 I hear you! We've put off our house move on the assumption that I'll get approved around Mar-19 (today's processing times for Oct-17 filers) so I'm definitely thinking worst case scenario. But though I'm preparing for a massive wait, I am watching the i751 transfers like a hawk. It would be amazing to get rid of this stress and get approved within the next few months. This weekend I'm going to start looking at all that's needed for the N400 as I think my window opens for that in Oct this year. 

 

I am confident you wont need to wait that long. These cases are being transfered to local offices where the processing times of these cases will be unknown (unless this changes which will be a good thing for us anyway). They will be under a lot of pressure to get these cases to a decision and very quickly. To me it doesnt make sense that they wouldn't aggressively process these cases knowing that people are unable to track the processing times. Also... guess who reads off these processing times too? ... Tier 1 and Tier 2 agents.. they need updates too. (That could potentially have people waiting indefinitely and ofcourse that is not good)

We're really hoping the approvals come in Sept/October this year and not stretch to next year March. But anyhow, we are also planning to apply for n400 when our window opens.  @GoodbyeGirl would you mind posting what's needed for n400 when you get some info? Thanks!

Here is the link to the N400 checklist:

Like everyone mine has changed from transferred on 02/26 to 03/05. Don't know what the hell is going on but USCIS needs to stop stressing us so much. The very least that they could do is post a notice to let us know what is going on! grrrrrr

I just received an approval letter in the mail without ever doing biometrics. Must be a mistake. I will call USCIS about this

Same boat as you.  Don't want to over think it... and our window to apply N-400 also opens about October timeframe.  So when that day comes, regardless if I-751 is processed... gonna go for it!  Haven't looked into the details yet, but N-400 seems a bit simpler too since it can be done online: http://www.visajourney.com/content/naturalization_guide

Congratulations!

 

Maybe they used your biometrics from AOS? Are you VSC or CSC? And was your case transferred twice like most of us? Any info you can provide on your case will be very helpful.

Is this a I-797C Notice of Action?

 

Can you share the "approval" verbiage on the letter?

Congratulations! Your request for the removal of the conditional basis of your permanent resident status has been approved. You are deemed to be a lawful Permanent Resident of the United States as of the date of your original admission or adjustment of status

Was this a Waiver I-751? usually they get to those immediately. This seems so soon! But this is great news for you! Congratulations!
