Hey peeps!   Still lurking and virtually high-fiving the approvals as they come in, and cheering on those still waiting..... 
So now
Here's  screwy update for ya..... So I got the 10 year card for myself, and all three approval letters (daughters and myself) at the same time. No further word about the kids' cards......  I finally call USCIS (UGH) this morning. After spending 25 minutes going through the verification of details and being put on hold after every other question, the rep finally says she's going to open a ticket for each daughter because their cards were never sent to production!!!!! **banging head on wall***    So I'm right in between - celebrating the receipt of my card, but still in the waiting game for my daughters.......

Slightly Off topic - But to my Canadian friends in this thread:
 
I got my renewed Nexus card! It arrived on the date that it was expiring. No interview needed. I applied in Aug/ early September, so it took ~2-3 months to arrive. Had to activate when I got it and I updated my green card info online as well.

I'm sticking around for my July peeps!  
 
From the very beginning we knew we were all walking blindly through this process. You need to keep your faith as numbers all around yours get approval.  One day yours will come!
It has too, right?!

Wow these systems are way out of whack but as soon as it is GOOD NEWS , s'ok with me!
 
Got text that my case had status change so I went to egov.uscis site / entered WAC # and it said my case was transferred to a new jurisdiction on Jun 27,2018!  And  I thought snail mail was slow ... :-).  Went to myuscis site and got another notification that card was mailed  Oct 27.
 
Picked up mail. PRIORITY MAIL envelope !  YESSSSS PR card !!! I was not expecting this until sometime next week the earliest.  I did not get any email notification with tracking number either as others said they got. 
 
Amazing ..that is all I can say !
 
Sending good vibes to all! 
 
 

So my new card came in today (yay!), the approval letters for myself & daughters... but no word on their cards!! Ugh!!

got an email today from uscis. we received 10 year gc already
 
 

My status changed, "New Card Is Being Produced".
 
CSC: WAC17298xxx
NOA Date: 07/26/2017
N-400: No
 
 

Today I received an email notification stating that my USCIS case status has changed - "Card Was Mailed To Me"!!  Finally the wait is over! 😊😊
 
NOA1 07/26/2017 CSC WAC17298, have not applied for citizenship yet (I will soon though, now that my I-751 is approved 😃) 
 

And now for something completely different ( at least for me.Nudge nudge , wink wink, say no more).... Yes all at once!! I looked on Friday night and nothing. 
On Saturday morning,   saw email from noreply@uscis that they did something?!! ( Must admit I was nervous to go check!) and VOILA!

 
Summary:  CSC/WAC17293xxxxxx/ July 27 2017 I think i751 submitted.   Waited over 1 yr to hear that they can reuse my on-file fingerprints. Got 1yr infopass stamp as in the morning then received the 18mth Extension letter in the afternoon Aug 17. No RFE. And now, this Oct 26,2018 . Now I wait to receive the actual 10yr Green Card! 
ps: shouldn't it be that case approved then card produced?! But I don't care as long as I got it! :-) 
 
Thanks for all for the being there!  For those waiting, your turn soon! 
 

if it helps anyone else to kind of see what numbers uscis is at with approvals, my number began with WAC17299XXXXX, I was approved and card went into production on 10/23/18, original application sent in 07/27/2017

Guys! I was just checking the case tacker to see if they worked on any WAC17293 cases today, and noticed someone’s card was being produced. And guess what! It is MY number! Logged in online and tadaaaammmm! 
I haven’t applied for citizenshsip and never got an RFI, they used my old biometrics. I didn’t get any emails or text updates either. Still can’t believe it! Woah! 

WAC17299 and still waiting. Did not file N-400.
 
I held off for so long, but I am now following cases before and after mine... so far 3 I've seen approved. I don't know why I'm following as I know it's not necessarily in any order, but curiosity got to me!!

Hi everyone. I checked the USCIS.gov status today and it has been updated to say: "On October 23, 2018, we ordered your new card..." I didn't have to go in for an interview. I filed July 27th, 2017, was informed on August 2017 that my old biometrics was sufficient and didn't have to retake it, February 2018 my case was transferred to a local office, and I got an extension letter in August 2018. My window to apply for citizenship just opened and I will apply once my new card comes in the mail. Good luck to everyone! 

Green Card in Hand today! Total of 6 days from approval on Oct 17th to Oct 23 2018 received by Usps mail delivered to address! We are officially done with this!! Good luck to the rest of the July 2017 Filers. Have faith and good things will come! See u guys in N400 fourm! 

Wow this was fast.
 
Got news from tracking app the USPS has mail that contain my new GC.  My guess it arrives tomorrow.  I cannot believe how fast mail travels in the USA.  In Canada, we pay through the nose for postage and it takes forever for mail to arrive.  

We keep getting notifications that we are still reviewing our cases - have our green cards since mid of Sept. 
 
My friend received her 10 years green card 3 months after she got her US Citizenship
 

We have been approved, were notified that the card is in the mail, and received a USPS tracking number.  I just checked the USPS website and it is out for delivery.  Does anyone know if a signature is required for delivery?  I believe that it is but no one has mentioned this recently (that I can find).  Thanks for any info you have.

Fat chance of that happening for me.   He hates the weather (so do I frankly).   
One of the main reasons pushing me to get it  is acquiring his social security benefits should he die.  And should that happen I will need that income to maintain survival.  I'm not about to return to the work force in my senior years.  I haven't fully investigated this but from what I understand, PR's don't qualify.

This is kind of my thought too. The only other thing that makes me consider naturalization is if my husband and I want to move to Canada at some point. I would hate for all this money and waiting to be wasted. It also would be nice to be done with USCIS, but for now I'll just wait and finish ROC before making decisions
 
 

I know most people dream of being US citizens,  but I really see the only benefit is that I no longer have to deal with immigration. 

I'm probably will at the 5 yr mark. I'm Canadian and know I wont lose my Canadian citizenship,  but it still makes me uneasy to say I will relinquish all other citizenships to become a US citizen 

So my new card came in today (yay!), the approval letters for myself & daughters... but no word on their cards!! Ugh!!

We're not applying either. I'm a German citizen and don't want to lose my German citizenship so I need to file for retention of German citizenship before I apply for us citizenship. 

okay, so I go out with the hubs for happy hour and trash happens.  what the heck went down folks?
 

green card received today. See ya in 2028!  unless we file n-400
