Congratulations. The wait is over. 👍🏼😊 You are a March filer, correct? So that means May filers can expect the approvals in May.

On the Lift Conditions timeline for VSC someone that filed on April 8 got approved on March 20.  I had to cancel my info pass appointment due to snow, and now there are none available.  Ugh.

I can see a lot of April I-751 filers getting approved from VSC. Good news soon! 😃

Hello everybody! I checked my status online and for the first time it showed that my case was transferred to local office. I called in and no definate answer was given. I read number of threads and I got an impression that there are thousands of cases transferred to local office so does anybody has a good sense of what is happening? I also tried to make an INFOpass appointment to extend by one-year extension but the INFOpass does not show any available dates and on the call they told me to keep checking day and night.... 

 

The case was received on May 10, 2017. I am with Vermont Service Center

Ey friend, I have the same problem !!! I also tried to make an appontment for the same reason, and all dates are ocupaid! I am very nervious.

We also filed in May 2017, however, on Feb 28th, USCIS just informed us the case was transferred to local office. We live in Illinois, I believe tons of other applicants also received the same notifications.  Now except the notification that our local office received our case, we didn't get any update. I know CSC is kinda behind VSC, but not sure how far behind.

 

From the USCIS online tracking system, it did say if we haven't received any notice before March 28th, we should send them a case inquiry. Not sure if anyone else has the same situation with us.

The 'Received in local office' does not mean anything like it sounds.

One person finally got a good answer from a person at USCIS who  knows what is happening.

 

What happens is when a file is moved even from one room to another room at the same location (Vermont or California) it is logged in and out and creates this very misleading wording about 'received in local office.'  It should say, of course, 'moved from room A to room B.'

 

And don't be assuming this means there is real movement of your case.  With thousands of these showing up in most everyone's timeline, you can bet they  aren't suddenly going to be able to process thousands of cases any sooner than they were before.  This could be something as simple as they need to paint one room, so they moved a ton of files from that room to another room.

 

And further, no one here should want their file to be transferred to their really local office near their home, because . . .

If you look at the new timelines, local offices are taking up to 48 months to process ROC's compared to 12-19 months at Vermont and California.

Totally agree with your opinion. You are 100% right, there is no good from transfering your case.

Anyone here who submitted N-400?

Not yet, but my husband is eligible on April 29th.

Ours is May too. However, I started the process online. It only holds for 30 days then gets deleted. So before that time, just update with something, then it resets the clock

Not yet..end of May. However, I started the process online

Thanks for the tip!  We will do this too!

I wasn't planning to apply for N-400 before, but with recent changes I am thinking of applying when the Window opens.  Is any one else thinking about filing N-400 ?

 

My 2 yr GC says "resident since"  on 07/07/2017, so my three yr anniversary is 07/07/2018, so the earliest filing for me is 04/08/2018. 

I posted an independent thread asking this very question: should we concurrently file for N-400 while waiting for the 10 year green card, and all the responses were do it asap.

Question: 

when making an infopass to get a stamp in your passport because the extension letter is expliring, do you use the receipt number that was on the extension letter?

 

And:

Is it better to attend the appointment with my husband, who is the applicant?

Thanks!

I went by myself without my husband, remember that the expiration date is from your green card no the letter itself.

Expiration of green card and extension letter is within days of each other, end of May.

May filers,

Do you guys have a google sheet of the processing time of the applicants? I’m a June filer but I keep checking on April and May threads to understand where the progress has been!
