Great news!

If you don’t mind telling us, how long did you wait for the green card after receiving the approval notice?

We got the approval notice today so we’re wondering how long the gc will take.

It should be pretty quick after you get the approval notice. I don't check the mail every single day, so I'm not sure exactly when it showed up in the mailbox, but I think it was probably Thursday of last week. The USCIS case status site updated with a Priority Mail tracking number for the green card on Thursday night/Friday morning, and it showed up on Monday.

Congratulations on all the approvals!

 

CSC is making good progress there 16 approved cases already and 11 cases transferred, 9 being transferred to Nebraska, which looks like they are approving cases a little  faster.

It'll depend on when they do your card.

Our approval notice was April 29th, we received the NOA in the mail on May 4th, and then we have the tracking number for the green card today saying the GC should be delivered May 8th.

Based on the approval letter USCIS prefers to “overestimate” and gives a general time frame of 60 days.

It’s basically so if you call within 60 days they can give you a blanket answer and not have to do anything to your case!

On April 25, few days after filing for N400 my I751 case got transferred nbc Leems summit mo. Is anyone in the same situation?

I filed on 23April 2019, notices says received date is May 2019. Then it got transferred to Nebraska office, nothing heard for few months and then I filed for N400 and this triggered another case transfer on my I 751. 

I read on other forums that this might be a sign for an interview. Any thoughts?

Hi, did you get the Fingerprint review completed status after you received the biometrics waiver letter? If you do they should had finish background by reusing your previously captured biometrics.

 

Do they mention anything about the biometrics waiver letter on your new bio appointment letter? Or why they need your biometrics since they said they waived it?

No status change after the reuse letter or the second biometrics appt letter. I am going in tomorrow for biometrics. Still says "at this time uscis cannot.."

 

New letter did not mention anything about the reuse letter. I am guessing the waiver letter was due to a system bug.  My last biometrics was definitely older than 15 months. Just upset that I wasted a couple months due to the glitch.

This is an indication that they might be combining your I751 with N400 together and you might get one interview in two parts to process both cases.
