Yep! June filers are getting approvals now, but the wait is pretty long. With your extension letter your GC is extended so ROC is low priority - you are not affected by a long wait time. (I assume you are talking about ROC).

It depends - just today the first of August'12 filer got approval - of course from CSC. And there are a few applicants from Jan'12 still waiting for their approvals. As per USCIS update, the June'12 (for VSC) and July'12 (for CSC) are being processed, which makes it 8 - 9 months of average waiting.

USA

01/08/13 - Approved and GC is order for production on 1/8/14

09/12/13 - Case transferred to CSC. NOA2 received on 09/18/13

08/30/13 - Biometrics Done - No walk ins allowed at this LSC (received on 8/16/13).

It seems there is no rhyme or reason on the processing times. There are people that filed after me that have been approved, people that filed before me that are still waiting. It's a ####### shoot.

I can understand your frustation but I think at the least the following parameters play role.

1. Where one lives ( CSC is faster my a month).

2. The quality of the one who is assessing ones case.

3. Special situations like Divorce one has.

4. The type/quality of evidences one submitted (inconsitancies in the evidence/ application details triggers RFEs).

Some of Vermont's cases were also transferred to Nebraska (according to the USCIS Twitter) which may explain some of the inconsistencies in timing.

My attorney said some of her I751 cases are taking longer than a year.
