filers and some June filers are already approved, so overload really cannt explain this.

As for expiration, simply make an infopass appointment with your local office (through USCIS website), they will stamp your passport with one year extension.

Only them knows what's going on

Thanks! I will give them a visit pretty soon if I don't get my card before my extension expires. Hope I dont need to do it though.

Keep us updated! Seems there is no new approval since they updated the new processing time last week... Dont know what VSC is doing now. Frustrating!
