Finally, after 22 months my greencard is in production. Had my interview yesterday and was a great experience. The officer told us we only had an interview because I didn't have one for my AOS and that they want to do interviews for most I-751 cases now, especially for the ones who didn't have an interview before. Other than that the officer told us we had a great case and tons of evidence.

Thank you for the update.

Honestly, I found the info that the agent gives us at the infopass a bit bizarre.

All agent at each different location would say different things.

My agent when I came told me the exact stuff I saw on DHS LOL so I was like whatever.

For your case, at least you knew it's with someone now, I hope it gets moving as it's better slow than nothing. I am skeptical about the visa stop though (my first time hearing it considering your office is Vermont too)

Let's wait and see what next...

I guess all you (and I) could do at this point is to wait more and more.

I am nowhere near having my 10-year GC in hand yet  xx

 

The officer meant visa stop at their local office not Vermont as far as I understood. Cause my case is at their local office since last year August. Which is the same information I got from 2 service requests earlier. And I got another extension stamp so I don't have to go in July, my third extension in this process lol.

So many of us got that same notification around March 5, 6. Even though it said so, it did not necessarily mean that you case got transferred. It may have meant that it got transferred from the "locked box" to the "USCIS agent's desk" to be reviewed.

Your timeline is surely odd. I am VSC March 17 filer, I got the same notification on March 5. RFE on March 28 and got approved on April 14.

 

Good luck!!

I had my infopass and they said that I indeed am waiting a long time already. My local office got my case in August of last year but they had a visa stop for a little bit and that could be why it is taking so long. My theory is that because of the Visa stop new cases they got mailed were maybe put on top of mine. My case is with an officer now and this person decides for an interview or not but she said it doesn't mean I need an interview only because my case is at the local office.

Thank you for the Info and congrats to you! I just made an infopass appointment and see what they say. 

Interview is fine too just please before we have our little one here.

for the I-551 stamp you can request now since you will be due on July. If you can't find available slots online, you can visit the local office, they should accept you given your situation being pregnant and will be due soon.

Thank you. I actually just read posts in the ROC area about USCIS centers transferring I-751 cases to local offices cause of the workload.

It's not normal process if you dont file N-400, your i-751 is still with VSC if you still lives in New Jersey. Your case is almost 2 years pending already and that is odd.

When did your submitted the SR? 

I know.

I submitted one service request in October 2017 and one in January 2018.

Their reply was "You contacted USCIS regarding your I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence [...] on August "" 2017, the Mt Laurel field office received your file from the Vermont Service Center. Your file will be reviewed on the next available date and if an interview is required, you will be notified by mail. [...]"

I also went to an Infopass appt in January at my local office cause I was wondering if my case might got lost. They said I should hear something by March...well now it's may. 

I have two EAC Receipt numbers.

One says "on July"", 2016 we received your Form CRI-89, Petition to Remove Conditions of Permanent Resident Status [...]"

and the other number says "On March ", 2018 we received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, [...] at your local office."

The only reason for them to transfer your case to the local office if you submitted N-400 known as Application for Naturalization. Did you submitted N-400?

No, that's the normal process I thought. You file at the service center and they at some point mail it to your local office. I did not file for N-400.

If you applied July 2016 you're almost 2 years out from filing so you can get a stamp now. Unusual because VSC is processing at 12-15months.

VSC mailed my case to my local office in August 2017 as I was told in my service request. But online it says my local office received my case in March 2018. 

Hi. I'm a July 2016 ROC filer and am still waiting. I am pregnant and my due date is in July. How far in advance can I get a new extension stamp in my passport? 

Had two service requests and one info pass appt in January at my local office.

I am still waiting after sending my RFE response at the end of November. 

Did you contact your congressman? They would be able to get a response much faster. 

They generally do i751 interview if you got an interview waiver for i485. 

I would say call a tier 2 officer and contact your congressman as soon as possible just in case any notice got lost in the mail.

Hopefully they approve yours soon too. 

My case status online still says the same as 18 months ago, that they received my application. Had my biometrics done in August 2016 and after my first service request I found out that my application was mailed from VSC to my field office in August 2017. Since then nothing. I'm waiting to see what my second service request is going to tell me, if the same as my last one then I am most likely contact our congressman. Tier 2 officer didn't tell me anything other than what I already know. 

anyone still waiting? Even infopass appointments are not available at the moment. Sent another e-mail request 2 weeks back.

18 months and counting...my friend who applied 6 months later (VSC and same field office) than me just got her approval letter. Slowly I have the feeling that they might lost my case.

still waiting. It's at my field office since end of August. 

In two days it's going to be 16 months...

I submitted a service request in the beginning of October cause obviously it's outside of normal processing time. Got an email that my case was mailed from VSC to my field office end of August 2017.

NOA July 11, 2016 VSC

 

I submit a service request this morning and: 

 

Thank you for your request:
USCIS will review and process the request
Expect a reply by October 31, 2017

 

I am surprised by the short waiting time... I mean it shows like this to everyone? Like One month (even less than a month) or it is just my case?

 

Yeah looking for hope in every detail

for me it said the same expected reply which is great.

Just do a case outside normal processing time request. They will reply within 60 days 

That's what I did this morning. 

My NOA1 date is 7/26/2016 and I had my biometrics in August 2016. I just checked the VSC processing times and it says that they're processing August 15,2016??

Random: Ich vermisse die deutschen Bäckereien

 

Insbesondere Mohnschnecken 

Kann die Baeckerei im whole foods empfehlen. Die haben super Brote. (falls ihr einen bei Euch in der Naehe haben solltet.)

My Noa date is 7/26/2016 VSC and still waiting. 

Hi everyone. 

Ich wollt mal hoeren ob hier  noch wer ist der im ROC process ist? Mein NOA1 ist der 26/07/2016 und mein biometrics appt hatte ich am 22/08/2016 und seitdem heisst es wie immer warten :D. 

Liebe Gruesse. 

Tabea, hab gesehen dass Du nach NJ ziehst. Ich lebe seit 2 Jahren in NJ (auch K1). In welche Gegend ziehst du denn, wir leben im Monmouth county. Alles Gute euch allen!!

Danke euch!!

Bin seit langem mal wieder hier online. Hab ne Frage an alle die ihre Greencard nach 2 Jahren erneuert haben, wie viele Monate vorher sollte ich die Formulare abschicken?

Viel Glück an alle die noch auf ihre Visa warten!!

Hey! ich hab den den gleichen Brief Mitte Januar bekommen. Und ich hab bisher immer noch nichts gehört! Mein Noa1 Datum ist Anfang Oktober.... Ich hab gewusst, dass es womöglich lange dauert mit der Greencard, aber mit +9 Monaten hab ich ehrlich gesagt nicht gerechnet. Ich hab Ende Mai eine Service Request zu USCIS geschickt, weil mein ''case outside normal processing time'' war und ich besorgt war, dass sie meinen Antrag irgendwie verloren haben oder so. Die hatten mir dann geantwortet, dass mein Antrag vor kurzem erst ans local office geschickt wurde...Falls du also wissen willst was los ist, kannst du das mal probieren. https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayONPTForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=onpt

Hoffentlich hören wir beide bald mal was...haben ja mittlerweile lange genug gewartet

Hey du hab gestern dann endlich meinen welcome letter bekommen und die permanent resident card wurde auch abgeschickt . Nun erst mal wenigstens fuer eine gewisse Zeit Ruhe mit dem immigration process. Hab gesehen, dass du deine permanent resident card nun auch endlich hast.
