    There are two approvals that occurred January 10th and 13th in 11XXX range. I don't know whether those cases also had RFEs or interviews or were just pending prior to approval. Good luck!

    @Elena & Craig I see not so many pending cases in 11000 range left. Mostly the ones which had RFEs, interviews scheduled and some "forgotten" cases stuck on "Case received" status.

    I haven't filed N-400 and have no urgent need to do so, given my other citizenships. So will likely let I-751 play itself out.

    First digits are the same for many cases across various service centers. The last 5 digits is what I'm reporting on. E.g. cases WAC22900XXXXX where X is unique number for the case. Examples: 22XXX lower range is WAC2290022000 to WAC2290022499 22XXX upper range is WAC2290022500 to WAC2290022999 The reason why I report on 500 cases at a time, is because the app allows searching up to 500 cases in one request. It takes sometimes a few minutes to update all case statuses. I hope it helps!

    Something is better than nothing 🥳 I believe these are rain drops before it starts pouring eventually.

    Hi @Sanjayt if you're ready to file your filled forms, you need to go to the bank and ask for money order. The amount for them should be the sum of all fees for the forms and $85 for biometrics. 1. Pay to the Order of This is the field for who you are paying to. You need to write: "U.S. Department of Homeland Security" Be careful, DO NOT use abbreviations like "USDHS" or "DHS". 2. Your Name & Address Some money orders give you this optional field for providing your name and current mailing address just in case someone needs to contact you. 3. Dollar Amounts Make sure you write the correct filing fees on your money order.

    OK, what I mean is, there are tools to check 500+ cases close to yours and they're statuses. You can filter cases by type, e.g. I-485 or I-130 and see what happened to cases similar to yours. I am not taking about Visa Journey timelines.

    @How Odd have you checked similar neighboring cases in a tracker app such as CaseTrack for Android? Have those cases been approved or they're still undecided too? E.g. what I'm suggesting is checking whether your case is an anomaly or it's the norm.

    Update for WAC as of 12:45 PT today: 1 approval and 1 RFE lower in 21XXX range 1 approval in lower and 1 approval in higher 22XXX range!

    Did you take printouts from relevant official sources stating you're eligible for RealID? Did you ask for a supervisor? Did you try other DMV location?

    No, that's not the reason one could get their LPR status taken away. You're not responsible for USCIS and for their IT system generating erroneous reminder. If you're not required to file I-751 by law, you shouldn't file it even if USCIS sends you an auto generated reminder. You can call USCIS and discuss this situation with Tier 1 / Tier 2 officers to ensure everything is up to date in their system. It's possible your I-751 reminder was printed and put in a warehouse for sending out months before you actually got it. It's hard to know how exactly they operate.

    In case if they accuse you and put you in removal proceedings, you have the proof to show in immigration court: - Copy of old 2 year GC - Copy of 10 year GC - Copy of I-90 and all I-797 associated with it's receipt and approval - Copy of your I-485 and I-797 associated with it, including the interview invitation and approval notice. - Copy of your passport, visa and stamps in it and I-94 If you have doubts whether you should have had a 2 year or 10 year card you can consult with a lawyer.

    Not so reliable then. But maybe accurate enough to get a general sense of how things are going.
  14. OldUser
    You expect a little too much from USCIS. If you have copies of I-90, old and new GC, you shouldn't worry about I-751. You have supporting docs showing you were issued conditional GC by mistake. Keep them safe.

    You should consult another lawyer, now that your circumstances changed. It looks like the first lawyer did not do a good job estimating when your case was going to be approved VS when divorce was going to be finalized.

    Unless you went through customs and immigration in China, Japan and Korea you should not list them as visited countries. If you exited airport, then yes, list them.

    @Stein it is a legitimate concern, but I don't see anything you could do to make USCIS decide I-751 and N-400 quicker. File strong cases with plenty of evidence, using correct forms and fees. That way the chance of RFEs and processing time is reduced. You can see processing times here https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

    You should have received emails about your case from embassy. Inspect those, as I'm not even sure which embassy is your case going to be sent to. Any contact information provided by forum members here may be out of date. Mailing addresses and emails change. Thus, Google search can help finding the most up to date information. You can also chat to USCIS / call them to find out where to send emails to.

    It's impossible to know upfront. It can take up to 6 weeks to receive I-751 extension letter. Biometrics can happen any time in the process, but usually between 1 and 6 months after USCIS receiving the case. The first time USCIS respond IS the time you get extension letter. You don't know which service center is going to take the application and even if you knew that upfront, there are fluctuations there too. Each case is unique.

    Maybe with risk based approach your application could get approved quickly, who knows? A lot of people are waiting over a year or two, but since you're planning filing N-400 it shouldn't matter too much. You don't need approved I-751 to apply for N-400 when you qualify. Whether N-400 will affect I-751 that's another question. Basically, you are in the mercy of USCIS and pretty much nothing you can do to speed it up, so why worry.

    Unfortunately, DHS and US immigration system in general is harsh. Mike E only gave you a preview of a cold shower your mother may receive at US Embassy or from CBP while trying to enter the States with intent of helping you with a newborn.

    Can take up to 6 weeks. Remember USCIS don't work on public holidays and Sundays (I think they work on Saturdays, though not 100% sure). This month had at 2 public holidays and 2 Sundays so far.

    That's nothing and you should not worry about it. You need to be living in the US for 30 months out of 60 in the last 5 years, which you did. You cannot spend over 180 days overseas on any given trip without breaking continuous residency, which you didn't.
  24. OldUser
    Yes, you can travel overseas as long as you have your unexpired green card or I-90 with I-551 stamp in passport. Yes, you can continue working (and change jobs) as long as you have unrestricted Social Security Card and valid state ID/DL. You can travel domestically with valid state ID/DL.

    Fascinating, thank you for the update.
