Absolutely, I have regrets. I went the k1 route and would absolutely do the cr1 now if I had to do it over again. Our k1 visa took 10 months (at the time cr1s were taking 12 to 14 months). We filed for AOS and EAD/AP in January....,my husband received his EAD/AP on June 30....he has not been able to drive or work or travel (outside the US) for 7 months......and even now worries about the travel because he doesn’t have the green card.....so absolutely YES......I wish we would have done the CR1

A thread for April already exists.  Merging this one into it would be messy, so the participants above are asked to reproduce their input from here into the existing thread.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Finally! 10 year gc receive today! 😁😁😁 filling citizenship next month! woot woot!

Hello everyone! 
Just wanted to let you know that USCIS just released ANOTHER platform to report the average Case Processing times.
Here it says that I-751 average processing times for CSC is 17.5 to 19 months  and VSC is from 12 to 15.5 months 
 
Here is the link:  https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
 
I guess for my sanity and peace of mind I should just accept the fact that I won't get any reply from USCIS until September 2018.
I am a CSC filer (March 17, 2017).

I know for a fact DHS is updating everything more accurately than the regular site because a close friend of mine is adjusting status and he opened a DHS account and added his case numbers, 3 days ago DHS updated his work permit to approved and card mailed while the other website still says they received their case and that’s it

Thanks all for the congrats. Here’s to fast movement on all of your cases!! 🍻🥂

We received our Approval letter today, dated 3/13/18 VSC

Just got in from my Infopass and the immigration officer was very nice. NYC FIELD OFFICE
 
So she explained to me the CRI-89 Receipt Number from the biometrics is actually what we should track as the I751 receipt number is really an internal number for officers so they understand the wording of everything. she explained to me however thats why all the received at local office for the I751 number has been showing up. She explained to me that at the internal level the "local office" that the case has been received at is actually Vermont in my case and California service centre for others being that its for form Removal of Conditions. She explained that the files have been in storage for a whole year but until the immigration officer needs the files they will request it Or a bulk and when a worker sends it to them it will come up as Received by Local office so its no longer in a vault but actually in the office to be processed. When they start to work on it that update might come again and do remember they are in bulks so updates might not show up same time. She told me when the form gets transferred you will get a "Transferred to new office and that office has jurisdiction for your case" followed by the notice in the mail. She told me for internal matters the local office for each form is where u filed it based on your address. However the Local Field Office for a person is based on zip code. so local office goes by form and where they are filed and Local Field office is by your zip code. there was so much more I learnt from her however I don't want to bore you too much so I explained as much as I could. I went there for the extension stamp and was given a 60 day validity stamp as she said the system showing that I had a DOB and Name update a few days ago and yesterday my case was approved. also I was told most updates tend to show up  2 to 3 days after its entered into the system. So Im now waiting on my approval letter in the mail which she assume I will have by Monday. she wanted to print the approval for me which I didn't know was possible however it wouldn't allow her as the approved hasn't updated on the case status site yet but she could see I was approved.

Hey guys I just saw that I got approved on the my.uscis.gov website. So excited!!!!!
 
Now just to wait for the letter and then card in the mail.
 
 

Ok ladies and gents, I've been following this forum without actually having a username. I feel like i should offer my information too instead of just leeching.
I am a september filer also, received the february 26 case moved thing, then 2 updates on march 8 that my name was changed and date of birth were changed which is strange because i never did either of the two. Called tier 2 officer Friday, he said it's possible someone made a mistake on their end with my name and that's why the latest update could be them correcting it.
 
Today i noticed this message when I use the account log in website because the check case online one is still on the march 8th name change.
March 9, 2018
We approved your case
Read the notice we mailed you for more information
If you do not receive your notice by April 08, 2018, send us a case inquiry and select that you did not receive your notice by mail.
If your mailing address changes, update your address with us.
 
 
Now I'm not sure if this is an actual approval or just the case transfer was approved like I've read somewhere else. The message seems pretty clear with me but you never know. So now I'll just have to wait for the notice and see what's going on or even give them a phone call Monday.
 
When i was talking to the tier 2 officer he was saying that it appears from 2 different sources that my case was sent either to the National Archive something in Missouri and the other source said it was sent to my local office. He said it's either getting approved and that's why it's sent to the Archive place to be deposited or because the local office doesn't have time for an interview and i would have to wait another 6-8 months. Keep in mind that i was a divorce waiver filer. That conversation was yesterday, and today when i checked i saw the message above.
 
I'll keep you updated with the notice and thank you all for sharing your info, it definitely helps, i'm sure many more people use this resource without getting registered with a username and actually being active on the forum.
 
Sorry for the typos and such, i wrote this message quick.

I called USCIS. T2 called me back. They said to be patient and call again in April if nothing is done.
 
What is happening? Are they all playing golf with Trump?

So they called me back  and said I am going to get an interview notice because my file has been transferred to a local office. This is ridiculous. We shall see
