Am I naive to believe that CSC has to and will catch up on VSC?

 

I believe CSC might catch up soon since there are no more DACA application which they prioritized for how many months, and I believe CSC is the only center that processed DACA that is why they have tons of backlog.

Aside from DACA, CSC and VSC also transferred some of the forms to different centers. Please read the below update:

It looks like CSC is taking from 14 to 17 months to work on I751 cases right now. If the new goal of this administration is to make it harder for people to immigrate, I wouldn't expect them to work any faster by now. I wouldn't be surprised either if they start increasing the amount of interview requests for those that didn't get one at AOS.

 

To check your status you need the biometrics number and not the NOA1 number but it is worthless since they will just update information when they send you the card.

 

To travel after the NOA letter expires (1yr) you need to make an appointment to get the passport stamp, preferably book through an American carrier and have the carrier-information-guide-english.pdf document downloaded in your smartphone in case you still face an agent ignorant of the procedures.

 

Lower your expectations to be prepared.

Everyone still hanging in there? <3 

It's been a long 8 months lol.

I wanted to take a bit of a survey to figure out who will be applying for naturalization once their window opens up. I'm considering it but haven't fully decided.

Still hanging in here....

I will apply for naturalization but have to apply soon for the retention permit of my German one since I would like to have both citizenships. Since the German retention application takes up to 12 months itself I think the US naturalization won´t interfere with the renewal of my GC...well...I HOPE...

I'm really worried. Whether we can have GC in hand in May or not? Because I will have an important examination in May which requires me to show ID or GC valid. I have no any ID or GC valid. That's why I wait for 10-GC so bad. If I don't have GC in hand in May. I will miss the examination.

Get your driver's license or passport. Don't expect your GC within the year. There is a 2 to 5 months gap right now, meaning it can take from 14 to 17 months. They are approving August 2016 right now. http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/liftlist.php?cfl=0&op1=4&op2=d&op3=&op4=1&op5=&op6=California Service Center

So...has anyone actually had luck applying for naturalization BEFORE the I-751 removal of conditions is approved/delivered?  Wife is eligible in Feb to naturalize but we aren't expecting any action on 751 until at least June.

I actually called USCIS today to ask about my case. Lady said that they are processing November 2017 applicants at VSC now and If I don't hear anything by April ( extension letter expired on May, 1st) I need to make an appointment with the office and get one more extension.

Just hope this means they start moving faster on our cases...

The USCIS processing page was updated Oct 31, 17 saying they are processing Nov 16.  But if you go to VJ timelines a lot of Jan 17 filers got approved in Dec 17.
