True. This is coming from my prospective: a CSC filer in Utah. Our field office website in Salt Lake City suggests coming in for "emergencies" if there are no appointment slots available. I have also read stories on VJ about going to other offices out of your closest field office only to be met with an officer that won't touch the case because it's not in their given jurisdiction. So it seems like the dice is being rolled either way.

 

We had an appointment today to get an I-551 stamp and were successful, in case anyone still waiting on CSC for the 2nd extension letter is out there. Brought in passport, NOA1, and expired GC and the officer looked at everything, asked a few questions and gave us the stamp. We received our NOA June 6th  and GC expires the end of August sometime. I was kind of afraid he would tell us to wait till the end of August and wait for our 18 month extension letter; but he didn't say anything about them. He also returned our NOA1 and GC. So we still have that which is nice. He pointed to the GC and noted a number on it that matched what was stamped in my husband's passport. He said immigration at the ports are familiar with the stamp and that's all we would need in that instance; but he said that workplaces and the DMV may not be familiar. So maybe that's why he gave us the GC back too--just in case someone wanted to see the GC and stamp together.

 

if you make international travel, when you come back to the states, be prepared for secondary security check, they may verify your stamp

I LIKE THOSE ODDS

Congratulations to all of you who have received their approvals!

 

I see a lot of movement lately around my case number, so hopefully, I will be getting some news soon too. My case number starts with EAC17259.

 

cloudy, thanks for posting! I have the same NOA date, so fingers crossed. Offtopic: I see that your local office is Manchester, I had my AOS interview there. Very good office and such nice people work there.

Hi, guys.

 

Just made it back from Infopass. My son and I got our passports stamped with I-551 .  The stamp was granted for a year, till July 9, 2019.  The IO was really nice and friendly...especially when he learnt we are California filers  

 

He also confirmed that all those msgs, about transferring your case to the local office mean nothing. Unless you received a hard copy/Notice of that transfer. He also told me I can go ahead and apply for N-400. but I think I will wait. 

 

Our Office is St. Louis, MO. Everybody there were really nice and helpful. We also usually don't have any troubles with scheduling an appointment, so I wish our cases got transferred to MO, but oh, well...sitting tight, patiently waiting.. 

 

Good luck to everybody who is trying to schedule an appointment and get I-551 stamp! And of course, I wish we all got our approvals, soon

Interesting. Our officer said something about California having a glitch in their system. Wonder if he was referencing that.

Thanks for the heads up. We are indeed taking a trip to Europe in August, which was another reason we wanted to get the stamp. What can we expect for secondary screening? Is it just more thorough?

I don't comment very often on this site, but just checking in to say my card is being produced!!!  My first NOA was from June 16 2017, and I just got a text notification yesterday that my case was updated.  It was the first time I heard anything about my case since my biometrics appt last July.  I was fully expecting to get an RFE after reading what a lot of people on here send in, since I sent in only a minimal amount of documents by comparison, but somehow I managed to be approved. 

 

Good luck to all those still waiting!   Can't wait to have the card in hand! 

 

 

Congrats!! What documents did you submit? We're about to send our submission in a week and it's about 1.5 - 2 inch thick but I'm not sure if that's enough comparing to other people 5 pounds of paper packages...

@Coogah I traveled internationally twice with my I551 stamp, on the first trip I was alone and so I was taken to secondary inspection and they didn't ask me any questions, just got my papers, looked at it and stamped my passport, it took less than 5 minutes. On the other trip I was with my husband, the US Citizen and I was not taken to secondary inspection (mind you that we dont share last names).

Dont worry, it should be easy, especially if you are with your US Citizen spouse.

How can I obtain/check this case tracker with all the numbers? I am 17263... The number right after mine was approved already but several numbers before mine are still pending. I checked it manually by entering the numbers on the USCIS website "case status" page.

There is a search button which looks like a magnifying glass icon at the bottom navigation menu.
