Hi All, 

 

Our status changed today to "New Card is Being Produced"! Our NOA date is 07/01/2021. 

 

No bio or interview and filed in California. 

 

Good luck everyone, looks like June/July filers are all in the window now! It's a bloody long journey, but worth every painstaking minute of collecting documents and filling out forms. 

 

Best of wishes from my international family to yours!

Congratulations to you and thank you 🎊🍾 🎉

I am kind of worried, perhaps a little lost if anyone has a suggestion I'd appreciate it. 

Sent i-751 July 2021 got the receipt within couple weeks with correct address than in Nov got an update about a duplicate notice was mailed  which turned out to be the 24 month extension letter it was initially sent to us w/o our apartment number, USPS sent it back to them and it was mailed back to me by the USCIS with Apartment Number in a handwritten envelope. I brushed it off (BIG MISTAKE) as a typographical error and assumed they would have fixed it because i confirmed the application had the correct address and when prior to filing i-751 we moved and changed our address which i confirmed was correct as well. 

March 21 i got another letter and a status online duplicate notice was mailed a few days prior.  This turns out to be the Fingerprint appointment letter,
our appointment was on the 14th of March and the letter was mailed to us on the 16th.  When i received the letter we called USCIS to see if we can reschedule, we were told 
they cannot reschedule us because it has to be done before the appointment and usually they resend you a letter if you've missed an appointment.  she verified that in her system the address did not have the apartment number and she couldn't change it but did put some sort of note on it upon request.  She also said to just wait for another letter but when i told her i am worried the new appointment letter will arrive late just like the first one she rudely said "well you just have to wait and see"

She sounded quite uninformed as she said i can print documents online which isn't the fact unless you file an application online!  I did file "did not receive notice by mail" request on Case Inquiry. BUT i am just concerned this will happen again and will lead to CASE DENIAL.  Any suggestions will be highly appreciated

USCIS Implements Risk-Based Approach for Conditional Permanent Resident Interviews

04/07/2022

WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced a policy update to adopt a risk-based approach when waiving interviews for conditional permanent residents (CPR) who have filed a petition to remove the conditions on their permanent resident status. Effective immediately, new criteria will guide USCIS officers on when to waive interviews for CPRs who filed a Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. This update replaces previous agency guidance that required all CPRs to undergo an interview if they obtained CPR status via consular processing. “Implementing a risk-based strategic approach to the CPR-interview process will increase efficiencies that improve processing times, allow for a better use of agency staffing resources, and help reduce the pending caseload while still maintaining procedures to identify fraud and protect national security,” said USCIS Director Ur M. Jaddou. “This update is consistent with agency priorities to break down barriers in the immigration system, eliminate undue burdens on those seeking benefits, and effectively respond to stakeholder feedback and public concerns.” Prior policy requiring mandatory CPR interviews did not prove to be an efficient use of USCIS staffing resources. Under this policy update, USCIS may waive the interview requirement if the agency officer determines there is sufficient evidence about the bona fides of the marriage, the joint-filing requirement is eligible for a waiver (if applicable), there is no indication of fraud or misrepresentation in supporting documents, there are no complex facts or issues to resolve, and there is no criminal history that would render the CPR removable. A noncitizen who obtains permanent resident status based on a marriage that began less than two years before obtaining that status receives permanent resident status on a conditional basis for two years. To remove the conditions on permanent resident status, family-based CPRs generally must file a Form I-751 within the 90-day period before the two-year anniversary of when they obtained CPR status." (Bold highlighting by me)   I am unclear if this is only for those who got their status via consular processing (?) or for everyone currently in line too, but I am just hoping over here they will decide against interviewing us after all considering we already had one for AOS and our case def falls into the "sufficient evidence about the bona fides of the marriage/no indication of fraud or misrepresentation in supporting documents / no complex facts or issues to resolve and no criminal history" category🤦‍♀️

This is great progress for USCIS, it gives us hope our cases are not going to rot away, I’m Lin (Nebraska) service center hoping their 16.5-33.5 months reduces significantly! And also hoping with AOS interview and the overload of evidence they waive and grant us the 10 GC soon 🤞

Saw a letter from USCIS in informed delivery this morning so I checked Anastasia's case status and it has switched to approved!

No 'card is in the mail' or tracking info for it yet though.

WAC/California, so it wasn't much of a surprise (IIRC someone here with a NOA1 date about two weeks earlier at WAC got theirs about two weeks ago, and we have a really straightforward case I think*, so I was pretty much expecting approval this month).

 

* No prior marriages, still happily married, we have a kid, we own a place, etc..

Update: Status is now "card was mailed to me".

Makes me wonder if agents just to get rid of their crazy backlog will just approve, approve, approve? LOL  Whether or not it should be waived.

Lol, to make this more effective, they should set a quota for the agents, process to completion X number of cases per month and get a bonus 😆. Approve, approve, approve  is what we want ✅✅✅✅ and if they issue RFE process the responses quick no lollygagging allowed
