Looks like a good list. Life insurance policies and wills are great to have for "real life" and in the unlikely event of an RFE. Good luck.

I'll post it again here since im a 1751 December 2016 filer. 

 

Hi everyone! I'll try to make this very easy to understand so maybe someone can help or for those in the same situation. 

I applied for my i751 removal of conditions on residence on December 2016 and also got a year extension letter for my green card. And in January 2017 i had my biometrics taken. So far everything okay. A year passed and still no answer or update on my case other than "fees were waived" which it was never waived because i paid for my application, apparently that was some kind of glitch. In December 2017 i got a i551 stamp on my passport extending my green card for another year, they also took my expired green card. At that point i was aware that the i751's were taking longer than usual to be processed. A few months after that i checked my status online and it said that on march 4th 2018 my case was received at my local office and thats what is there until now. In July 2018 i received a letter extending that stamp for 18 months, instead of 12 because of process delays. So now let's get to the "issues".. it's been 21 months since i applied and i still havent got any kind of uptade, mine receipt number is wac170xxxxxx (apparently those first 3 numbers mean something). In August i submitted an inquire for outside normal processing time and they answer that the case is still pending. Today when i called uscis, the officer said that my case is at the california service center, not at my local office (probably another glitch), she also said that CSC are still working on cases from march 2015, and that it takes from 22 to 44 months to get to December 2016 (when i applied). But in the uscis website it says that they are currently working on cases from January 2017, and i saw a bunch of people here that applied in 2017 and already got their cards. She also said that the law changed last year and the backlog is due to the fact that now EVERYONE needs to be interviewed. But again, i saw a lot people here that just got their cards in the mail without interview, and i also didnt see any law stating that. In their website it says that it MAY BE required. Bottom line is, who knows whats going on! 

So my question is, anyone going through something similar? Anyone that applied in December 2016 that got an answer or some kind of update? 

Thanks!!
