So the long timeline isn’t related to you. I am speaking of the people who are waiting for 2+ years to even hear something back 

I know, but I just wanted to give some feedback on some of the statements you made. New forum members could get additional (unnecessary) anxiety when they read your statements.

Well I do give you this much, VJ forums are more about anxiety than help, speaking from my first hand experience. However, my opinions about this particular topic are taken directly from the forum’s beloved lawyers, if logic isn’t something people trust in.

 I have no evidence at all to even suggest something so sinister.

Perhaps you should look into some of Jim Hacking’s videos

I have watched many Jim Hacking videos, including your experience.  I have seen no evidence to even suggest that USCIS intentionally tries to cause marriage problems for people by delaying I-751 processing.  That would cause themselves more work.

When you have a paranoia which is very common in immigration issues, it festers in the personality, employment, vacation all of which are impacted thus causing a conflict with the USC that has none of the issues.

Nah, if your marriage (or anyone’s) has ripples, it’s not because of USCIS. 
If you’re a LPR it’s not like they can deport you if you don’t get in trouble. And there are circumstances you should absolutely avoid, like a DUI or a DV charge, but not just because of immigration, it’s because LIFE. I have a pending 751 and I’m able to live my life and do pretty much everything (except voting and applying for certain jobs and loans and whatnot)

Please point us to ONE Hacking video where he says so. I watch his shows every single day.

It’s truly insane how long these are taking to process. And one wouldn’t be wrong in saying that it’s intentional to cause ripples in a marriage.

How could it?   

 

It's more of an inconvenience than anything.  Conditional GC holders have exactly the same rights and status as 10 year GC holders.  A marriage that is going to suffer while waiting out what amounts to a benign process would have issues anyway.

For a process that use to take 3 months, the fact it now takes over 2 years is embarrassing.

Thats one. Pretty sure I saw a similar, more recent one. From my first day here until now even, the misinformation people (the usual suspects) spread here, the ego they have where they feel like some lawyers because they read an article or two…good God…

@Mobius1 I wanted to reply earlier to acknowledge I've heard it too from Mr Hacking in his videos. Do I believe some marriages are affected by immigration process delays? Absolutely. Where there is uncertainty involved, there may be stress and amplified anxiety, affecting relationships. Do I think this is intentional? Maybe, but we don't have a proof. Jim H. also tries to sell his services on YouTube, so I would take it with a grain of salt. It's just his opinion after all.

Let's not get into heated discussions over such nonsense.

 

 

You are absolutely right.

 

I apologize guys if I have come across as combative. Immigration matters just hits us all differently, some more than others.

we are all in this together for a better life we deserve.

I see no need to get a stamp unless a person needs to travel or show proof of status.  Her status does not expire when the extension letter does.

Can you tell me how you made an appointment for your wife?  We need to get a stamp in my husband’s passport in order to extend his DL here in Georgia. When I went online, it states that you can no longer make an appointment online and you must call. Was that the case with you?  Also, I can’t find a number for a specific  USCIS office (Atlanta) and only see a general number. Thanks for any help.

You call the USCIS number and say "infopass" to get a live agent and request an infopass appointment.
