Update: 3 years and 7 months later, my husband’s green card is finally being produced, 2 days after they received my updated packet per their RFE request.

 

I’m almost afraid to breathe…

Apparently, the new USCIS process is to make the cards, then approve the case lollll

May 19 - Status updates to “New Card is Being Produced”

 

May 22 - Case Was Approved

Not surprised. Their process also is: approve citizenship, complete the oath and then issue 10 year GC:

Can someone here give me more insight into MSC I-751 processing? Is it super far behind other service centers? Curious if cases from mid to late 2021 are getting approved at all, with or without the interview?

 

My I-751 has been at MSC since early November 2021, so about 20 months. Also have a pending N-400, no movement on that either, 7 months and counting. Getting angsty with the wait so just trying to get as much info as possible.

We're approved! Filed Dec 2021, biometrics Jan 2022, no interview, approved May 2023. We received two extension letters during the interval. Update says we should be receiving approval notice in the mail within a couple weeks.

Congratulations!!! I filed August 2021, had my biometrics November 2022 and nothing here yet. Do you also have a pending N-400 or no?

Thanks! No N-400 for us, weirdly!

Hello. I'm sure this is a very stupid question but how do you guys track your case status? I feel like i'm looking on the wrong pages.

 

I have an online account where I had to add my I751 case myself. I always thought USCIS adds it on my online account?

 

And the above screenshot from @OldUser how do you get that tracking? And congrats on your case!!!!

You can check the case status in your online account and the screenshot looks to be from the Lawfully app (but I might be wrong) 

USCIS doesn’t automatically add manually filed cases, so it is a good thing that you added it. What does it say under your I-751? Received or something to that effect?

I use an app called “case tracker” on the iPhone. Easy to use, once you login once, you never have to again. Also offers a link directly to your case status on the Uscis website.

Applied January 2022. Still says case was received

My husband’s case changed to new card being produced today. We applied Jan 2021, biometrics was done May 2021, case status changed to ready to be scheduled for interview November 2021. We received 2 or 3 (can’t remember) extension letters since then. Today I was shocked to see new card being produced. No interview.

Also we did not apply N400 as yet. He came on a CR1 so we were never interviewed in the US
