Hang in there, your number will be called "soon". Everything takes a lonnnnnnnng time. Just wait for the NVC processing. That'll be fun. Also, in my experience, trying to call them is a gigantic waste of time.
Congrats.
My wife passed hers as well. The oath ceremony will be in a few weeks.
on a side note: we just got back from a week in SD. it was fricken freezing! I’ve gotten weak since moving away from SD and my wasn’t too pleased about me eating Mexican food everyday haha.
It took 51 weeks for my wife to get her GC in hand.
Of course, it probably would have been faster if we paid the fee before she came. Sorry I cant remember the name of the fee.
May 2022 here. Got the 48mo extension letter earlier this year (2023).
On a side note, we've traveled internationally a few times with the extension letter. We were never refused boarding or had any problems with with CBP. Although we did get held up a few times when checking in to our flights because the airline had an old version of the I-797 as reference.
My wife was able to withdrawl cash at Citibank ATM's using her UnionPay card in Los Angeles. Most stores also accepted her card. You just have look for the Union Pay logo but it wasn't always 100% accepted.
When we requested a transfer from China to Japan we had to prove my wife was a resident in Japan before the the embasy in Japan agreed to take it. I also had to get the help of our Representative's office involved to push the trasfer along.
Case status finally updated to "Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken"
Hopefully this will be over soon, at least for another 10yrs anyways.
Turns out the letter was for a biometrics appointment. The appointmeent wasn't too far out from the NOA date. However, I had to reschedule since we're still traving. Rescheduling online wasn't difficut to do at all. Trying to call the number on the NOA was a painful automated mess.
The MyUSCIS and case status website still show the case was transfered as the last action.
Nope. It says the same thing it said last year. Maybe it’ll update in a few days. We asked the neighbor to check our mail and let us know.
but, site isn’t working for me at the moment so maybe USCIS fixing it for me 😃
