Did you get one those general updates that your file was sent and received at your local office before the approval?

[G Walters 136]

Yes we did see that update in the system prior to the approval.

Thank you. It seems everyone gets that. It’s so frustrating because you get so much misinformation even from USCIS itself. But from what was explained to me and what makes the most sense is that the cases go to a service centre and are reviewed and marked with an A, B, or C. A being easy to approve. B is a so so and C is likely requires an interview and then sent to field offices

 

Technically all I751s are required for an interview but the field offices are able to waive this and almost all As are waived, most of Bs. 

 

But then you hear from some people if it goes to the field office it’s a for sure interview and then others that the centres are just full so.

 

so much info. 

What bonafides did you send? It’s been so long since I sent I’m second guessing if I sent enough

It seems from your timeline that it took about 17 months for the ROC to be approve
