July 2016 - still waiting

[JerseyyyK 20]

Hi. I'm a July 2016 ROC filer and am still waiting. I am pregnant and my due date is in July. How far in advance can I get a new extension stamp in my passport? 

 

Had two service requests and one info pass appt in January at my local office.

If you applied July 2016 you're almost 2 years out from filing so you can get a stamp now. Unusual because VSC is processing at 12-15months.

VSC mailed my case to my local office in August 2017 as I was told in my service request. But online it says my local office received my case in March 2018.

The only reason for them to transfer your case to the local office if you submitted N-400 known as Application for Naturalization. Did you submitted N-400?

No, that's the normal process I thought. You file at the service center and they at some point mail it to your local office. I did not file for N-400.

It's not normal process if you dont file N-400, your i-751 is still with VSC if you still lives in New Jersey. Your case is almost 2 years pending already and that is odd.

When did your submitted the SR?

I know.

 

I submitted one service request in October 2017 and one in January 2018.

Their reply was "You contacted USCIS regarding your I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence [...] on August "" 2017, the Mt Laurel field office received your file from the Vermont Service Center. Your file will be reviewed on the next available date and if an interview is required, you will be notified by mail. [...]"

 

I also went to an Infopass appt in January at my local office cause I was wondering if my case might got lost. They said I should hear something by March...well now it's may. 

 

I have two EAC Receipt numbers.

 

One says "on July"", 2016 we received your Form CRI-89, Petition to Remove Conditions of Permanent Resident Status [...]"

 

and the other number says "On March ", 2018 we received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, [...] at your local office."

Not makes sense, if they transferred your application to your local office then you will be scheduled for interview so prepare all your evidences. Good luck

for the I-551 stamp you can request now since you will be due on July. If you can't find available slots online, you can visit the local office, they should accept you given your situation being pregnant and will be due soon.

Thank you. I actually just read posts in the ROC area about USCIS centers transferring I-751 cases to local offices cause of the workload.

Actually, they only transfer your application to the local office if interview is required for them to gather more information by conducting an interview about your case.

majority of the applicants that met the requirements on ROC do not require interview and immediately proceed to approval.

So many of us got that same notification around March 5, 6. Even though it said so, it did not necessarily mean that you case got transferred. It may have meant that it got transferred from the "locked box" to the "USCIS agent's desk" to be reviewed.

Your timeline is surely odd. I am VSC March 17 filer, I got the same notification on March 5. RFE on March 28 and got approved on April 14.

 

Good luck!!

I had my infopass and they said that I indeed am waiting a long time already. My local office got my case in August of last year but they had a visa stop for a little bit and that could be why it is taking so long. My theory is that because of the Visa stop new cases they got mailed were maybe put on top of mine. My case is with an officer now and this person decides for an interview or not but she said it doesn't mean I need an interview only because my case is at the local office.
