Do my eyes deceive me or has the official processing times for i-751s at CSC changed to an even longer 18 to 20 months?

And, the 'case inquiry date' has jumped back to 17 Oct 2016 - I'm sure it was at Nov 2016 last time I looked.

 

Ugh.

 

Happy Monday everyone!

Your eyes are not deceiving you unfortunately =[

I dont mean to disappoint you, but I have been tracking down on my excel files whenever USCIS updates I-751 timeline. 

So far, it is like following. 

 

	updated date	CSC	VSC
	10/13/2017	6/1/2016	10/1/2016
	11/9/2017	8/3/2016	10/10/2016
	12/1/2017	8/3/2016	10/10/2016
	12/7/2017	7/27/2016	10/10/2016
	2/1/2018	9/7/2016	12/19/2016
	2/15/2018	9/22/2016	1/23/2017
	3/14/2018	10/12/2016	2/27/2017
change to case inquiry	4/16/2018	9/26/2016	1/17/2017
	5/16/2018	10/26/2016	2/14/2017

Realistically, however, there have been many reported cases until Feb, 2017 CSC filers, so I am just guessing that USCIS does not want to update the dates concurrently, which, then, would create angry/dismayed CSC fillers shadowing case inquiries to USCIS, leading to more increased workload. Although USCIS website says 50% of cases are between 16.5 to 20 months timeframe, but they can always change the definition of those 50% cases, and that is how it can manipulate the statistics while they did not make a lie, called misrepresentation, and because USCIS operates in such a closed door manner, outsiders can't really say too much

 

Anyhow, a good news is that USCIS increases the number of officers since last year, who are final phase of completion of training, and the delayed I-751 cases are distributed to Nebraska/Texas Service center. So it might start to speed it up sometime this year. 

 

Because newly trained ISO generally conducts N-400 interviews, as some of might have applied for N400 during pending status of I-751, they might actually get the interviews in 4-6 months for N-400 and becomes citizens. (The reason for new ISO conducts N-400 interviews is it is relatively easier than green card eligibility to determine, and once they become 1-2 years experienced, they will be doing more green card interview as well) 

 

Hope it can catch up some speed. I will keep updating my excel file at the latest!

Can you provide evidence for this?

Where did you find this information?

I'll take your word for it but I mean evidence would be great.

Hello,

 

I will be travelling home for a month. I know that my expired green card and letter of extension is going to be recognized upon my return to the US. I saw somewhere on the forum a page from CBP manual saying that valid extension letter and expired green card are proof to be readmitted to the US. I wanted to print it out just in case I meet someone who is not familiar with the process during my travels. If you happen to have a link please send my way.

 

Thanks.

Has anyone received the extension letter for 18 months yet?  We will be moving in 3 weeks so I'm nervous that it's going to get lost in the mail.

If someone is more familiar with the tracking form being used and would update my information for me to include that my biometrics were done sometime early November 2017...that would be appreciated.

[GoodbyeGirl 144]

I'm in the same boat as you @MonicaCO, we're moving in 3 weeks as well. I've received nothing as yet and am wondering at what point I should inform USCIS of my new address. 

[David1987 43]

Hello all,

 

I'm hoping that someone here can provide some thoughts/insights/guidance on my situation.
My boss needs me to go work in Australia for a year and while I'm okay going I'm scared it may affect my green card application. 
Below is timeline and this year, 2018 in October I am planning on applying for N400 - Naturalization which would be 90 days prior to 3 years of holding a green card while married like I'm assuming everyone on here is familiar with.

 

My green card expired on Jan 6th 2018 and I have my extension which is valid for a year after that, Jan 6th 2019.

 

Given the current processing delay, I don't think I'll get my green card anytime before Oct (4 months from now) , where I'm eligible to apply for my Naturalization. I've read somewhere that USCIS is having both the interview for N400 and Removal of conditions on the same day. 

 

1) Does anyone know if I can travel while I wait for the Permanent Green card? All i need is to apply for Re-entry Permit with form I-131 (Application for Travel Document) before I leave correct?

2) Assuming I get my I-131 approved and I end up leaving before October this year, can I still submit my N400 application from Australia? What if I get called for an interview while I'm away?

3) I don't have to be outside of the USA for a whole year but I do need to work there for year. It doesn't mean I can't travel back to the US multiple times within the 12 months. Is this going to impact my application?

Hi, 

 

I have left the country 8 times this year and i never had issues coming back on my expired green card and extension letter. I was only questioned once ( in Warsaw, Poland- wasn't surprised lol) about the extension letter. The airline agent has never seen anything like that before...so we had to call Supervisor who thankful was familiar with the document. So if i was you i would not worry much about returning to the USA. Safe travels! 

[Yd4ever 3]

hello everyone

I am new here  and I start to read most of the post you shared  and really they was so helpful  and I learned many positive things .

thank you to all of you 

my case was received to the  local office and still there from 2/26/2018 .  Do i need to do something or just wait and let me go finish watching soccer world cup 2018 ?

 

mailed my I751 on 10/16/2017

Receipt Date on 10/18/2017

no biometric appointment  and they mail me notice that is okay and i do not need it .

 

Can someone add me to the excel sheet and I am here to answer if you do have question for me.

 

Have a great day everyone.

Hahaha I'm not surprised about Warsaw either.  Safe travels and let us know how was it! I wish to go to Zakopane soon.

Any insight on how to proceed further? Been more than 8 months since I have applied. Received "NO biometrics needed letter from USCIS" in APRIL 2018. I am planning to travel out of the country in December. Where do I get started? Planning to make an info-pass appointment with local USCIS office this month. Any information is appreciated. Thanks guys.

At this point, there's nothing you can do other than go to infopass appointment and get your passport stamped before your extension letter expires. It is a pretty long wait and it can take over a year now.
