That means that the CSC filers, won't get their response till like November -December of this year! That's a long long time....:(

Yup. If you're a CSC filer, you'll need to be super patient. You'll want to file your N-400 in April, assuming you want citizenship and qualify under the 3 year rule. You'll also need to make plans to get an  I-551 stamp in your passport in June. Then you'll probably need to wait until November or December for a green card or citizenship.

 

My wife will be traveling abroad in March and August so we have no choice but to follow these additional steps. Hope and prayers aren't going to get you far on this issue.

I think as an April 2017 filer might hear something in Aug-Oct 2018, but who knows what is will happen at any future time, for example 1 or 2 years ago CSC was very faster than VSC, I-751 cases were take about 4-6 months at CSC while were take 9-11 months at VSC, now the average of CSC has increased 1 year to be 1 year + 4-6 months, while the average of VSC has increased 1 month to be 10-12 months. 

Anyway you could file for your N-400 since your window opens, even if your I-751 is still pending.

Why the VSC still shows the processing dates as October 31, 2017...? Did they stuck at there or they just didn’t update the page...?

Hi all, I have a question regarding when exactly our conditional green cards are available until.

 

My greencard expired in June 2017

I applied for the I-751 in April 2017, so my 1 year extension letter (NOA) is dated April.

 

So does that mean it was a one year extension from April 2017 (NOA date), or June 2017 (greencard date)?

 

I have to travel internationally this April, and I'm wondering if I need to get that infopass appointment for the stamp before then, or do I wait until June for it?

Greencard date, i.e. June 2018 is when the extension expires. Doesn't matter when you received the letter. No infopass appt needed until May 2017, and don't even bother until then because they are turning people away with more than 1 month before expiration.

Ah, okay got it. Thank you! I didn't want to take any chances traveling with a possibly expired extension letter.

Just curious if anyone has any movement on their case status page? Mine is still stuck at case has been received. Also any idea on the average processing time these days?

Yep, that was me (He BTW :P) Hopefully within the next week I will be in possession of my 10 year GC. So hopefully you all are only a month away from starting to see some approvals. It was exactly 329 days between my NOA1 date and my approval date.
