Filed I-751 in October 2015 - Still No Response

[Mezzacalc 1]

Hello Everybody,

I am an October 2015 filer of I-751 (conditions removal), the issue is as follows: no update on my case from the USCIS. I called them a week ago, they said they are reviewing May 2015 filers at the moment, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Does it mean I will have to wait another 5 months for my application to be processed? In that case I have a new problem: my 1-year extension of the green card expires in October 2016 - what if the USCIS still hasn't processed my application by that time? I asked this question to the USCIS over the phone, the person said I should schedule an Infopass appointment with an immigration officer in this case (I can't apply for another extension by mail).

Any suggestions or advice, what shall I do in this situation?

Thank you in advance!

What they told you is true - they are currently processing May/June 2015 I-751 applications. The California Service Center takes 5-7 months and the Vermont Service Center takes at least 11 months at this time.

If you are eligible for citizenship after three years (married to a US citizen), then file for citizenship, which forces them to adjudicate your I-751. If not, at least one month before your GC is up, schedule an INFOPASS appointment at your nearest ASC.

What's your processing center? I-751 has been a mess to some people with year long processing time. With pending i-751, you can make an INFO pass appointment so that they will provide I-551 stamp on your passport with the validity of 1 year in case you need to travel.

Arken,

Thanks for the response. My processing center is Vermont Service Center.
