Congratulations! Best of luck with a smooth and quick n400 process. 

 

Its crazy that online statuses are not updated. What if the letter is lost?!

I'd say that's the same risk with having the GC itself being lost in the mail, or any other communication with USCIS. That said prompt online status updates are surely appreciated. And funny enough, I just now got the update online to say New Card is Being Produced :)

Exactly! USCIS should update the online statuses. I've been away from home for 3 months now, and I am so worried if my letters would get lost in the mail. :(

Dinosaur2013, I've seen some references here from people that said they signed up to a USPS service that tells them what's in the mailbox every day (I didn't set it up, so don't know the specifics, but should be a quick search through VisaJourney).

Thank you so much this is really useful. The system is called "Informed Delivery". I've just signed up a minute ago following your advice.

Hi Guys, 

 

Just wanted to fill in my info to give some hope and idea of timeline to all the people who are patiently waiting. 

 

Filing date 9/12/2016

Vermont 

New Card is being produced - 8/11/2017

 

That was the best text/email I have ever received from USCIS with change in status. Although I feared it was RFE or an interview, but it was in fact the card being produced. So to all of you in this forum - Thank you for keeping my spirits up and this is to pass the positivity around.

I'm just sitting here being casually envious lol. 

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

Hi September filers! I think many of our i-751 are still pending for approval. However, the citizenship early filing window may open up for some of us this September. I wonder if anyone is planning to go ahead and apply for N-400 next month while their I-751 are pending? I plan to do so.

This thread is literally stuffed up with this information. Please read.

dropped in here after a very long time..

just had one question 

if my green card extension letter expires, do I absolutely have to get the I 551 stamp before it expires or can I live without the stamp till I receive my 10year green card? 

If you have to prove that you have a legal status in the US you need this stamp. If you do not have situations in which you are required to prove your status, then you don't need it. In other words, you will not become illegal to the US in case you don't have this stamp. But you will need it to get employed, to travel, to receive government benefits, to conduct bank operations in person and so forth.
