Today, we received in the mail, an I-797 "Congratulations! Your request for the removal of the conditional basis of your permanent resident status has been approved.  You are deemed to be a Lawful Permanent Resident of the United States as of the date of your original admission or adjustment of status.  You should receive a new Permanent Resident Card ... within 60 days."

 

We were greatly surprised and didn't expect this for another 6-9 months.  The letter is dated Feb 28, and yet, the online status says that our case was transferred to our local office on March 4.  Seems backwards.  

Yay! Congratulations! Did you receive a biometrics appointment? I still haven't received mine.

Congratulations! Can you please tell us your NOA date and also the service center you filed at? Did you receive the letter from the service center or from a local office? Any info you can provide will be super helpful. Also, did your case status change last week like most of us about transferring your case or is March 5th transfer the first update you saw?

 

Thanks!

Hello.  Our NOA 1 date is July 14, 2017, file in California, because that is where our attorney filed it, rather than the Vermont Center.  Our notification in the mail came from the Department of Homeland Security, National Benefits Center, in Lee's Summit, MO.  We never checked our case status until today, and it indicated our files were sent to our local office on March 4 (yesterday).  But the approval letter is dated February 28, 2018.  So ... we're hoping its not some kind of a huge mistake on the part of USCIS.  We're waiting to hear from our attorney to see what she receives.  We'll keep you posted.

Yes we did, last August.  Because we live in a rather rural area near Pittsburgh, I believe our local USCIS center is not overloaded.  We never had problems making an Infopass meeting a few years ago.

We are in shock.  We just didn't expect this.  I was just getting ready to contact our US Senator who helped us twice before.  I am hoping that somehow, with all the messages people are getting online regarding their applications being moved to local offices, that this means everyone's applications are going to now be approved.

I"m check your profile, are  you from Pennsylvania? I believe Pennsylvania is under VSC not CSC unless you moved.

This is not the first case. I saw a few other vida journey post taking about similar cases: at least two other people got approved after all these weird notifications. Congrats and I hope is good news for everyone

We submitted our packet through our attorneys, located in California.  For some reason, they submitted the documents at CSC.

Neither.  It came from Lee's Summit, MO office.  I'm wondering if maybe a whole bunch of our applications got shipped around to get rid of the backlog?

Wow, so maybe it's  a "local office"for all our transferred cases:)
