Everyone with a DHS account gets that message once per month. I've been getting the same one, every month like clockwork, since February.

Yes, everybody already has a dhs account. Nothing new here. But what I'm saying - Vermont June 2017  filers are already getting approvals, so what is meaningless for California peeps (one generic msg less or more - no matter really, still a long wait), for Vermont filers can really mean something.

Yes, VSC, but for July. It seems like there are may more CSC people than VSC, or is that just a reflection of this forum?

I think you are correct.  I thought the same thing just the other day. Probably why they are slower

Either way, you'll be approved way sooner than me and the rest of CSC so no worries..It's just around the corner for you : )

my impression is that dhs account updates more firstly and more frequently than uscis account does,  but my friend's case says otherwise, and uscis is one day later than dhs

Lol, you're sweet. Alas, I think that they have basically downed tools, even at the VSC, from a quick excel analysis that I put together. Ah well, it is what it is. I genuinely have no respect for government workers, so I don't expect anything other than this.

Why do you say that? They're employed by USCIS, which is a division of DHS...

Hey Bella,  when does your letter/gc actually expire?  I was thinking about making an appt for the first or second week of July....then I'm in the less than 3 month window.  Are you in that 3 month window now?

Did any of you guys send passport pictures for your 400 form? I'm in the checklist form for 400 and it says " Only applicants who reside outside the United States must provide two identical color photographs taken recently"

Ah right, yes - probably address update. It seems like they've basically just stopped dead on processing applications filed after May 2017, basically.

Hi! What makes you say that? My day is 256 and I've been diligently tracking from the 240s and 250s up to my day (being neurotic is the only thing getting me thru this haha) and there seems to be a lot of work done on those days recently. For example, my day (17256) had 7 new cases that either case was approved, new card was generated, or an RFE was sent out, just today alone, so that isnt counting the work done on the 19th, etc. It seems to me like its clearly moving more slowly than we hoped, but things ARE moving.

I did (I live in GA)! It was in my lawyer’s checklist! I understand it says “if you reside outside of the US..etc” in the USCIS checklist but I also read it somewhere on the USCIS website that you must submit 2 passport style pictures. (sorry I couldn’t find the link to where I read that)

Hello! See, I am in that window so I thought I'll be fine and will get the stamp, but no, it's  too early. It's not even within 30 days...---my CG expired 8/4/17, the letter was dated 6/27/17 saying it extends my card for a year, which will be 8/4/18, BUT the IO told me I'll have to come back no earlier than 7/30...Which I just realized, my biometrics was 7/30/17....So I'm going back July 30th...
