As you would expect, California deals with the larger proportion of DACA, illegals trying to adjust status, related family petitions, and god knows what else, since there are more of them in the border states. Assisted by various NGOs, they all get priority over you people doing it the right way, suckaaaaaa.

NO Sh@#$T. Just frustrating...The way things are moving there, I'm not expecting any movement till late fall, EVEN THOUGH I'm very optimistic

Yes, you are very optimistic. I like the way you think but......

 

I'm going to be Debbie Downer and suggest you change that train of thought.

 

Fall starts in just 2 months and late fall is 4.  Think winter baby!! As in 2019, winter!!

So I got the stamp last week I-551. More relaxed atmosphere and a very nice USCIS Inspector. Very strict security protocol to get in the building and to authenticate me (fingerprint scan, facial scan and questions about me). Spouse was with me too. She asked who he was too and wanted ID. 

(you just don't need an ID to vote if one is a USC..sorry had to get that bit of insanity in).

 

She said there are massive delays and not to hold ones breath unfortunately for I-751. I asked if one submits a N-400, she said they will probably do the interviews together. The online timeline says 7 months left for N-400 processing which means December 2018 at the earliest (probably later) to receive both the approval of both.

 

Oh well....not stressing it.

I'm one of those "lucky" California filers   

So, I do not expect anything till January-March 2019... Keep practicing patience  but really happy for VSC filers - things are moving there!!!

Hello world

 

I have been following this thread for a year now, so I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who contributes with questions or answers - it gets at least some understanding of where are we all standing.

I myself am still waiting for i751 resolution, so wanted to share my timeline:

09/08/2015 conditional GC approved

06/14/2017 i751 case received by VSC

07/21/2017 biometrics appointment (fingerprints, etc)

 

According to USCIS website, my case has been received in local office on April 9th. This seems to be generic message, which might not necessarily be true.

According to DHS account site, they received my case on 6/14/17; 2/25/18 and 2/27/18 (all three dates are entered twice, making it as duplicates).

 

 

6/14/18 N400 received (filed by mail, as I heard some people complain of issues adding evidence online, so I did not risk)

7/2/18 biometrics appointment(again same fingerprints)

 

According to USCIS website, case is being actively reviewed (as soon as I walked out of biometrics appointment, literally 5 minutes as I was at he parking lot). Also they gave me a book to study civics test.

According DHS website, they reviewed my biometrics and I do not need to do anything at this time. Estimated wait time 11 months.

 

 

Now lastly, considering that we are all waiting for 18 months extension letters; and the fact that I am about to accept a new job offer, I am not going to wait until the letter and need infopass i551 stamp to meet i9 guidelines.

All things considered, I used Visualping chrome browser extension, and it took me 10 minutes to get appointment tomorrow. I will let everyone know if there is anything out of ordinary or if I get any information that seems to be unique or useful.

If you are struggling with infopass, try Visualping as it tracks changes of particular web page every X amount of time. So as soon as infopass page changes from "no appointments available" to any available schedule, you will get notified. So if you are watching youtube, are at work, etc, open infopass page with visualping and you will see the magic.

I am wishing everyone of us (both VSC and CSC) good luck and I will let you know as soon as something comes up (RFE or approval).

So as promised, I wanted to follow up on this. 

Getting stamp was easy. It took an hour and a half. Officer explained, that generally Mondays are busy. 

They said even if you don't get your stamp before extension letter expires, your status will not and you can get stamp any time. 

Keep in mind that unlike the letter, the stamp will not extend conditional green card by another year, but rather it will give one more year starting from the day it was stamped. 

Also officer mentioned that they can see address change but most recent address is my original address. To clarify, I have not changed or intended to change the address, so maybe another hickup in the system. 

I urge everyone not to worry, and get stamp upon necessity. Apparently you can even travel with it.

Also they did not take my expired conditional card. So I get to keep it for now along with original extension letter and stamp; until a new 18 months letter arrives or case gets resolved. 

Well, I just got notification about 20 min ago that a new card is being produced. This can be seen on USCIS website as well as phone app. DHS account still shows old status.

Hoping to get card before Aug 13, because that is when I start a new job, so I need to pass i9 requirements. Otherwise will have to use stamp in my passport.

You can review my timeline from above. Feel free to put into whatever sheets you need to put for any statistics. Let me know if you have any questions. I still have 11 months of wait for N400, according to DHS account estimate, and processing times of my field office.

Do you know, how long does it take for them to produce new card and mail it? I guess mailing would take couple days, but what about actual card production?

you should get your card within 2 weeks

[Whitehead 19]

Hi all,

Today I received my green card via priority mail. Was in my mailbox didn't have to sign for it. I got approved on the 18th so only took 5 days to arrive.

 

Now it's in my hand I'm obviously happy but at the same time I can't help but think all that work for this little piece of plastic.

 

Good luck to the rest of you all. Hang in there CSC filers your time is coming, time goes quick, you'll also have yours soon.

 

Thanks for all the support on here throughout my 4 year visa journey. Next step N400... I may wait to apply after Xmas so that I can leave the USA without worrying an interview might come through while I'm away.
