Are VSC files from May and June moving ahead toward approvals or are only the CSC folks from May and June getting approvals?

Also, who is filing N-400 while waiting for an approval from VSC? I am looking for solidarity. :jest:

I've seen a couple CSC approval.

 I want to file N-400 so bad but I think I gonna wait for couple months to see if I can get the 10yr card first; since my local office for N-400 has a long processing time period.

Very few or a couple approvals, vsc is far behind now

 

my eligibility starts early June and I’m tempted to apply, but will probably wait a little so I can study for the civics test lol  if it was a multiple choice test I’d go for it right away.

 

Recent reviews of my local office puts the n400 adjudication within 6 months so I could potentially be done by the end of the year. Tempting but still not sure yet.

 

If you do apply, please let us know.

 

Good luck

Thanks to both of you. I think I might also hold off on it a bit because I read that in the Boston Field Office sometimes immigration officers have not done N400 interviews because I751 was pending. This might be mostly because these officers did not know the rules properly. Perhaps it is best not to take a risk and encounter unnecessary hassles. Waiting is wiser, like you folks.

I checked processing time on this website for my local office. It's not 100% accurate . so then I looked up timeline of people from my local office. You can type your local office city on search there are forum for that office specifically on here so you can keep up with others journey .

First post on my whole journey from the I485 to i751.

I filed i751 way back a year ago and now I am, just like everybody else here, waiting to see the final result.

 

Last digital activity I received was an email from USCIS told me that " We are still reviewing your case and there are no updates at this time"

Last physical activity I received was the NOA1 telling me that they might NOT need my fingerprint.

 

Cross the finger, I have a strong feeling that I will get the GC without the interview and so do you guys.

We've been through a long journey and this is "endgame".

Welcome to the forum.

A long journey indeed, all of us are hoping for GC without an interview.

Are you a Vermont or CSC filer?

Hello Beddy,

Thank you for the warm welcome.

I am not sure which location it was sent to. Our attorney handled everything for us. 

Is there anyway to check that with case #?

my wife's case was transferred to new office yesterday! Is that bad or good?

I also got a notification yesterday for this. Waiting to see what the letter says.

I guess the good/bad part depends on where it has been transferred to.....
