Ok Gang  Here is the scoop.

 

Sunday I took the wife on a5 hour drive to Pittsburgh, PA,  to get her green card.  Well we went reported to our 12:00 pm 15 October 2018 appointment 30 minutes early.  I was wearing my Government ID card from the Veterans Administration  so I was waived threw security.  My wife went threw the standard procedures like at the airport except for removing shoes.  Now what was funny was a female agent went into her purse and get this scanned each and every coin SEPERATLY.  She then put them back in the purse ours we smiled friendly like at my wife and we went in.  Dropped of our info pass letter and were quickly called to a window

 

Made friendly chat with a fellow civil servant and as I am a US Navy Retiree and he is a US Marine Corps veteran.  Things went great.  He looked up the case status and was really upset that its been sitting since 9 April 2018.  He explained that after Vermont sends the case to an individual office each person is assigned to a SPECIFIC AGENT.  Some are hot and get cases approved and others are sick, lame or lazy.

 

We talked about the West Virginia DMV not accepting the extension letter for drivers license's but accepting the I-551 in the passport.  Apparently I am not the only person he has seen with the same problem.  Pennsylvania DMV I was told also does not recognize the extension letter but does accept the Green Card and the Stamp.

 

 

Within 30 minutes we had the stamp in the passport and were on are way home to West Virgins.

 

5 hours later after driving threw down pour I get home and open my email to get this letter in the mail. . . . which was sent at 4:38 p.m. 30 minutes after the office closed for the day

 

 

There has been a recent processing action taken on your case.

Receipt Number: EAC17298XXXXXXX

Application Type: I751, PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS ON RESIDENCE

Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production

On October 15, 2018, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number EAC17298XXXXXXX, and will mail it to the address you gave us. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

 

So either the Agent got some results for me or its a big coincidence.  The agent did tell me when he checked there files that no one in the office had touched my case since it was received on 9 April 2018

 

 

Still cost of a hotel room in Pittsburgh $150

Gas to and from Pittsburgh                    $55

Dinner / meals                                          $75

 

 

 

But I got my wife's green card coming

 

 

So I am happy.  I did learn it helps to be friendly with the Agent at the window instead of complaining about processing time.

Congratulations.  Glad to see that more approvals are being sent out.  But what happened to those of us on July 5th (WAC17277xxxxx)?   It seems that a lot of us on that date are being left behind.

Thank you for this description of how things went.  I do not think it was a coincidence that you got approved so quickly after your in-person visit.  Maybe we will look into making an appointment.  I would like to get this wrapped up so that we can plan on a big trip.

I'm in the same situation. I've asked two immigration attorney's on what the best course of action is and each case of course is unique. My case is unique to me and yours will be to you, so please don't take this as the final word or what you should do. 

 

Last week my wife and I settled on the divorce. It now means we have to wait 3 to 6 months for the final divorce certificate to come through. This is while the ROC is pending. The issue is, the ROC is potentially due within days/weeks if we are to look at case numbers (mine is right next to some of those that are approved). My immigration attorney's both told me to wait this out. Reason is if I let USCIS know of my situation, I will have to file for a divorce waiver which is no issue in itself, but the issue is they require proof of divorce within 90 days.... but California requires 6 month cooling off period before a divorce is finalized. In that situation, my divorce would not come through in time and my ROC would be rejected. I'd probably then have to go through the whole fiasco from the start, potentially even being deported (i have a child here which worries me sick).

 

However, IF you have the divorce certificate in hand then you  100% should let USCIS know. They will move you to a divorce waiver and you can simply provide your evidence  and get approved swiftly that way. The issue is for those of us that are pending when the approval is soooooooo close. We are damned if we do and damned if we don't. Sadly there is no "pending" box with USCIS, it is very black and white. 

 

Hope that helps!

Thanks. Exactly we are in the same situation. So, I think is better to wait. I'm in California too and I saw the divorce take 6 months.
