You can follow my/our updates... Feb filers by pressing the follow button at the top of the subject.  I have to have a sense of humour through this as we all had to during AOS.(which was another long journey)  Many members for AOS got really close and we became friends after that process was finished. I love this forum most of the time as people are so nice and share important info and it would be wonderful for you to share too!

 

Glad I made you smile! :}

Yes you are right, I am a new member here, but I loved this website directly.

I will follow the experiences of the members, and I will update mine also when I got any new information.

 

Thank you shell20 for your kindly reply.

Thank you shell20 for your kindly reply. 

You have joined a great "family", with out this site i would be in a bit of a pickle by now.  It's fascinating watching the approvals through the months and staying in direct contact with what is happening with the service centers and such. California is way behind, but my prediction for 2018 is that we will soon see movement and a lot more approvals coming in.

Ah I hope your prediction proves to be right, many applicants would get reprieval of some sort. The long wait at CSC these days is unprecedented.

We transferred some of the following cases from the Vermont Service Center and California Service Center to the Texas Service Center:

• Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, for petitioners seeking L nonimmigrant classification

Sounds interesting, Thanks. Do you know how many I-129 petitions USCIS get every year? I wonder if it would speed up the I-751 applications already in the pipeline.

@shell20 I was looking at USCIS statistics a few minutes ago. They received 91,317 non-immigrant I-129 F applications in the year 2017 for the first quarter. The same year for the second quarter they received 111,249 applications. They got 222,682 for the third quarter and received 101,187 applications for the fourth quarter. It means I-129F might be the reason for CSC slow processing speed of I-751.  In total, they got 526,435 I-129F application in 2017.

And they had 100,000's of Daca which has now stopped.  Perhaps they have moved these files as there has been an inquiry regarding the slow process of ROC?!?!  I guess this next 3 months will be the testing ground. If we see loads of ROC applications approved we will know why.  Although like i said, watch this spot, I think we will see ROC approvals speed up with both centres.

My husband's employer said he only has until Feb.22 to work.  That is the date of the letter, not the expiration of his green card. How is this possible? Now we have to schedule an info pass to get the stamp. Ugh!

My husband just changed jobs and had to show his extension letter but they never said anything about needing anything after the date on his letter. USCIS has now changed the language of the letter to clarify it means it's good till expiration date on the GC. The old letters we have are way too vague and confuse employers. We are going to get the stamp anyway just in case his employer says something.

I am trying to get a infopass appointment but I am not having any luck.

I saw a couple people here say their drivers license or state id were to expire when their GC expired. Well I decided to look at my husbands state id. They gave him the expiration date of April 2021. Evidently they didn't care or notice the expiration date on his GC.

Try just after midnight or very early in the morning and keep refreshing every half an hour, if that fails source another field office that is near you.

Ive seen this before, apparently it varies from state to state, some expire when the GC expires, some states are more flexible.
