Ciao, my case seems to have been approved!

The online status says “On January 14, 2023, New Card Is Being Produced. “ Today is still 1/13 though🤣

Yes, interview was waived.

Visa Journey’s approval estimate was May 2024, so I didn’t expect this at all! I suspect this is mistakenly updated by USCIS!😇

 

 

 

8/5/22 Packet arrived at Phoenix

8/9/22 CC charged

8/10/22 Text message (MSC case)

8/12/22 Received 24mo extension letter

8/27/22 Received biometrics notice

9/9/22 Biometrics appointment

9/10/22 Case status changed to “Fingerprints were taken”

11/1/22 My GC expired

1/13/23 Case status changed to “On 1/14/23, New card is being produced”

Wow we have very similar timelines and submitted to the same Dropbox and were sent to the same Service Center. No movement after biometrics for me yet but I'm wondering if I dare be slightly hopeful due to your story. Regardless, congratulations on getting through the process so quickly!

Congratulations! Maybe one more data point for the risk based approach yielding these ~6 month turnaround cases?

 

JenIE - hoping your case is similarly speedy!

Congratulations!!!

 

I remember we filed around the same time and to the same location. So far, no news on my end (not even biometrics appointment, only case received/extension letter).

 

Congrats again! Hoping to hear more updates like this form the August filers 🙏🏾

Lets pray the risk based approach is here and these are not anomalies. Happy for you. What was your center?

Thank you 😊 

I’m still suspicious until the actual card arrives.

It’s frustrating that we don’t know processing time for MSC cases. I hope your case will be approved soon!

My center was National Benefit Center at which you don’t know processing time.

I came to USA with CR1, which usually requires an interview. I saw a Japanese person who got a GC without interview even through I-130 & I-485 process. Her American husband didn’t file tax return properly though. I do believe they’re doing the risk based approach.

How about trying this request?

[JenIE 401]

Well maybe they are doing more risk based assessments! My husband's case status changed today as well! If this status is true, we got approved in a little over 5 months with no interview!

 

We sent to the Phoenix Dropbox and were assigned to the National Benefits Center (MSC).

New Card Is Being Produced

Looking forward to my husband getting the card in the mail and being done with forms and waiting for awhile. It will also be nice not to take that extension letter on trips -- we had an extremely easy time getting back to the US from Dublin over the holidays, but it's one less thing to worry about when traveling.

Wow, congratulations🍾

Hope everyone gets approved soon too‼️

It really seems like cases are moving along! Hoping others start to see some approvals as well. Curious how long it will take for us to receive the cards in the mail.

Why is it that MSC/NBC is the only one doing it?  There are people from January 2022 and months in 2021 at other service centers that are stuck and waiting.  They are not applying this across the board.

@stephbd Try this.  But, just a heads up, I have submitted two already (the second one after the first one expired) without a response and both are expired.  USCIS is useless.

I did try this! I think I already submitted 2 or 3 requests (that’s how long it’s been lol) and nothing.

 

Happy for the MSC filers! Hope other centers can provide updates soon too (mine is Potomac…)
