Thank you for a link and excuse my ignorance but I’m a little bit confused as I saw at other threads people use CR89 number (the one that started to work just recently showing “recieved at local office”) this one is 17048...... ( last status 62 days ago) 

And i-751 number ( original number that worked since day 1, last status 510 days ago) is 17073.....

 

So if they currently working on 17040.... cases, then I have to wait all the way until 17073.... correct? Any idea how long that would take? (33 to go?)

Btw not sure if I congratulate you with your approval yet, but congratulations (again?) you’ve been very helpful!!!  

Hey Scazy!

 

There's a misunderstanding. The one that shows you that the case has been "received at the local office" is the I-751, not the CRI-89 (see screenshot below). My CRI-89 number WAC17025 etc.. NEVER changed, whereas the I-751 number WASC17038 etc.. did change with the updates you're also getting.

 

 

I believe the I-751 number was the original number that initially didn't work when input on the USCIS case tracker, remember? We could only go with the CRI-89 number, and some of us had the glitch with the "we waived your filing fees", even when we didn't apply for any waiver. We are basically talking about the same thing, but have switched the meaning. As I mentioned, my CRI-89 number is the one stuck, whereas the i-751 number has progressed. The MyUSCIS Case Status page also calls them that way (https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/displayLogon.do; look under the column "Form", and it should be the way I'm saying it).

 

As for the way they're working through them, they seem to be all over the place (there are, for instance, January 2017 filers already being approved), so I think it's just a matter of time for you to get an update on your file.

 

And thanks for the congratulations; I've been frantically looking at the DHS website for an update on the document tab to see if my oath letter has been uploaded, but nothing yet. It's kinda funny that I will most likely have a US passport before receiving the permanent green card! LOL

 

Best of luck! Keep us posted!

Thank you for clarification, that means I’m at 17073.. 

 

I just checked January 2017 thread and seems like all approvals came from Nebraska service center and fillets got an actual letter about transfer 

I’m stuck with same old glitches “received  at local office” and “fees were waived” so I believe my case is still sitting at CSC which is currently working on 17040.... ugh  

 

Good luck to you on getting that oath letter asap, must be such a relief to be able to move on with a life lol!

Oh, I see. So, yeah, those were the ACTUAL transfers, and not belonging to us "glitchers"! LOL

Yes, that's most likely where it is. I think by this time it shouldn't be too much of a bad news, as you're definitely almost there. Have you tried the Case Tracker App to see if they have touched any of the files in the 073 filing date?

Thank you! I can hardly wait! Part of me still can't believe it's happening, especially when I have a FB post from May 1, 2011 reminding me that I was NOT selected that year for the DV lottery! LOL

Finally an update! This morning I got a text and email saying "On May 1, 2018, we scheduled an interview for your Form N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION" I know my I-751 is still pending but at least something finally happened instead of this "making me die inside" wait!

Yes, that's most likely where it is. I think by this time it shouldn't be too much of a bad news, as you're definitely almost there. Have you tried the Case Tracker App to see if they have touched any of the files in the 073 filing date?

 

Thank you! I can hardly wait! Part of me still can't believe it's happening, especially when I have a FB post from May 1, 2011 reminding me that I was NOT selected that year for the DV lottery! LOL

Glad we sorted out “transfer” thing too, what an entertainment for the past entire month! Haha 

 

Case tracker app showing some approvals in 1704000000 and up, majority is received  at local office 

1705000000 and up all 500 showing validation error? 

1706000000 all cases received at local office, no approvals 

1707000000 Not much movements ( a few approvals, RFE, name changed) 

500 cases prior mind showing a few actual transfers, 1 rfe , no approval 

500 cases after me a few transfers, 1 approval 

 

Funny about FB! I decided not to file n 400 because my office is backed up worse than Cali, glad it worked out for you perfectly!

The optimist in me says: "Aaaaah, there is a bit of movement!!!"  

 

Did you do the "case out of processing time" inquiry this past month? I can't recall. I did mine, if only to let them know I was paying attention and being slightly impatient! LOL I had filed it on March 30, and received a reply on April 14 stating that it was well within processing time. Then 9 days after... YASSSS!

 

So yeah, that might also be worth exploring if you haven't done so already.

 

As for the N-400, when I filed in November I was just so pissed it was probably going to take another forever for the I-751, that I went for a stamp extension to keep traveling (I do that a lot), and just decided to apply for citizenship in the meantime, as some of the stories about online filing that I was reading at that point were very positive. I kinda lost faith after my "recommended for approval" notice, as I went for an infopass and they told me I was basically stuck because of the ROC, however, ultimately it all worked out for the best this month, and I ended up getting approved for the ROC more or less at the same time as other who hadn't filed for citizenship, so I ended up being a lucky SOB!

 

Throughout the process, hanging out with all of you guys has been priceless moral support as well as precious information, so I thank VJ for giving us that.

 

Here's to a speedy approval!

You right! I noticed my anxiety kicked it pretty bad past few days as I’m up until this moment trying do decide to book a trip for next week or not as I’m overwhelmed with “what if’s” like what if my petition gets denied if I haven’t filled it out completely or whatnot and I’m not here. So I guess essentially it’s being a bit negative. Yet those plane tickets won’t buy themselves and I keep prolonging it due to anxiety of coming back with a close to be processed case. 

I start a day with VJ before even a cup of coffe or breakfast lol ( not really lol) my hubby is getting a bit annoyed with it at this point haha 

I see you went through pretty intense emotional roller coaster yourself so reward must be 100 times sweeter  

You mentioned you travel a lot, you think it’s ok to travel now for 15 days considering I’m at 17073 with i551 without a risk of denial while I’m away?

LOL! Tell your husband you're keeping your sanity through VJ! I'm sure he doesn't want to see the "other" you! LOL

 

As to your question, if you know you have a strong case, and you indeed have nothing to worry about (which I'm sure you don't), then I would say traveling is 100% OK, as long of course as you have the I-551 stamp in your passport. I often leave and enter the country (I have Global Entry, so I go through that lane), and never did I have a problem (even with the expired GC, even while waiting to be approved). Every CBP officer I met was able to figure out the situation by looking at my info on their screen. Never a glitch, never a secondary inspection, nada. Also, the airports in Europe I travel through have always had knowledgeable check in and security agents, and if they didn't, I had the policy manual with me anyway.

 

Ultimately it's a very subjective decision; I knew/know I have zero to worry in terms of my relationship, so I never truly worried, of course knowing my papers were up to speed RE leaving the country (I-551 stamp/current green card, etc..).

 

If you have to travel, I say go for it. I also truly think you're on the verge of being processed... AAAARGH decisions decisions decisions!

Similar experience.   November 2016 filer here with WAC17040*****.    Had infopass today for my second extension of I-551  (so frustrating).   Officer confirmed that filing the n-400 wasn't a good idea as it delays the I751 approval because now the file is in the national benefit center for pre-processing of citizenship instead of california for processing of I751.    Gave me the time estimate of 17.5 to 19 months but added the caveat that the timeline is based on "not filing" the n400 because if you do, it "complicates" the case.   Anywho, I am just as clueless when to expect my removal of conditions, if anything I came out more pessimistic about a quick resolution.

When did you file N-400? What date did you receive NOA for 751 in November?

What's the next digit after 5 for your WAC number?

Just curios as my NOA date is also 11/22/2016 and WAC starts with 17056.
