That's why they don't have time to process Green Cards! They are too busy texting!

They're likely referring to the scaremongering statement from the USCIS union last year. It simply referred to the plan to expand eligibility for interview waiver cases. I highly doubt there's any way

We have movement! We got another letter dated November 20th that says that our case has arrived at the Sacremento office (not sure what happened to transferring it to Houston) and that if we haven't heard anything from them in 60 days to follow up.

I can tell you right now we're not traveling from Houston to Sacremento for a darn interview so I'm hoping to see that little "card in production" message soon!

No, it just means that out packet is finally on someone's desk in the Sacremento office and will be looked at! Most people who get the letter don't have to interview, which is a blessing but the curse is the wait.

But I thought the whole idea of the NPIW cases was that they stayed at the National Benefits Center to alleviate the pressure on the local offices? Do you think this is some sort of overflow due to the backlog of cases or because your case was outside of processing times?

I'm not sure what the problem is but when I look at the processing times for most of the local offices they are much shorter than what it's taking people who stay at NVC. Maybe they are preparing for an influx of documents due to the new immigration reform? Who knows.

Add me to the group... I got my letter in June the 5th. I am 4 days away for the 6 months and I havent hear anything.

Welcome to this thread! Two February filers who got their NPIW letters in May were approved last week. Apart from that you have to go back to the end of August to find another approval. This is definitely the slow train ...

Keep us updated please!
