[urgent help] CRI-89 and I-751 show different receipt date, which date shall I use when apply average processing time?

[aliceresidentevil 0]

Hi everyone, 

I received two dates on which they received my CRI-89 case and local office received my i-751 case. My first apply was denied due to abandonment. 

My question is when I apply the average processing time, which date shall I apply to? If based on the CRI-89 date(03/02/2017), the processing time is out of the normal processing time. If it's based on the I-751 date (2/25/2018), I will prepare myself for another year to get approved.

Thank you so much!

I-751 receipt number to follow your case now

You use the first date you originally submitted the form which is March 2nd when your case was received to calculate the processing time.

 

The other case number you got was after the fingerprint and that’s the one that has your case was moved to local office ... that’s the one you keep an eye on as it’s the one that would keep changing till you get your approval. 

The first case number for CRI-89 remain static till the end of the process but the second one is the one with accurate status of your case as it proceeds.

 

goodluck

I never got good answer about your case was moved to " local office".  Does it mean field office.  In my case it will be Philadelphia?

Thank you! 

Update - my case got transferred to National Benefit Center (NBC) in order to speed up the process, does that mean I will expect an interview with my spouse at the local office? If so, what's the average waiting time until the interview? 

Thanks!

Your case is already out of processing time, you can submit an inquiry. did you file n-400 while your i-751 is pending?

Yes, I did file for N-400. 

As of last week, my case got transferred to National Benefit Center (NBC) in order to speed up the process, does that mean I will expect an interview with my spouse at the local office? If so, what's the average waiting time until the interview? 

Thank you!

I assumed it will be a combo interview for the case that was transferred to NBC after filing N-400 and with pending I-751. So you should be prepared.

I'm not sure about the waiting time, it might be fall now under your N-400 since your I-751 was transferred to NBC. Good luck
