Some hope for LIN filers. I did not expect to be approved for another half a year at least but today unexpectedly I found out we got approved!
Since they received our petition it took them 5 months! Maybe things are speeding up! Fingers crossed.

LIN filer here, we just got notice that my wife's card was being produced! YAY!

 

As is common, it skipped the Approval step. I fully expect the status to jump around as everything makes its way through the system, just like last time. 

 

For those wondering, 11/16 mailed in, 11/20 receipt date, early JAN 2021 checks cashed, May 28th Biometrics waiver.

I am wondering if anyone in this group had filed their I-751 back in June 2019 and still haven't seen any movement?  I am feeling a bit frustrated because since June of last year our case was waiting for an interview to be scheduled.  I realize with the pandemic things have slowed greatly, but I feel like people who have filed after us have been getting their approval.  Any suggestions?  I can't raise issue yet since it's not out of normal processing times, etc.  Just feeling super frustrated...that's all!

Just wanted to say I’m with you… filed in May 2019. Case has been “ready to be scheduled for an interview” since April 2020. Getting more and more frustrated with the lack of actions we can take and the unfortunate time it’s taking compared to others. Hang in there 💪
