Yes, I also got just one partial file uploaded there. I hope you get your extension letter very soon!!!!

My case also mailed to Illinois! I also saw all the 3 letters that supposed to mail to my home address been uploaded on the online USCIS account. But I still haven’t received the physical copy of the biometric letter in my mailbox yet. I hope we both receive all our letters in our mailboxes soon! In addition, in the evidence part of your Online USCIS account, does it show ALL the evidence that you mailed to the lockbox? My online USCIS account only shows a part of the evidence that I mailed to the USCIS, and I kinda worried that my other parts of evidence was left out or lost. How about yours?

I got the extension letter and online account letter on Monday, but so far I still haven’t received the biometric letter at all. May I know which lockbox did you mail to?

Thanks so much for your reminder of PO Box, and I should seriously think about setting up a PO Box. I found that USCIS online account seems to be updated of my case, and it might take a bit longer time for them to upload all your information there. One thing I was very shocked is that I found out in the online system that USCIS has mailed me a 120 days reminder for filing I-751, which I didn’t receive it because of moving…

Thank you so much for your kind words, which help me relieve a lot of anxiety! Today I also logged into my USCIS account, and I saw all the 3 letters (biometric, online case number, extension receipt) were uploaded there. I want to know, will USCIS in future upload all the important documents there? I move addresses quiet a bit, so I am wondering will our online USCIS account keep updated for our case? Thanks!

I just received 2 mails today: one is the online case number, and the other one is the 48 months extension letter. However, I did not receive the Biometric letter that you guys are talking about.😩 I am just wondering, do I assume that I am going to receive the biometric letter around this week as well? For most of you guys, it seems it is biometric letter comes earlier than the 48 months extension letter. But I did not see my biometric letter at all. Is this a problem? Thank you guys for so much supportive voices and such encouraging powers!

Just want to make sure, for people who file in IL via UPS, is this below address correct? "USCIS Attn: I-751 (Box 4072) 2500 Westfield Drive Elgin, IL 60124-7836" Thank you so much!!

That you very much for your kind words, and I just saw people who mailed out around the same time with me at the same location has already been updated, and meanwhile I have not heard anything back. Do you know how long is the normal time for receiving the confirmation?

But my check has not been deposited yet either...Do you know any potential problems?

Thank you very much for share your timeline, and I am very happy for your progress, and good luck with everything in process! I also mailed my application to IL on 5/8/2023, but since then to now, I still haven't get anything back from them😭 Did your UPS Proof of Delivery show that it was left at front desk and received by a person's name starting with "M"?

Hello everyone! I am also one of the 2023 May fillers, and my applications were sent to Illinois via UPS on 5/8/ 2023. I mailed out my application on 5/8/23 via UPS, and it shows the box was delivered on 05/11/2023. After this, I did not receive any update or message for my case, and my check is not deposited, either. Is this a potential problem? I feel very anxious especially see everyone here has received their confirmation very fast and get update or text message. Could anyone who also mail to Illinois share your timeline? Thank you very much, and any information is appreciated!

Thank you very much for sharing your opinion and help!!!

Just want to have a better preparation for N-400 in the near future

Yes, thank you very much for letting me know this! I just submitted my I-751 one week ago, and now I am thinking about getting FOIA for my next year's naturalization. Is it a good time to request for FOIA now?

https://www.immigrationhelp.org/learning-center/uscis-foia Here it is also mentions that: How Long Does It Take To Get a Response to a FOIA Request? By law, the FOIA office has 20 business days to send an acknowledgment letter confirming your request. Paper notices can take a bit longer if you requested a mail response. However, due to the volume of requests sent to the FOIA office, there is often a backlog, which increases processing times.

Thank you a lot for your very informative explanation!! I did see both ways of FOIA could either unstuck a case or delaying a currently processing case as you mentioned. But I think for a pending I751 application, would FOIA's impact is going to be very small on the future N-400? Because I751 processing time could be up to 48 months, even though FOIA request going to make the pending I751 even longer, but N-400 is a new application that independent from a pending I751. The important thing is that, if I apply for N400 during waiting for a pending I751, then the I751 is not going to be very important, because the N 400 is going to be approved first, and afterwards my I751 status would be updated following the approval of N-400 (I saw most people get N400 approved first while waiting for I751.) Therefore, even my I751 was delayed because I request for FOIA, but the approval of N-400 is going to change the whole situation, is this correct? I also saw this on DHS website: In general, the FOIA requires an agency to respond to FOIA requests within 20 business days after the office that maintains the responsive records receives the request. The business day response requirement is not necessarily the time frame for releasing responsive documents. Does this means most people would receive FOIA in 20 days? Why our forum a lot of people saying the FOIA could delay their application for months or even longer? I am currently super confused, and I really appreciate your ideas!

Thank you so much for your very prompt reply! For question 3, I want to know if there is any discussion posts on this forum or official website mentioning about FOIA requesting during pending 751 could delay Naturalization? I really want to read it into details, and also feel free to share more of your detailed opinions. Thank you very much!!!

Hello everyone, I have some questions about the processing of N-400 application, on the USCIS website https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/, it shows the average waiting time of each field office handles the applications. I want to know, does this processing time including the 90 days (3 months) window that we submit the application? In another way of saying, is this processing time counting from the 90 days window since we have submited the N-400 application, or is it counted from the exact time after we finish either the 3 year or 5 year residency requirement (not counting the 90 days window when we submit the N-400)? 2. If I change to another state to live after I submit the N-400, would this cause extra time processing, I hope someone who has changed address can share their experience, like how much delay it is going to cause? How long does it takes to transfer the file from one regional office to another regional office? Do they completely start over to process my application? 3. For the FOIA request, I saw people have different opinions on its impact on the pending applications. I am currently still have I-751 pending, but I will file the N-400 the next year. Would a request for FOIA NOW potentially delay my current I-751 application? Because I-751 has been super long waiting, so I decide to apply for N-400 the next year, and I want to know would it potentially delay my next year's Naturalization if I request FOIA now? Thank you very much for your interests in my questions, and I hope everyone here have a smooth immigration journey!
