I called the uscis yesterday. She said they are still on normal processing time. They are still processing the July 2016 according to her. So she recommended to schedule for an appointment to get a stamp. I'm a CSC filer. It looks like we'll pass our 1 yr for CSC. Hoping for the best of luck for all of us.

Are we supposed to get a stamp in the foreign passport then?

Ok guys heres an update:

 

I went to the USCIS office with an InfoPass appointment. My extension letter expires on October 25th 2017. I told the lady there that I am traveling soon and might be out the US when it expires. She then took my fingerprints and a photo of my face, then she asked me to wait few minutes. After that she called me and said everything looks good on my end but the USCIS is backloged with I-751.

 

She also said "starting from the coming few months the ROC process might take around 2 years because there might be interviews".

 

After that she asked me for my expired GC, she took she said it will be destroyed. Then she stamped the I-551 on my passport with a note saying "PRC collected and destroyed" and said good luck. After I left the building and was going to my car I checked my passport and she did a mistake. She wrote beside the issue date: September 22, 2017. And beside the valid untill: September 21 2017.

 

I went back in and I said sorry but can you double check this please? I think it should be 2018 not 2017. She said oh sorry and then fixed it. Phew good thing I noticed that.

 

So now I am good to fly out and come back hopefully smoothly. And my biggest hope is to get apporved soon.

 

The immigration process caused me PTSD.

I want to drop this here in case anyone needs to make an infopass appointment at their local USCIS office and is having the same problem we are (no available appointments). I'm going to have my husband try it ASAP! I'll report back...

 

 

 

Okay, this works like a charm. My husband set up the auto refresh a few days ago and today was able to snag an early morning appointment that won't cause him to miss work. It's for Monday, October 2 at 7:15 a.m. I will report back to let everyone know how it goes.

I am overjoyed that I just received my green card today!! I'm even smiling on the picture ;-)

 

as a summary:

approved: Sept 5 2017 (notice received by mail)

online update to "my new card is being produced": Sept 19 2017

online update to "Card Was Mailed To Me": Sept 21 2017

received by mail: Sept 25 2017 (20 days after the approval)

 

just as a side note: they made a mistake with "resident since". I'm slightly frustrated by that but it is only a small obstacle to overcome...lets hope so.
