Uscis updated as of Jan 31 , ---- it's may31 2016. It's for sure load transfer from Vermont to csc because in month the they covered 2 months . It's on feb 2016

Perfect. Overburden CSC even more, like if was not enough the fact that for the last 4 months we have been stuck on May/16 with little to no movement. It's really difficult to figure this out. And to accept it, matter of fact. Lord help us.

I know this is a how long is a piece of string type question but on average how soon is the new card received after approval of the I-751 at CSC? My status changed to new card being produced on 03/03 and I received the approval letter today. I'm going to barbados on March 22nd and really hope it arrives before then. 

 

Thanks guys

Soo, I called USCIS after I saw the processing times were updated to May 30th. They transferred me to a manager, and all they told me was "Um. yeah it's outside of normal processing times. All I could do is send in a request. You'll get a letter 2-3 weeks with HOPEFULLY more details." Also, my husband's original visa expired in August 2016, but with the extension it expires per the USCIS supervisor, May now. We're getting a lawyer now at this point because it's too close at this point to wait it out.

Hi, everyone. I don't post often in here but I just (finally) updated my timeline ...three years after moving to the US!

 

Anyways, I just wanted to chime in regarding my application to remove conditions. I also filed in May and my case was received May 27th, 2016. I just noticed that the processing times were bumped up to the 31st for CSC, so I just submitted a case inquiry. 

I'm starting to get pretty antsy and nervous. I'll be relieved when this step is finished and I can take a break from worrying before applying for citizenship!

If your Conditional Green Card expired in August, your extension letter should be good until the 1 year anniversary date (ie: August). The USCIS person you spoke to had the wrong information about that.

Get a lawyer if you want, but it really won't do any good - there's nothing a lawyer can do to speed up the process - he/she will be glad to take your money, though.

Remember that you are never out of status while your case is in progress. The only time you are out of status would be if you were DENIED. If an employer checks with VerifyMe, they will see that your husband is still a conditional permanent resident, with his ROC petition pending. 

The only thing you won't have once your extension letter expires is proof of your legal status, which I will admit, is important especially in this political climate, or of course if you want to travel outside the US.

So here's what you do: (and you don't need a lawyer)

• Start calling to make an infopass appointment within the month before your letter expires (so - July). They won't be able to help you if you go in before that.
• When you go in for your infopass, tell them your extension letter is expiring in August and you need an I-551 stamp in your passport.
• That stamp acts as another 1 year extension, and is proof of your legal status either for another year, or until your ROC has been processed, whichever happens first
• I know this is frustrating, but don't panic! And don't waste your money on a lawyer you don't need. There's a delay. A lawyer can't fix it or help you jump the queue in any way.

Good luck, and stay calm! It's going to be all right!
