When was your case transferred to Nebraska ? How long after the transfer did it take for the approval to come through ?

We received RFE and I sent the response yesterday. Now waiting again. Case was transferred to Texas

We got "We are producing you card and will mail it to you..."  status on DHS website on August 1. And then on August 2, it said "We approved you case". Is this information /website legit?  

 

The EGOV website's status hasn't changed from "On March 5 we transfered you case to the local office". And the status on Case Tracker corresponds to EGOV website.

 

Which website is correct?

I'm a November 2017 filer at CSC so I'm 10 months behind but would like some advice from you folks. Applying for the n400, should I avoid that altogether? Or still go for it? I'm reading more and more now that it's actually delaying the whole process where more than a year ago it sped things up

I'm an October 2016 filer and still waiting on a decission for my I-751. I didn't file the N-400 yet. Have an interview in about 10 days.

 

Some say it will delay and some say it might speed up things.

In the October 2016 group someone told us if you file a N-400 online it is processed quicker with a few months over a paper filing.

It’s been more than 94 days since they transferred my case to NBC Missouri, because I filled for N400 while I 751 still pending, should I get an appointment with my local office and see what’s going on?

Probably not a bad idea but you should be getting close. My I-751 was transferred to NBC missouri 96 days ago and now I have a N-400 interview in 2 weeks.

I started an inquiry (without checking the processing times that have been updated now to 20-22 months) early July, 61 days after my transfer to the NBC. Within a few days I was notified that my case was still pending at my local office and within the time limits and could expect an answer within 120 days. A week later I received my interview letter for next week.

 

So I guess it can't harm just to start an inquiry.

t is not worth it. They will hardly tell you anything useful. You can go but they will just tell you what the system says. 

Once a transfer happen, they will say you have 6 months from the transfer date before you can consider it outside of the normal processing time. 

 

What is happening is that they number of officers handling cases was cut due to the administration cutting budgets to limit immigrants getting in and staying in order to avoid having their influence in the next elections. As a result, the processing times and work load increased and so all cases are now taking longer and longer.

You should totally do it. First off, it won't hurt. Second, if and when you get approved, you will have both done or your wait time for Naturalization will have dropped.

I applied for both as soon as I was eligible and now I am a citizen. It took 20 months total.

Both are correct. some pages just are not updated correctly but any new status update is correct.

I-751 cases have always have had the lowest priority, The influx of 'illegal' immigrants might take up resources that otherwise would have been assigned to the 'normal' immigration cases.
I started an inquiry on July 2nd (61 days after my transfer to NBC) without looking at the processing times. I knew it was 17-19 months but didn't check when I started the inquiry. July 12th I was assigned an officer to my inquiry case and the same date received a response by email. Seven days later I had a appointment letter stamped July 18th in the mail.

Text of the email contained beside my request info the following text:
 

The status of this service request is:

 

Thank you for contacting USCIS concerning the above-referenced application. Below is a summary of what we have found and how the issue has been resolved or additional actions required.

 

What We Have Done

USCIS has reviewed your Service Request.  According to USCIS records, your application is still pending at the Field Office.  At this time, we anticipate you should receive a decision or other notice from USCIS within 120 days of this notice.  Please be advised that posted processing times are goals based on Field Office averages.  These goals are subject to change and can vary from office to office.  We apologize for any inconvenience caused by delays in processing. 

 

USCIS is committed to adjudicating immigration applications in a timely manner, efficiently and in the order received.  We hope this information is helpful.  If we may be of further assistance, please let us know.

I still assume that starting the inquiry stirred up some things that sped up the appointment scheduling. My transfer to the NBC stated 'to schedule an appointment'

I received my green card on July 27th! All the best for people who are still waiting.
