Well, I got my I-751 package in the mail today to Nebraska Service Centre.

Boy.... did those 2 years go fast.... I thought the rest from all the paperwork and the constant checking for "touches", etc. would last longer than it did. I guess I'll be back to being a "USCIS addict" yet again!!!!!

We still have my daughter's I-751 and Citizenship to do down the road too, so it won't truly be over for us for quite some time. We couldn't include her on my I-751 because she got her Conditional GC more than 3 months after I got mine.

Wish me luck for a speedy approval and then only one year from now, I'll be applying for my Citizenship.

Probably the best thing to do is not to bother to check. After all, this has to be the easiest part of the process, and you already have your GC (and will get an extension soon), so why worry?

Good luck :thumbs:

Good Luck with it all. I just completed mine and it only took 48 days start to finish to approve it through CSC. So dont trust the processing dates online. Also,..you cant actually check its progress online!!

Congrats on getting it mailed in!

There's nothing to check, no obsessing to do.. whew!

Keep an eye on NSC's processing dates for I-751 and just watch your mail box. There's no telling what kind of follow up you will get exactly, seems there are several processes going around right now, so just hang tough.

Start studying! :)
