I 751 was received in local office 3 months ago

[stp314 1]

My wife's I 751 application was received at the local office in March, and we haven't heard anything yet.  We originally filed it at the California service center back in November.  I was just wondering if anyone has any info.  Maybe we're just getting impatient.  

Thanks 😀

You're getting impatient.

 

Processing time for California is currently 18 to 20 months.  So you probably will hear something next spring or so.

But csc already sent it to my local office, which I assume is Cincinnati since that's where we have done biometrics before.

Doesnt really matter. Honestly. I filed July and my case is in "local office" since April.

Ok so is the paper they give you to keep with your expired conditional green card sufficient until everything is processed?

[Roel 7,191]

Read what the letter says.

No, but it sufficient is for the first year from the date of expiry of your card.

I've been waiting since August 2016. There's nothing to do but wait.

 

Once your one year extension is over, simply schedule an InfoPass appointment for an I551 stamp for re-entry/show work eligibility.

Don't worry. The hardest point is getting the appointment. Once you do that, bring in your letter, green card, etc. And they'll issue you a stamp. Don't get worried if they take your gc, just make sure to have copies.

Yep, it's a long wait. When we applied, it was a six month processing time.

Once your year is up, if you need a I551 stamp, Cincinnati is pretty easy to get appointments (they don't take walk-ins).  Every time we looked at the infopass available appointments there were plenty.

 

I551 stamp was a 10 min process.

 

The "transferred to local office" message is generally meaningless.  

Look for the "Transferred and New Office has jurisdiction" message.  Ours moved to NBC Less Summit MO from CSC (May 2017 filer) after we filed concurrent N400.  No info since April on I751 but N400 interview scheduled for July.

 

Good luck.  Cincinnati seems to move fairly quick.  An April N400 filer actually got his interview appointment a month before us.  Only other Cincinnati I have seen

 

I751 - May 2017

N400 - Mar 2018

Transferred to Local message - March 2018

Transferred and new Jurisdiction - April 6 2018

Transferred and new Jurisdiction (Again)- April 10 2018

Transfer notice letter arrived (NBC Missouri) - April 16 2018

N400 Interview July 2018
