This is probably why the VSC cases haven't been moving.

@Jameson78 probably why, they are trying to level out the playing field. A lot of folks have been contacting their senators/congressmen and even calling USCIS. Approximately 2 years ago, VSC was extremely slow and CSC used to churn out the I-751's in 3-6 months. The distribution of workload coincided with the trump presidency and barrage of DACA renewals which lead to the slowdown that we see today.

I just finished my Info Pass to get the I-551 Stamp. Thought I would share my experience. I received my NOA-1 in July, 2017 and my green card expired in Oct 2017. I was able to get my stamp without any issue, they extended it for one year from today (not one year from the expiration date on my GC). They let me keep my extension letter, but took my green card. She told me that I need to care the letter when I travel.

 

This seemed a little different from other experiences I have seen on here, but at least i have the extension for a while.

 

The woman at the counter then told me that the wait for ROC is 2-3 years (ummm?!?) and that I will need to come back and extend again next year. 

 

I asked her about filing for Naturalization and she said that it would likely slow down my case and I need to be careful that I don't interview for the I-400 before ROC or it will cause problems. She seemed to be hinting that I should wait for ROC before applying.

 

Now, I know from here that it shouldn't matter and that they generally will process I-751 and I-400 together... but I was sad to hear about the wait time. Hopefully she is off on that too. Maybe it was the processing time at the Minnesota Office and not the service centers... who knows.

 

Anyways, I was able to get my stamp even though I had more than 2 months left on the extension letter. Hope that is helpful for others!

Yes, applied online for naturalization on July 4th, and took my biometrics on July 25th. Still no response on ROC yet.

I called USCIS customer service today. They told me it could mean an interview or RFE based on what they deem fit. They also mentioned usually very few interviews are conducted. If we are lucky, they'll conduct both naturalization and I-751 interviews together. Not sure what is missing, we even got lawyers and submitted helluva lot documents, if they complain about something missing, it's probably gonna mean they are purposely trying to delay the case further. Don't know what's in store, but hope it goes well.

Thought I would share our experience as we just traveled to Australia and back.  My husband took his expired green card and his extension letter.  No issues flying into Aus as he is a citizen.

Coming back home, the woman at the Qantas counter wasn't sure which number to put in the system so she had to ask a supervisor, which took some time.  But no major issues there.

Once we arrived at LAX, and it was quite early- 6:30 am, we went through customs and the man simply looked at his green card and the extension letter and sent us on our way, very nice and polite.  

His letter expires September 20, 2018.  
So all in all, no issues with using the green card and letter. 

K-1 Visa -  Date of arrival to US  Aug 30, 2014

Married September 26, 2014

AOS: SEPT 24th, 2015 GREEN CARD RECEIVED !! 

ROC:  Oct 10, 2018    Approval of ROC via online USCIS site.  

Naturalization: March 26th, 2021 Approved!!

As of 2022, we are working towards moving back to Australia likely in 2025.

Yeah, I went there and they told me they only give out stamps 2 weeks prior to expiration of the letter. I guess it depends on office locations really. The officer also told me ROC is now taking 2-2.5 years and that I should be waiting at least one more year. Which I don't think it's true based on what we see approvals recently. I really hope she's wrong, 2 year wait is insaneeee.

Thanks for sharing the information. We also submitted a lot of documents along with the case. It should really be a clean review. Not sure why they are delaying it. I really hope it all goes well.
