Illogical.  The time they now spend on new cases COULD be spent on case which were submitted 3 years ago instead.  Working on new cases first does NOT reduce the number of backlogged cases. 

1.  I disagree.  "More timely"?  Seriously?  It does not change the number of RFEs at all.

2.  Disagree.  The number of backlogged cases remain the same.  

Same effort applied on old cases results in the very same results......You seem to think old cases are more complicated.  They AREN'T!!!  

I would say his points are actually pretty valid. The thing is none of us know what is going on behind the scenes, we can only speculate how USCIS is running the show now and hope this 751 insanity ends for everyone

USCIS has discretion to process applications in any manner they want within the parameters of the law. If anyone believes that the way USCIS is processing applications is violating the law, they will need to ask the federal court to intervene; they would issue a writ of mandamus to require USCIS to correct its actions that are unlawful.

It's crazy to see people getting their cases approved so fast, but I feel happy for them! And bad for the people that have been waiting for 2-3 years or more, that's unbelievable... yet there it is. 

 

I received an ADIT stamp a while ago, which put my mind at ease, and then just today got all three letters in the mail (extension/receipt notice, biometrics waiver, online access) - so I guess it could be worse? Still, that was 3 months of waiting for the basic notices in the mail. 😅 The actual wait begins now!

Also, do not know if it's of any importance, but my case was marked as actively being reviewed twice - once on June 8th, second time on June 21st. Guessing because they finally sent out the mail.

It’s such a poorly run agency. There is no reason anyone should have to wait 3 months for a receipt notice. Glad you have it now!

Worst part is - I have no idea what caused the long wait, so I can't give advice to others to avoid it either! I just remember the Tier 2 officer being as confused as I am. Well, it's done for now, I can relax. Thank you!

Don't quote me but I think I saw someone say some of these rapid approvals are from military spouses and tend to get ushered through quicker in some cases. 

i think its silly that they are approving military spouses like as if US is at war. There is no reason that military spouses get this priority. its not like they are fighting for the country. pretty ridiculous though

does anyone know why the USCIS Notices tab isn't showing on my account for my i751?

 

It shows up on my i131 two years ago but not showing up on my i751.

 

I never got the online access code as it was just automatically added to my uscis cases 

 

 

Same thing for my I-751 case in my online account as well. Did you figure out a way to fix this?

I don't have that tab either! Wondering if anyone does for their I-751...

This is a stupid question but can someone explain to me why some people have IOE receipt nr.? IOE means = electronically, right? How is that possible? Did they change anything recently?

I’m a military spouse and mine is still pending. But this is a poor take on your end.

its not really.  what is it that entitles a military spouse for priority. Its not like the spouse is participating in war 

[Ellie_7 103]

Is there any official source or data backing up the notion that the I-751s approved in approx. 3 months is exclusively due to a military spouse being involved in those cases?

There is no entitlement. And you should know that the only ones getting priority are those living overseas because they obviously need to be on 100% legal status. But even then, mil spouses living overseas don’t even need to do ROC. They can expedite citizenship for them. For us mil spouses stateside, there is absolutely no priority whatsoever. But even if we did have any, it’s still a poor take on your end.

Not really because Mil spouses living overseas can jump straight from AOS to expediting their citizenship. If a mil spouse goes through ROC they are living stateside and have no priority whatsoever. We are going through the process like everyone else. The only cases I can think of is the spouse getting orders to go overseas in the middle of the process and then (maybe) getting it expedited but I don’t even know if this would be true

They are now scanning the paper applications upon receipt, this allows them to process the applications electronically, hence the IOE numbers for physical paper applications.
