Ok. I'm still waiting on mine too, do you think it is advisable to file citizenship now?

If you're still married to the same person and have been residing here as a permanent resident for 3 years minus 90 days, then absolutely. I'm not yet because I don't have the cash 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".

Finally, I’ve got the GC today. Here is a timeline. 

 

09/23/2016 : NOA1

11/04/2016 : Biometric

10/12/2017 : Case status changed - New Card is being produced

10/16/2017 : Case status changed - Card was mailed to me

10/18/2017 : Card arrived in mail box

 

NO APPROVAL LETTER. So I didn’t know the Approval date. 

 

Good luck everyone. 

If you don't mind, could you please tell us the date USCIS mail you the card? I believe the date they mailed you the card wasn't the date your status changed to "Card was mailed to you". Thank you.

An update: got my approval letter yesterday.

 

A quick timeline:

I-751 filed 09-13-2016

NOA1 date (receipt date) 09-20-2016

Biometrics taken 10-21-2016

Approval date 10-13-2017

Approval letter received (delivery from VSC to Atlanta, GA) 10-20-2017

 

For your information, Approval letter does not have "Return service request" stamp. Here is the picture of my envelope. So, I think it will be forwarded by USPS if accidentally sent to your old address and you have USPS forward mail service set up.

They charge us hundreds of dollars fees , and don't even use tracking no for these letters... What a pity....

The most important documents of our life is being sent on a 0.46 cent stamp.....

Your status does not expire, no need for a infopass stamping, unless you plan to travel.

And also in the very rare case someone like a cop wants to see proof of status. Not having it is a misdemeanor but it's been pointed out a few times that it's rarely enforced. Depends on your level of comfort really. 

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".

Yup... Also, it's been almost 2 weeks since my I-751 approval (10-13-2017), but no update on my case status on-line. USCIS website still shows "Case was received".

With all this modern technology how difficult it would be to actually link Case status updates to the USCIS database? It looks like they input updates manually.

I think the issue with that is the case number we can track is for the green card itself. That's why it only updates when it's printing and being mailed. The I751 case itself is never trackable for whatever reason they deem necessary.

Evening everyone.  Wife is a September 2016 Filer   Has anyone received their card with a tracking number and case still says recieved sep 2016?  Reason is I got a message today saying I  have a priority envelope being sent from Texas   I get notifications when mail and parcels are sent to my address.   I actually work for the PO and I can see the price weight and address by the tracking number.  Origin is Indiana but was processed and accepted in Texas
