Our case status was updated to "card production" today. VJ stopped notifying me of new posts to this thread for some reason so I've been MIA.. which honestly, really helped with the anxiety of still waiting while some of you guys who filed after us were getting approved before us. :P

Anyway, congrats to everyone who have been approved and I hope the rest of you get your approvals soon (including y'all who received an RFE)!

Updating my approval date.

Called USCIS today because I don't have any updates on my case for more than 5 months. I asked to speak to tier 2 and the lady told me that the normal processing time for I-751 cases is 1 year and that I even can't ask about a service request before my 1 year extension letter (NOA1) expires. I was really surprised to hear that as the uscis website indicates that the normal processing time is 6 months. When I politely asked her about the website info and said that I even know a few people who had submitted their cases later than I did and had already been approved, she told me that there must be a mistake in the website and all my info is wrong and that I should not argue (which I actually did not) and advised to wait.

Now I have a few questions to you guys:

1. What is the normal processing time for I-751? Can we rely on the info from their website?

2. Can I submit a service request if there is no info about my case for more than 6 months?

3. What was your experience talking to tier 2?

Thanks. Any thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, the average processing time for the I-751 is 6 months. Which is just an average!!!

Just called USCIS as it has been 5 months since I filled and they said that the California service centre is currently working on applicants from July of 2013....

I guess the service centers will fall back into a backlog here pretty soon again.

8 Months is still acceptable since the average goes around 6 months. Sadly every time somebody wants from you, you have to be quick and get it done immediately but when a gov. office has to do something everybody has to wait and it doesn't matter what or whatnot!

Called USCIS today because I don't have any updates on my case for more than 5 months. I asked to speak to tier 2 and the lady told me that the normal processing time for I-751 cases is 1 year and that I even can't ask about a service request before my 1 year extension letter (NOA1) expires. I was really surprised to hear that as the uscis website indicates that the normal processing time is 6 months. When I politely asked her about the website info and said that I even know a few people who had submitted their cases later than I did and had already been approved, she told me that there must be a mistake in the website and all my info is wrong and that I should not argue (which I actually did not) and advised to wait.

Now I have a few questions to you guys:

1. What is the normal processing time for I-751? Can we rely on the info from their website?

2. Can I submit a service request if there is no info about my case for more than 6 months?

3. What was your experience talking to tier 2?

Thanks. Any thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated.

Answer to 1.: There is no "normal" processing times. Just "average" times which is 6 months for I-751 cases.

Answers to 2. and 3.: It really depends on luck. A tier 1 or tier 2 can put in a service request whenever they want to. It's just a matter of if they want to. Some of them will do so at 6 months, and some later. It just depends on your luck at that moment. Same thing goes for Infopass.

Good luck!

While I am not part of the above roster of I 751 October filers I wanted to share the fact I am one of them (filed on Oct 9 at VSC and got case transferred on Nov 22). Last night- March 5th- I received an e-mail saying conditions were removed and today I got in the mail the letter with Congratulations saying card is in production.

The only problem with this last letter was the fact my given names did not appear anywhere in full like on the past NOAs, only my first name initial and last name in the mailing tab. I called and spoke with an officer to make sure my name will appear in full on the GC. He checked the records but pretty much said wait and see. Good luck to everyone. Looks like CSC is moving at a great pace with the Vermont files.

Thanks, SunnyCalifornian and VickyP for your responses. I will try to call again after 6 months if I don't have any updates before that. Hope I and all the rest who are still waiting will hear good news very soon.

And congratulations on all recent approvals.

As far as I know, the average processing time for the I-751 is 6 months. Which is just an average!!!
