Hello everyone!

 

Quick question... I tried to read as much as I could in the Forum, but I feel like I still didn't find an answer similar to my situation, so I decided to ask...

I filled my I-751 on January 10, 2017. About the 18th they cashed the check and a week later I got my NOA1. Then I got the Biometrics appointment in February, which I made without a problem.

Since then.... NADA... Complete silence. No letter, emails, notifications or changes in status whatsoever...

Is that normal??  Does the process takes about 11 months in almost ALL cases??  I'm seeing with certain HORROR that the CSC has not approved yet people filing in 2016, while the VSC has almost everybody approved...

I can't remember which one is the one for me, but I think is CSC :(

We are very concern, specially my wife...

The reason is because we are a Same-Sex marriage and she keeps panicking that under this new administration they will somehow revoke my GC and I will have to leave.

 

Is this timeline we are experiencing something normal or should we start panicking and looking for another country to move??

Thank you ALL!

There’s no need for you to sweat about anything, CSC is dangerously backlogged barely scratching July 2016 cases. As you can see you still have many months off waiting ahead of you. VSC on the other hand is doing a little better with October 2016 approvals currently. Everything used to be the reverse under 6 months for CSC until backlog generated around late 2016. It has always been a periodic trend that happens in cycles over certain years especially during election times when petitions spike. It has nothing to do with your same sex marriage or this administration. You’re still a permanent resident for all intents and purposes until your I-751 gets adjudicated no matter how long it takes. Same sex marriage by the way is now the law of the land and no administration can overrule what the Supreme Court ruled. The U.S. constitution has checks and balances for a reason between the different branches of government. I’m a December 2016 filer and still waiting since biometrics if that should make you feel better.

I just saw that they updated the processing time for CSC and now is July 19th. So if they keep moving with 15 days per month we should start hearing the results in March-April :( 

Why did you say that CSC filers will start hearing updates in March-April?

The USCIS website says that as of Aug 31, 2017, they were working on cases filed on July 19th, 2016. Now it's in mid Oct, I think that they have stared working on cases filed in Sept 2019, or they are much close to work on it. Just my opinion.

Depends where you live to where you filed. Cant tell you where you filed as I don't know where you live. You shouldn't expect to hear anything until the 12 month mark, if you do you're either going for interview, have an RFE or just one of the very, very lucky ones.  If you are unlucky to file for CSC its around 13 to 14 months wait right now, sometimes more some times less. With VSC around 11 months to a year. 

 

I filed in Feb and like you nothing since biometrics, even though I have changed address since

 

As I say in everything post lately though its subject to change, who knows if CSC will play catch up and VSC start dragging their feet again.  One thing I have done which is invaluable is sign up for Informed Delivery by USPS. That way if the USCIS write to me and they have with my change of address, I don't miss a RFE or interview letter, or approval or such.  

 

Good luck with your approval, I hope it comes to you quickly and without any hassle. Oh and don't worry about the same sex marriage, I know a few people who are and have had no problem and they most certainly will NOT revoke your GC unless you did something really stupid.  It's easy for me to say that, but I think your wife is fretting unnecessarily!

Removal of Conditions..  TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK

 

Time to reset the tick tock clock again.   Roll my eyes.

 

GC  Conditional date:  05/26/2015

N400.  Application:      02/28/2018       

Biometrics:                    02/22/2018

 

Waiting............    Roll my eyes again :(

 

USA citizen as of 25th of July 2018. :)

Have you heard anyone after July 19th 2016 CSC to have green card?

Yes, I heard that someone who filed in July 2016 and was processed by CSC has received her card in July 2017 after one year's waiting.

Just called tier 2 this morning again. The guy insisted that there is no official announced processing time and whatever time I saw is just an estimate. They seriously need to train their employee better.

60 days :/ even then sometimes they just don't respond at all. I put one in once and didn't hear back for 8 months. By then the issue had been long resolved. 

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

I put in a service request online right after the call. Is it different from the service request tier 2 officer places? I used the number on I797 though

Not really, it's their trick. They tell us July 19th, 2016 as of August 31st, 2017 because they count on you think the way you think. That is as if now, mid of October, they moved forward. But if you go to August filers thread you'll see that none of August CSC filers haven't been approved. So their July 19th, 2016 is actually as of mid of October. Hence, CSC September filers will get adjudicated in February 2018 provided that USCIS maintain the same pace: 2 weeks worth per month.
