so approvals/results are faster if you apply for N-400? i don't even plan doing it.. that would suck if that means i have to wait long because i didnt apply for citizenship right away...

you can check the processing time on uscis site. You can only submit inquiry once the date of your NOA is already beyond the processing date

you can search all cases starting with 17236, so you might be able to get a little sense how things going with your group

searched at least 10 people within my case number (including mine) and:

3 Got their GC

1 RFE

3 card being produced

and 3 (Im one of em) has case received.

my case number is #17236XXXXX and still waiting for an update on mine..

Last email I got was they said they touched my case file May 21st.

my sister lost her green card but has the I-551 stamp (she was travelling with me), so she was sent with me to fall in line.. and we both didnt get to go to THE ROOM. I guess we were lucky.. 

Just go straight to the line and not the kiosk because what happened to me was I was sent to the kiosk and desk back and forth because one guy (works at the airport) keeps telling me i have a greencard and i should be in line at the kiosk.. and then the guy at the kiosk tells me to go to the desk because I have an expired green card. and it happend 3 times.. I had to look for a different guy working there to confirm where I should go.

Just sharing.

I traveled last year and my green card was expired.. All they needed from me was my Passport, Extension Letter and My Expired green card. Had no problems at all.

Coming back is just a pain, because you don't get to use the kiosk by just swiping your Green Card, you have to fall in line where the officer takes a look at your documents. Had no problem there too. It was just the line that is a bit of an inconvenience.

same has been happening to me whenever I use my phone. Ty for the info

I just checked the cases that surrounds me, and 4 before me had either card produced or RFE and one after me has gotten approved. 

I wish I get status update soon. Fingers crossed it's a positive one.

I would go if I were you, I dont trust USCIS timeline, they keep on changing their processing timeline out of no where, they don't have definite timeline, they will change it as long as they want for their own convenient.

Along with what Lemon said... 

I think they are right. but you might also want to consider that they may turn you down once you get there and they may tell you that they are sending you a new I-797 notice which would make driving all the way out there a waste.

Can you maybe wait about 2 weeks for this notice and then maybe schedule another info pass if it never arrives?

https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/update-form-i-797-receipt-notices-form-i-751-and-form-i-829

I'm now a little torn if I should go to the USCIS office tomorrow (which is a little far where i live, the one close to me didn't have any dates available).. My GC expired 07/03/2017 last year, so that means my gc extension letter is until 07/03/2018 (If still considering the 12 months validity, correct?) I am going to travel though between October-November, should I still go to the infopass? Or are they going to turn me away due to this new bulettin? And if I don't go, how do I cancel my appointment? 

What should I do?

As of June 11, 2018, petitioners who file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, or Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status, will receive a Form I-797 receipt notice that can be presented with their Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card, as evidence of continued status for 18 months past the expiration date on their Permanent Resident Card.   We are making the change from 12 to 18 months because current processing times for Form I-751 and Form I-829 have increased over the past year.   Additionally, we will issue new Form I-797 receipt notices to eligible conditional permanent residents whose Form I-751 or I-829 was still pending as of June 11, 2018. Those Form I-797 receipt notices will also serve as evidence of continued status for 18 months past the expiration date on petitioner’s Permanent Resident Card.   As a reminder, conditional permanent residents who plan to be outside of the United States for a year or more should apply for a reentry permit by filing Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, before leaving the country. Read more information on our Green Card webpage.   To learn more, visit our website.

how were you able to get all these?

I've heard some get it over 30 days before expiration of their green card, But some have been rejected and told to come back when it's when then 30 days. I would suggest waiting to that 30 day threshold, especially if you're not traveling anytime soon.

okay thank you!

sorry if this has been asked, but how early can you get an i-551 stamp?

is it 30 days?

Hi everyone, I have been visiting this great website for more than three years and have learned a lot from all the generous people here who shared their views.

 

I just wanna post my ROC timeline so that it could be helpful information for other people.

 

I mailed out my application on May 24th, 2017, my service center is VSC, and this year on April 9th, my case was transfered to my local office.

 

On May 1st, my application was approved, on May 9th, the new card was mailed to me, and on the same day, USPS has picked up the card.

 

If you have any questions, I am glad to help.

 

Good luck to all of you guys and gals!

 

 

sorry just a quick question, are you a spouse of a military? I'm not sure if that affects it but seems the ones I saw that were approved early were.
