No I have not heard anything since our Biometrics appointment also.  Any updates from other people would be great.  Wondering at what point should we worry.

I think the next step after Biometrics is either approval, interview, or RFE.  I read that the CSC processes in about 6 months (from initial submission), so it should be done around April if you don't have an RFE or interview.  If you look at the older "filers" threads, 6-7 months seems accurate for most people.

Weird. I had send in my application with a fee waiver request. It was denied. I resend the application with the checks. They cashed them. Now, I'm checking online with my EAC number and it says that my fees were waived? What?! No it wasn't. And, they spelled my name wrong even though I had pointed it out when I send the application the second time. Now, I'm going to get my biometrics done today so I'll fix the name. But why would the website say my fees were waived, when it was denied. Anyone else experienced it?

It's just a glitch. It's the same for me

Hi everyone,

 

You all have filed your I-751. I will be filing now, so needed you help.

In the I-751 form, have you all left empty fields as blank or have you put NA there?

Please let me know :)

 

Thanks guys!

No update here still. The waiting is driving me crazy. I wish I'd know if my interview is waived. Interview + GAD/panic disorder = bad.

I don't think that it will. The President's immigration ban bars all people living in Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from entering the United States. So, since this forum is about people wanting to remove conditions on their Green Card, if you're already living in the U.S. and have your application in process, it won't affect you. That's what it sounds like to me anyway.

I know it won't affect me personally, I just meant delays in our applications because of the backlog.

Hey, still no updates here. I had my biometrics and also filed to change an error in my name that they had made. Also changed my address, as we were moving. No updates on the website besides the change of my name.

Now, I'm looking to travel to my country for a couple of months with my baby as I have family who wants to see him. I'll just bring my expired Green card and my extension letter correct?
If I get an RFE or interview date, then we'll fly home.

Anyone suggesting otherwise?

AOS from F-1, maintaining status

August 2010 was introduced to each other during a visit in NY.
01/14/2012: Arrived at JFK with F-1 visa with the intention of studying for three years, and then do OPT. Intention was not to get married!
Yet, almost five semesters as a full-time international student later he proposed ...

04/07/2014: Married in Queens, NY

06/26/2014: I-485, I-130, I-765, I-131 and supporting documents sent to Chicago Lockbox via USPS Priority.

06/30/2014: USPS states delivery happened 6:50 am.

07/07/2014: Received NOA of I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765 dated 07/02. --- What a great 3-month anniversary gift!

07/15/2014: Received Biometrics appointment scheduled 07/31, in Long Island City.

07/31/2014: Biometrics done. Process took 45 minutes. 99% was waiting time. Awesome people working there. Good experience!

08/06/2014: Case i-485 updated to Testing & Interview on uscis.gov - - Yay!

10/10/2014: Interview at Long Island City. Took no more than 10 minutes. Was simple, normal questions. Was approved on spot.

ROC

10/07/2016: USPS stated I-751 was delivered. Also sent in fee waiver request.
10/19/2016: Got everything back, with denied fee waiver. They misspelled my name. Makes me wonder if they even read my application. My name is all over the papers.
10/25/2016: Sent in ROC (I-751) again, with USPS.

Actually that's true.

 

I am a June 2016 (CSC) filer and ever since the new administration got into office, there has been a SIGNIFICANT slow down of cases. Only a single June 2016 (CSC) filer has been approved. About half of May 2016 filers have not been approved yet. May 2016 filers are now at 9 months and June 2016 filers are in our 8th month.

 

From the look of things, it looks like the new processing times are now averaging 9 - 10 months even for CSC. Hopefully, it's not as a result of a new directive issued to USCIS by the new administration.

 

~AOS : 09/11/2014 - 2 YR Green card received!.

~ROC 07/13/2017 - 10 YR Green card received!.

~N-400 : 10/28/2020 - N400 Interview & Approval/Oath Ceremony/US Citizen!

 

More Importantly, I am a proud Anti-Fascist!

I don't think any I-751's have been processed in a while at CSC.  I've been watching the June filers thread, nothing has been approved for them in months.
