I-751 February 2017 Filers, Part II

[Omer54321 1]

I applied February 1, 2017. 

Case got transferred from CSC to NSC on May 10, 2018. Got an extension letter for 18 months on July 31, 2018.

Finally got my status changed on dhs website that my case is approved today (August 8, 2018). Hopefully I will receive something in mail soon.

I got an interview notice for my N-400 at the Chicago office. Still no word on the I-751. I hope they will do a combined interview. I'll just attend with my spouse in case they decide to do both together.

I have this coming in the mail today looks like an RFE to me, what do you guys think?

I made an inquiry almost a month ago regarding my case stuck in NBC since May 8. Today they responded saying that my case is in "pending scheduling interview" status.

@JAN0 Did you apply for your N-400/citizenship ? The letter is coming from NBC Missouri, it seems like they have scheduled your citizenship interview/.

@benny_oo Yea definitely, make sure you take your spouse along - Hopefully they will do a combo interview and you can be done with USCIS once and for all

I tried to fill out an inquiry today about my case is out of the processing time. Since it actually is, my case was transferred to Nebraska and they are working on Feb 18 now. I filled in Feb 14 

 

They responded back and said it is still within the processing time. 

your are not out of processing time yet

 

California is 20 months.  so if you filed Feb 14 (same day as me) it would not be until  Oct 14th   (20 months)

 

We were approved July 18th  and have the same dates you do. So keep the faith

 

 

Also, I saw a bunch of quotes about  "social media"   I used those on my own. They were not asked for.  It is a great way to show as many days together with family

Takes the guess away IMHO   Can't fake 25 birthday parties and when you marry into a big mexican family it is somebody's birthday nearly every other week. 

My wife is big on taking photos.. So we just post them on facebook and it is easy to time and date stamp them.   I just printed them on standard office paper and sent with my applications.

 

Second thing I notices was the 18 month extensions.  We got one after our approval. I think they just mailed to everyone.  I called USCIS and they admitted they mailed to most everyone

and since we were approved to ignore it.

SO I actually never get my 18 months letter extension. Does that even mean anything? 

[immianxiety 8]

What could THIS be?

[wabbajack 0]

Possibly 18-month extension. I just got mine in the mail.

After 18 months of waiting, I finally received the alert from USCIS stated that "My card is being produced" TODAY!!

Like many of you here, I filed for the I751 sometime in Feb 2017, got transferred to Nebraska Center 05/2018. 

 

On 06/2018 USCIS sent me the REF and I had no idea they sent me one until I went back and checked my case mid 07/2018 and was freaking out that the REF did not arrive yet. I called the 1800 numbers, begged and cried ( and also being super nice) to Titer I CS on the phone, got transferred to Titer II immediately and the Titer II CS gentleman was super nice; he faxed me the REF and told me to pack all my documents and sent all in. 

 

Now, interesting enough, my husband and I have been living apart since 2017-ish due to me going back to school, so the entire time, I was worried that they would invite us in for an interview, the main reason was that this would mostly extend the processing time of our case. My husband and I are still married ( for almost 4.5 years) so to be honest we would have no problem with being at the interview. We flew back and forth to see each other every 2,3 months and went on vacations couple times, and I kept all the hotel receipts, tickets.

 

So I started preparing all the docs to send it. I sent all the docs I said above, plus checking+ saving statements ( 3 years), my student loans, car loans with our names on it,  my school's verification showing graduation date and out of state student status, our vet bills, health insurance, our 401K, our living wills, and 300+ pages from Verizon showing detailed calls from 2017 to the most recent month of 2018. The package was THICK, and I feel like I might have killed 100 trees. My beloved husband then brought everything we had to a very experienced immigration consultant to double check our package. She reorganized it a little ( well, it was already organized, because, duh, I prepared it  

Sent entire thing on 7/30 through USPS priority tracking. Tracking showed the Nebraska received our package on 8/1. On 8/2, USCIS updated my status as REF received. Today, they updated that my card is being produced. So I fell that I was incredibly, extremely lucky that it only takes 8 days for them to process my REF.

Pray the LORD!!

 

P.S: The real REF and 18 months extension letter also came today. I can't even.... well I am just so happy!! * happy dance*

I HOPE THAT I AM WRONG, but it does look like an REF to me. I received the exact same thing from the Informed Delivery.
