I just wanted to let you guys know that I went by car to Canada yesterday and came back today through a Washington state's crossing without any issues, having the stamp in my passport :)

That's great - I think the stamp is so much clearer for everyone than the extension letter - I almost wish they'd automatically issued a stamp to everyone when we went for our biometrics! (Of course we'd still have needed another one, but honestly... the fact that there's an actual date for expiry of the stamp, and the fact that it clearly indicates that it's an I-551 (green card) stamp makes it so much easier for the average bureaucrat to understand!!)

I have the stamp and have used it multiple times. For the first time, I was sent to a secondary inspection with the stamp. Immigration officer was clueless or didnt like his job. It all depends. 

I am tired of not having this stupid card and really hope CSC steps up. The wait has gone being beyond ridiculous.

CSC here! I got my interview notice for N400 in 3 weeks :) That is essentially more important than the green card. Anybody also getting invited to interview?

Congratulations to you, but how come N400 interview before I-751.  How does it work?   Thank you.

Apparently it is a combined interview. Or they didn't check how my 751 is going and wanted to process 400 regardless, since ROC is dragging its feet. I am not asking questions, just glad I get to reach the next step towards completion.

Apparently it is a combined interview. Or they didn't check how my 751 is going and wanted to process 400 regardless, since ROC is dragging its feet. I am not asking questions, just glad I get to reach the next step towards completion.

Will a combined interview be for only the applicant or both husband and wife?

If it's not a divorce waiver then it will be for both the applicant and spouse. 

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".

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
