I-751 September 2021 Filers

[VerVer 3]

I think i won t have an interview. 2.5 months is not so long, last year we were gone for 3 months. So for N 400 i will have 5.5 months outside US in 3 years which is more than acceptable.

HI @KelsJosh...were you able to get this sorted out?  Did you receive your card?

Still waiting, no updates yet! Hopefully it will get resent out soon!

You may want to call them and specifically ask to speak to a Tier-2 officer.  Good luck and keep us posted.

Nothing on this thread but, I have seen (on Facebook) 2 cases of people approved within just 2 months. 
 

Not sure what’s going on but I wouldn’t be surprised if USCIS approach to reduce “processing times” is KPI manipulation and not processing all the backlog. I guess we’ll see.

Yup I've seen them too. It's the service centers that differs, I think.

I am so anxious about the silence here. Any approvals anyone?

It has been quiet, but that's to be expected given the slowness and backlogs. It will happen!

As long as you have the extension letter, I 751 is not considered a priority. There are other applications which require all of USCIS's resources.

Your life is the same as having the 10y GC.  All that you can do with the 10y GC you can do with the 2y expired one+ the extension letter.

I beg to differ, I’m an international event planner and many countries do no accept an expired green card as a visa waiver/exception.  Making my job more stressful, difficult, and also losing lots of work thus affecting my income opportunities. I have calculated at least low six figures of lost income. 
 

In several states people have issues while applying for loans, mortgages and even IDs if their green cards are expired. 
 

There is absolutely no reason or excuse why this situation cannot be fixed. 
 

I keep asking myself to be patient but is running low.

That gives me comfort. I may be traveling internationally multiple times due to work and personal reasons. Hence, my anxiety. Thank you for your insight!

There are many reasons... but i prefer USCIS to issues Gc s and other important documents , despite the fact that i am also waiting for my ROC. And of course  to adjudicate my ROC as soon as possible.

I understand your point and painfully have to agree with it, but with an expired GC it can be difficult to start a new job, apply for a DL, mortgage, loan, open a bank account...There is zero reason to take this much time to adjudicate I-751s. We just need USCIS to do what they are supposed to do, which is actually work. The problem is that the USCIS backlog does not make it to the media because yes, there are other pressing issues going on and not everyone is married to a foreigner.
