1-751 Filers - Service Centers have changed!

[vpalermo85 62]

As a warning, if you're filing today the service centers have changed!  It's a good thing I checked--Vermont and California are no longer accepting I-751 applications.

 

The service centers are now Texas and Arizona.

 

If you live in...	Then file at...
Alaska American Samoa Arizona Arkansas Armed Forces Pacific  California Colorado Guam Hawaii Idaho Illinois Iowa Kansas Louisiana Minnesota Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Mexico North Carolina Northern Mariana Islands Oklahoma Oregon Palau South Dakota Utah Washington Wisconsin Wyoming	For U.S. Postal Service (USPS): USCIS P.O. BOX 21200 Phoenix, AZ 85036 For FedEx, UPS, and DHL deliveries: USCIS Attn: I-751 1820 E. Skyharbor Circle S Suite 100 Phoenix, AZ 85034
Alabama Armed Forces Europe Armed Forced the Americas Connecticut Delaware Washington, District of Columbia Florida Georgia Indiana Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Mississippi New Hampshire New Jersey New York North Dakota Ohio Pennsylvania Puerto Rico Rhode Island South Carolina Tennessee Texas U.S. Virgin Islands Unknown Vermont Virginia West Virginia	For U.S. Postal Service (USPS): USCIS PO BOX 660480 Dallas, TX 75266 For FedEx, UPS, and DHL deliveries: USCIS Attn: I-751 2501 S State Hwy 121 Business Suite 400 Lewisville, TX 75067

CSC and VSC are probably neck deep with their backlog. Good to see that they are distributing the case load.

Vermont is actually the fastest right now at 13 months average to process.

 

California is the worst.

 

I'm an attorney and work in immigration.  Had a funny call with a tier 2 officer and we were discussing processing times for the service centers at the time.  Texas and Arizona right now is listed at a minimum of 15 months to process the applications so we'll see what happens.

Yep--although California did need a break.  Vermont looks like it could have continued to accept new files.

 

It is what it is.

It's hard to predict the I-751 processing time for different centers.

 

It really depends on USCIS' willing.

About the same as Texas right now from the looks of it.

From this news article, it looks like all service centers (California, Nebraska, Vermont, and Texas) will all be adjudicating the I-751s. The change is that they're now going through the dropbox like other petitions and being routed from there. Hopefully it means faster processing times eventually.

Our packet arrived at Vermont TODAY. What does this mean for us? Nothing has been processed, we have tracking on our packet and it just arrived a few hours ago. Do we have to resend?????

Yes, it should be. This change came out today and if they need to move your file or anything, they will notify you, so don't worry.  Note below that Vermont, California, Nebraska and Texas will be the adjudicating offices. A lot of the work is being redistributed.

-----

On Sep. 10, USCIS changed the filing location for Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. This form was previously filed at the California and Vermont service centers. Now, petitioners must send Form I-751 to a USCIS Lockbox facility. However, the California, Nebraska, Vermont, and Texas service centers will be the adjudicating offices. When filing at a Lockbox facility, petitioners have the option to pay the fee with a money order, personal check, cashier’s check, or credit card. Please follow the Where to File and Filing Fee directions on the I-751 page.

California is a joke.  I filed ROC in May 2017 and have just received a second NOA in the mail extending my green card for 18 months from the expiration date on the card because of 'slow processing times' (yes, it really says that on the letter).

 

Sick of this gong show.
