As expected new card is in the mailbox today! Awesome feeling finally having this card in my hands! Best of luck all still waiting!

Same here.....tracking indicated that it has been delivered. It should be sitting there nicely in my mailbox waiting for me.

I'm getting nervous that I haven't received anything since they received my application. I just called to see maybe I missed something in my mail and the agent told me they haven't sent anything to me recently 😭 So paranoid! Should I schedule an infopass? My greencard extension expires at the beginning of July.

This whole process can be nerve-racking. I try to calm people's fears and frustrations but I can't say I wouldn't be frustrated with the wait. It's not late in the game so don't get too nervous. It's very possible that some here wouldn't get any word until mid May. Does that mean something is wrong? It could, but it could also mean that you're stuck with a slow officer who has not gotten to your case yet.

 

Hang in there.

ME neither :( I've been checking the mail so often, my key literally locked up on me and stopped working. That'll teach my impatience a lesson.

I know this may not be funny for you guys right now but I can't help it- there are so many times I've been expecting something important in the mail only to see a nice looking envelope in the box saying I have been pre-approved for credit card (with 0% APR. lol).

Approved!!! :D

Letter arrived in the mail today, 4/27/2017

NOA was dated 05/02/2016

Approval letter dated 04/21/2017

 

Online status remains unchanged.

Interestingly, I filed at VSC but the letter came from the Charlotte service center (we live in NC), so I'm guessing that it was transfered there at some point. Has that happened to anyone else?

Also, I just happened to put my N-400 application in the mail yesterday morning. How timely *head shake*

Does this mean you can file for n-400 prior to receiving 10 year? I was told I had to wait to receive the 10 year (even if already eligible for N-400) before filing for N400.

Yes, you can file N-400 once you are eligible. Include photocopy of your old (conditional) GC and approval letter for ROC in your application. I sent my package last Friday and my check was cashed today. I just got my 10-year GC yesterday. @Private One did the same.
