Thank you! Yes, I'll share an update when I receive my card in the mail. :) 

 

Thanks! :D Yes, a huge weight and this happened much earlier than I anticipated! I filed with the Vermont Service Center. I didn't go as nuts with evidence as I did with my I-129F or I-485, but I didn't necessarily skimp either and tried not to over think it (but of course was regularly wondering.. did I include enough? lol). Couldn't have made it this far without this amazing site and forum! :wub:

 

Thank you :) Fingers crossed we see both CSC & VSC plow through all December 2016 filers soon. I didn't expect to receive a response so early at all.

Hi! Congratulations!🎊 

quick question, what type of mail your approval letter cane? Is it s first class mail with  " DO NOT FORWARD" mark on it? 

Im worry about my address change. Thank you

Immigration is a complex topic, from all sides, as is DACA.  The problem is not necessarily with the DACA kids at all...but there are issues with blank citizenship for these kids.  Firstly, as they ar

Hi, Everyone!

 

I am a Dec applicant too. I am wondering - since it will take over a year to get to our cases, when is a due to get a stamp on passport if our extension letters will be expired in March?

 

Also, I tried to make Infopass appointment through the website but it seems not to be working properly - never has available dates (okay this is very common), but only current date appears and impossible to check the next week, arrow is not responding. Is it a website glitch or I do something wrong?

You can go for a stamp around a month before.  They only do 2 weeks ahead of appointments, if memory serves me correct. Keep refreshing the page as often as possible to see if there have been any cancellations or try in the early hours of the morning.

I filed my I-751 removal of conditions in Dec 2016 (12/05 to be exact) and today I got the letter in the mail from USCIS that I've been waiting for! My request for removal of conditions has been approved! After my case # showed the fees were waived there was literally zero communication from USCIS until my approval letter arrived today. My new GC should be in hand within 60 days. I'm so excited! :jest:

WOW, Congrats! I filed on the same day as you did12/05/2016, I'm CSC filer. I expect another half year of waiting..

Even with VSC, your approval is fast considering they are on Oct. 2016. It's wonderful, great Thanksgiving gift for you, happy for you!

Besides, same as your concerns-my case status never changed from "your fees were waived". I'm wondering after bio-metrics was done, they don't even update it in their system?

Hello, fellow December filers,  j.... today my wife got the letter in the mail from USCIS  that the request for removal of conditions has been approved on 11/21/17, exactly 4 years since she arrived in the US.   And that her new GC will be here within 60 days.   I really can't wait to be done with USCIS.   Only a few more step to go!  I'll keep everyone updated.   We filed at VSC.

Hello everyone. We also got the approval letter in the mail today. File date was 12 Dec 2016 at VSC. The approval date from the letter was 18 November 2017 so it is taking over 11 months for VSC to review packages. Hopefully my wife will get her GC in the next 60 days as the letter stated.  Good luck to everyone. I know it is a slow and painful process.

Hi guys! Thank you for updating and congratulations!! My question is how did the envelopes you revived with approval letter / geeen card looked like? Was it a first class mail with "Do not forward " stamp on it? Or just plain white envelope?
