Hey guys,

 

I have a question. Do you know if it's necessary to submit the police certificate with the civil documents? think I read somewhere on the forum that you can submit everything and just bring the police certificate to the interview with you but I'm not completely sure.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hello DesiGirlChicago

I just finished chatting with a live agent and when I mentioned that my PD 10/Oct/2019 was out of processing time (21/Oct/2019) as per for my current service center (texas). She asked me if I wanted her to proceed and submit the Out of Normal Processing Time Inquiry, for which I accepted. She also provided the confirmation number for the inquiry: 
 

Thank you for your patience. Your confirmation number
is XX XX XX XXX XX XX TSC. Please allow the USCIS
office 30 business days to respond to your request.

 

Hope this helps.

 

All the very best

I just finished chatting with a live agent and she said my case was transferred from Nebraska to Vermont on February 23. This is a little disappointing considering Vermont and California have the slowest processing rate, but I was reading on November filers thread that some who have had their cases transferred from Texas and Nebraska were  approved according the the original service center time lines; I hope that's the case for all transfers.

My latest date change was May 7.

Good luck to you all and hope we can see more October filers approvals soon!

Any update on your case? 

My last date change was May 7 too but nothing after that
