July 2020 I-751 filers (merged)

[Salty2305 504]

Is anyone else so frustrated with the lack of progress? My USCIS case status has been on stuck on fingerprints applied since July 22 2020. My packet was received on July 3rd and I got the 18 month extension letter in July 14th. I've requested more info online and was told there is no update. I've called the contact number several times and the automated service will not let me talk to an actual person no matter what I say. Is anyone else in the same boat or have any advice?

Mine has not updated since November, stuck in "Case was transferred to new Jurisdiction".

I've also tried calling USCIS and cannot get ahold of a live rep.

I am getting ready to file my N-400 next month but I would really love to have the 10 year green card coz I don't have a valid ID at this time.

Has anyone else had their case transferred to MSC (National Benefits Center) but never had biometrics taken nor fingerprints reapplied? My receipt number is a WAC (California Service Center) number, but it's now at MSC. Haven't heard a word since. The letter said the transfer was "part of standard processing" - I've seen some people get that and some get "for faster processing". I requested they waive the interview in my cover letter and submitted a TON of evidence, but it seems like there's no real way to tell whether or not you get an interview.

 

We originally filed I-130 and I-485, I adjusted from an O-1 visa to green card, we had AOS interview, and were approved with no issues in October 2018.

Case number starting with MSC here.

 

My ROC was received by USCIS on July 29, 2020. I had my biometrics appointment on September 17, 2020 and my case hasn't moved since then.

 

On May 10, 2021, my husband and I decided to call the USCIS Military Help line to see if we can request for an expedite on my ROC. My husband is active duty and will be deploying soon. We weren't sure if USCIS would accept our request. To our surprise, a few days after we called, we received an email stating that they are honoring our request. Once they receive my file at local field office, we will be scheduled for an interview

 

On May 27, we received a call from USCIS informing us of the interview schedule at the Louiseville Field Office.

 

Today, June 4th, we had our interview and everything went quick and smooth.

 

 

Below is my timeline:

 

 

July 25 -  Form/Documents mailed via UPS to address in Lewisville, TX 

July 29 -   Form/Documents received by USCIS

August 10 - Received Text message with Receipt # (MSC) at 1am

August 10 - Check was cashed as per Bank

August 15 - Received NOA (dated August 7)

September 4 - Received Letter for Biometrics Appointment

September 17 - Biometrics Appointment

October 1 - Case was updated to show fingerprints were taken and has been applied

May 10 - Called USCIS Military Helpline to request expedite on ROC

May 13 - Received email from USCIS honoring our request

May 28 - Received a call regarding interview schedule

We filed for ROC around mid July 2020 to the Phoenix lockbox.  
extension letter received end of July 2020.

fingerprints taken December 2020.

Dead silence ever since….

next month will be one year we filed ROC.

The original 2 year GC was awarded based on filing through Juarez Mexico consulate October 2018.  Feels odd so many people that filed at the same time or after are already getting their GC’s and we are stuck at not knowing when we get ours.

Filed mine in July. I got the extension letter few weeks later. In August fingerprints have been applied. Nothing since. 

All we can do is wait. My extension letter is valid through 03/22 so is my driver's license. I think I read somewhere here about the possibility of extending the letter. I need to ask about that. 

You're not alone. Good luck!

Is not odd, there is a reason why. Your category is CR1, it means you had an interview at the embassy not with USCIS. Almost everybody has to have an interview with USCIS at some point. People who adjust status inside the country have to go get interviewed then and those who didn’t because they got their process through an embassy, have to go through an interview for ROC. So the delay is actually at your local office, they first have to process the cases they received before yours and then they can move ahead with your case.

So essentially they penalize people that did the process the right way by waiting in their own country instead of coming here on a tourist visa, getting married and adjusting status?   I know the K1's have to adjust status because they are entering on a very short visa.

How are they penalizing? And what do you mean by the right way? The law allows to apply to adjust status just like it allows you to apply from abroad. For AOS I had a very long wait almost 2 years before we had our interview. This time the wait was shorter. Everybody have to be interviewed by USCIS at some point, some have a long wait at the beginning and some others at the end. There have been exceptions but they are rare. So the point is that if you are waiting to be interviewed, either for AOS or ROC the wait is long.
