LIN filer still waiting. Getting anxious when we see more and more LIN filers getting approved. The online status still shows 'We received your case', even though my wife did biometrics on July 2nd.

I applied Nov 1st Nebraska. Already many LIN/november filers approved who applied after me.

I started wondering if the post-biometrics review speed has anything to do with the applicant's previous status/visa type. (hypothetically, K-1 is slower?)

Could be.

My guess is that the Immigration Officers are assigned batches of multiple forms, since this is a Service Center. (I-485, I-751 etc) and some officers are faster, some or slower.

 

I see that yours was received on 10/29, mine was received one day later, 10/30.

 

Our cases can be with the same IO, collecting dust on a desk.

Hello!! A friend of mine filed his I-751 in July 2018 (California Service center) and he just got his approval...

So I believe that means that October filers will start to get approval around December 2019.....

Happy here! We received an email from USCIS that action had been taken on our application and to login to see details. I began praying super hard. Well, our prayers were answered. When I checked our status, the websites both said that we were approved,  the permanent card was mailed, and to call if haven’t received in a month to be sent a duplicate card. The next day we received the card in the mail. The next day. 

 

My my husband and I are beyond thrilled about how our processes have gone so smoothly and seemingly ahead of the typical time.

 

Thank you Visa Journey!!

Congrats!

In our case, we do not have children, bills together, a lease, a mortgage, etc. We do not pay rent since we live with his parents. We sent a cover letter stating what we were including and then a long letter explaining why we did not have children or property in the US together (we basically explained my husband's debt and bad credit made it a bad time to try to get a loan for stuff like that and that we were using this time to save and travel a bit). This is the cover letter we sent:

nothing yet. We were late by 2 days on the Fingerprint due to being out of the country. They did take my wife and K2 for the finger print though. Since then nothing. Nebraska is the service center. Thought this was an open and shut case given that we have 2 children together and our finances are co-mingled as well the K2's last name was changed to my family name so we are all one big happy family. November 7th will my wifes 3rd year as GC. Thinking of applying for Citizenship then. Any drawbacks if I do it now?
