    teamsomour got a reaction from Name O Boy in I-751 February 2017 Filers, Part II   
    thanks @badouba18 and @Name O Boy 
     
    We went to the USCIS office and was able to get an I-551 stamp.  They originally tried to turn us away because they were at capacity but luckily they let us stay. It took forever but at least it's done.
     
    I wonder what the next obstacle will be to get this 10-year GC as it seems like there is always something going wrong...

    HAPPY UPDATE!
     
    We received our approval notice in the mail yesterday!!!! YAAAAYYYYYY. 
     
    So after the weird "we corrected your name" and "we corrected your birthdate" case history updates, the next one we got was "We approved your case" - that was posted March 9 and we received the letter in the mail March 12.  No interview.
     
    If people want to track their case online, register for this site: https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/.  I think this one is actually being maintained and updated in real-time, as opposed to the uscis.gov website, which still just says "Your case was transferred to your local office" when I checked.
     
    Now to wait for the actual green card to come in the mail...
     
    Good luck to all those who are still waiting on approval. I think they should start coming in very soon!

    LOL. I think this makes you the sane one. Trying to keep up with all the changes/updates makes my head spin.
     
    I'm going to follow your example and not check...at least for a week. Hopefully by then I'd have already gotten an approval notice in the mail. One can dream... lol

    Call me crazy! I decided to go the other route and not sign up for online account and be blissfully unaware of all the mixups and confusions of USCIS and just wait for either a snail mail from them or go by confirmed mail actions for other members. Just thought that everytime USCIS did the transferred on 26, transferred on 5th, fees is waived, name is changed, it was not worth my blood pressure to raise and fall. Oh lol 😂

    Still no approval for me
    But thanks to this forum I was made aware of the OTHER uscis website (https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/) and checked my status there and saw more information than usual. Instead of the "Your case was received at a local office" message that many people have gotten, I saw the below.  
     
    Anyone else have a similar case history?  What does it mean that my birthdate and name were corrected? 
     

     
    And lastly, thanks everyone for taking the time to update us all about your findings and your case statuses! This forum has really helped me in many ways - from spreading information and just general support - as we all go through this excruciatingly slow process.

    I have news I want to share with you guys first. Today I went to my mail box about five minutes ago and there was an approval letter dated 20 Feb from the Vermont center/centre.

    teamsomour reacted to Brainstormer in How to get an appointment on infopass   
    Hopefully this will help those that are having a hard time scheduling an appointment on infopass
     
    You probably have seen this message "Currently, there are no available appointments. Please check again tomorrow." every time you try to use infopass to get an appointment.  Like you, it was very frustrating because it seems like there just isn't any appointments no matter what hour of the day you try, and even if you do get lucky, the appointment date seems are weeks away.
     
    Here's what I did to get an appointment and hopefully it will help you too. 
     
    set up an auto refresh and website change detector on your browser, you can find this add-on/extension to notify you as soon as the webpage changes.  I use chrome and the extensions I added is called SuperAuto Refresh and Visualping. 
    go to the infopass page where you see the message "Currently, there are no available appointments. Please check again tomorrow."  and set it to auto refresh.  then set Visualping to monitor to check it every minute.  it will notify you with a pop up when the page appears with appointment dates. 
     
    I did this while at work, and while I was doing other stuff on my computer, a message popped up and i was able to get an appointment. 
    couple thing i noticed was, it gave me an appointment that was 2 days from now, which I was very surprised.  but I screwed up and hit back and that appointment date and time was gone.  my guess was someone canceled so there was a spot available but because i was too slow someone else took that spot.  so, make sure you stop the auto refresh as soon as the appointment calendar pops up so it doesn't refresh again.
    Another thing I noticed was that for 2 days while I try this, the only time it appeared was in the morning between 8am to 10am Pacific time for the Los Angeles USCIS location.  It didn't appear for the rest of the day while I was working and had it running the whole time.
     
    I need to get Advanced Parole, but the dates didn't work for me, so I still ended up just showing up at USCIS without an appointment.  They didn't seem too happy that I didn't get an appointment but still took me in.  Your mileage may vary depending on where you are, but hopefully this info will help someone who need to get an infopass appointment.
     
    It also seems like it doesn't matter which USCIS location you go to.  At the LA County USCIS, there's 2 lines, one is for those that are within their jurisdiction (they check by zipcode) and another is for others, maybe trying to get an appointment at another location or set two browsers with on autorefresh and try to get whichever appointment is the earlier one..  Good Luck.
