Congrats!! I received my 10 year green card on May 11th. I can relate to the excitement to have it finally in hand!!

I would advise to try a different office/officer. I actually removed work authorization restrictions on my green card recently. I had an expired green card with an extension letter for removing conditions. The first office I tried had about 3 hour wait line. I said no way I am waiting that long. So I went to a different office that was 5 miles away from the original one. They had no line and the officer was super friendly and helpful. Did everything in 10 minutes. It did not look like he had to check anything in the online system. Try a different office. Good luck! 🤞 🤞 🤞

No, I am in 25XXX range.

Hello! I submitted my i-751 case on December 3d, 2021 and today, after 17 months of waiting I finally got approved. Woo-hoo! It has been a long -XXX wait... Approval came in at midnight on May 4th Maybe something to do with Force. It appears WAC started working on December 2021 cases, so hopefully everybody who submitted their case in that month will get approved soon. Good luck!

There indeed have been approvals in upper ranges. There are more approvals/RFEs and less i-751 cases left to review in 27xxx range than in 24xxx range. It is hard to figure out how USCIS decides which cases to approve first, sometimes it looks random. I did see consistent approvals/RFEs in 23xxxx range and in 24xxx range, and some movement in 25xxx range in the last few weeks. This suggests to me that both our cases should have a decision soon.

It looks like 67 I-751 WAC cases in lower 24xxx range and 132 I-751 cases in upper 24xxx range have still not been reviewed. Even though today's reviewing pace was nice it is still far from the pace needed to keep I-751 processing times from increasing. Considering WAC receives 120K cases of all types a year, it needs to review a thousand cases every 2-3 days to keep pace with incoming cases, which translates into about 100 I-751 cases a day. Current pace is a far cry from this. Still hope they will finish 24xxx range soon so they can start working on 25xxx (early December) cases. This is where mine is :)

Congrats!! And thank you for sharing. This is encouraging!

It is March, 15th.

I have received a 48 month extension yesterday, March 18. WAC filer, December 2021. It seems like USCIS sends them in batches. If you haven't received yours yet, don't despair! It most likely will arrive this or next month.

It does not surprise me anymore. They could be trying to improve their processing times. Approving more recent cases would result in lower time it took to approve 80% of the cases. Or some of the approved cases in 26xxx range could be people who applied for citizenship and got their removal of conditions approved. Unfortunately I do not know what happens to i-751 petition status once n-400 is approved. I assume it gets approved but no green card is issued.

No surprise given the pace they have been reviewing the cases. Given that WAC receives around 10,000 cases a month it has to review 1,000 cases every 2 business days (10,000 cases/20 business days in a month) for processing times to stay what they currently are. For at least i-751 cases, the ones I am tracking, this pace has been about a quarter of that.
