Looks like USCIS is messing up a certain batch of Green Cards. Well, they are messing up everything.
 

I think you should definitely get the date fixed to the date of the AOS. Not exactly sure of the process, but I'm sure you'll find your answer if you search the forum.

 

Or just file for Citizenship and get it over within a year.

There was someone in another thread who had a hard time with it because the IO took the 10 year card at face value, thinking they hadn't been a citizen for long enough.

I have a USCIS appointment tommorow for my wife, her one year extension letter is expired so I made the appointment to get a updated letter. I will see if I can ask them what's going on with our case which transferred to the local office last month. After I get the letter I am going to file for her N-400 (U.S. Citizenship). If anyone wants me to ask any general questions about these cases to them tommorow just let me know via pm or in this forum.

Not sure if you have an infopass appointment to extend your extension letter Or is another appointment? I'm suspecting if it's just an infopass they probably didn't give you instruction that you should bring your wife's passport, current green card and extension letter. They won't give you another "extension letter", but they put a special stamp in the passport and it technically is your new extension letter that works like a green card. Just thought I'd give you the information so you don't go there unprepared.

Thanks Sinthea! I talked to USCIS over the phone and they said to make an appointment for another extension letter so I went on their site and made an appointment. Thanks for the info on the stamp. I think it's a general appointment then. The uscis office by my place has super good ratings on Google and a lot of people wrote they had good customer service so hoping for the best!

Just FYI, if you got the message "case was received at local office" then it was not transferred outside of CSC or VSC. It may have just moved to another room in their office. They explicitly write "transfer" and notify you by mail when they move your case.

Some people can't because it cost a lot of money. I came eligible around feb this year, but just can't file for it right now.

Thanks for the info sir, my case just says case was received at local office, says nothing about transfer and I didn't get anything in the mail. I did talk to my congressman's office and the liaison their called over to California to do a general check, I have attached a screenshot of what the liaison from the California Service Center told my congressman's liaison. I have blurred out names for privacy.

 I think you've probably that is high as you can go to get the answers! This is probably the most valid answer out of all the tier 2 calls, and infopass visits!

So I logged in this morning to find yet another Transfer notice but dated today. 
This is the third date I've had from a "Transfer to Local Office". The first was dated Feb 27, the second dated March 5.

[cyclone27 710]

Well the growing theory is that received means just when the case was touched. Only when you actually see transferred is when that has occurred.

 

btw - wife’s case updated with the received  too this morning.

Are you all October filers? I am a dec filer and I just logged inn, but mine has NOT  updated.  It updated on Feb 27 and March 5, but nothing new since. 

[Maya2015 28]

Same here.. transferred in Feb. and March and April ... The post office app shows a delivery of an USCIS letter for me today...

[OhWait 12]

Same here. Dec 16 filer. Updates Feb and March 14th. (name correction) 
Seems like VSC is progressing about one day at a time when I check processing times. ( today January 07, 2017)

 

Maya, are you using the informed delivery by USPS?
