No approval or interview yet. Will let this thread know first when we get one, or when we file N-400, or WoM, or withdraw.  

From the looks of things here, and the status of limbo everybody is in (October filers), I think the N400 will be our exit strategy and to finally get rid of this headache called USCIS. 
 

My wife can file N400 in late August, I believe. I think we will have my wife a US passport before I751 interview gets scheduled for 2023 lol. Sheesh. Her best friend just did the N400 and it took her like 4-5 months I believe. At this rate this is our best option, for my situation.

Yep. I saw it too. OP was surprised as well. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for them, however, it is unfair… most of us have strong cases and show be approved shortly, too

Check out the evidence. 
 

 

Birth certificates of children born during the marriage, petitioning spouse is in the military, affidavit from someone serving in USAF, joint title on several real estate properties.  
 

Our evidence isn’t nearly as strong.  Cut and dried cases like that should be cleared quickly.

Sometimes cases have too much evidence too.  Your filing must have been massive.

Excuse me, sir? Don’t mess up with my six pounder!!!! 
Hahaha you’re right. I just felt it was better to provide extra evidence because my husband (USC) has a son from a previous relationship, which I didn’t know I had to list on the I-485. So I did list him on my i751, and provided extra relationship evidence in case they want to flag us. 
I feel like my package is sitting on a desk and that the officer must be like “I’ll get to this beast later on”.

I have a question and I'm just throwing it out there.  Did it ever occur to people that Doublepike is full of it?  Spewing out something that didn't really happen?  This is all on the honor system, no proof required.  I would say the majority on VisaJourney are legit and honest about their statuses but this person could be someone with just enough knowledge of the immigration process and the VisaJourney website to be dangerous.  He/She could be among that small percentage who got rejected at some point by the USCIS and is here to exact revenge out of spite.

 

And before you question what I'm saying, asking why would anybody do this, ask if humans are always rational.  Sometimes people do things just to get under someone's skin.  If this person does in fact exist, is legit and did get an I-751 approval in record time then congrats.  However, I just thought I'd ask the question.

This is a weird take. Through every phase of our immigration journey we have encountered people with unusually fast approvals, just as we have encountered those who wait an exceptionally long time. Doublepike posted screenshots and genuinely seemed shocked.

If true then congrats to Doublepike and I did check out his/her profile a short time ago and he/she has at least been around for a while.  Sometimes I see posts that are... to me... specious.  You go to some of the profiles and find they haven't been around long, have only a few posts.  No timeline created.  Other suspicious things.

 

Yes we have seen a wide spectrum of turnaround times.  You are correct.  It's just that I have come across select posts that have made me wonder if what the person has written is legit.  Maybe the mailbag with Doublepike's application in it fell on the right desk at the right time.
