Card in hand💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 Thank you VJ members for the priceless information provided during this journey! Best of luck to everyone still waiting, it seems like it will never get here but be patient, it will.....

Approved today!  
 
 

Finally got an update on our case, card is being produced! NOA date early December 2017 at CSC. Case was never transferred, it was stuck in "transfer to local office' glitch status and we did not file N400 yet (waiting on the Germans). 

Today after almost two anguishing weeks after card being delivered to wrong address, I was able to collect it. According to the person where the card was supposedly delivered to, it was placed today (Sunday) in his mail slot and the envelope was already open. This suggests the card wasn’t even delivered to the address on the enevelope. Anyway, he was nice enough to text me and let me know he had it. Card was intact and still stuck to the letter it comes in with. 
Now I need to call USCIS and let them know of this turn of events. 
@Amhara thanks for providing support, at least to hear my venting when I was frustrated. 
On another note, my husband went for his biometrics appointment this past Thursday for his N400. One step closer to it all being over.
Good luck to those still on the waiting game.

Received notification on Friday that card was being produced. Case was transferred from CSC to Nebraska in January. Last year received RFE, submitted documentation and never received receipt notice of the documents. Am very happy. 

1. Open new Joint checking account and start paying major bills from it OR ask your husband to add you on existing account which is used for paying atleast Rent / mortgage
2. Ask your husband to add you on credit cards as Authorized User (you can submit front and back of credit card)
3. Transfer one of Utility Bills to your name
4. Health / Auto Insurance showing both names (you and husband)
5. Life Insurance showing each other as Beneficiary
6. If your husband owns property, ask him to add you as Beneficiary incase of death (he can always change this after Green Card is approved).

Just got an email , My N400 is approved and I'm in line for oath ceremony.
 
Good luck to you all !

Just got approved 😀
Finallyyyyy😋
Good luck everyone else 

Finally it's my turn!  The wait has been long. Also good news for VSCers we finally have more movement  good luck to everyone else!  I'm cheering for us all!

Question about the card.  Is it a 10 year starting the date card produced or date at the end of old card?

Dont worry about it, its normal. Ever since I had DACA, i received card first, then a few days later the letter of approval stating (you will receive your card in the mail in 60 days lol 😂 its a bit backwards. 
 Currently the same thing happen again, got card ordered, then it said they mailed it, then they said USPS picked up the card (so which is it, they mailed it or they came to pick it up lol ) and yesterday i received the NOA approval letter. 🤷🏻‍♂️  

Finally! Finally! Finally!
 
The first step towards citizenship has been completed and the nervous wait is over. To God be the glory!🙏🙏🙏  I work overnight and at 5:15 am, I received text, and email notifications about status update. First week in January filer, Approved 3/20/19. Does USCIS have night shift?
 
I'm not leaving this forum till everyone gets approved. 

Congrats to you and everyone else  who recently got approved..!!! hopefully I hear something soon, i mean very soon - NOA dec 26th 2017 WAC18087005****

Yes it sure has been. Today I got this update. 

Just got my approval notice today!!!

Had my combined I-751 / N-400 interview yesterday at the Columbus Ohio field office. I had a ton of documents with me and was not asked for anything other than they wanted to look at my green card. While my husband was in the waiting room I quickly did the reading/writing/Civics test then they asked me some questions regarding our life together (I.e. what kind of car do you drive? What color is it? What car does your husband drive? What color is it? Do you have any tattoos? Does he have any tattoos? Where do you work and what are your hours? Where does your husband work and what are his hours? How many bedrooms/bathrooms/TVs in your home? What is your address?). After I gave my answers they brought him in to have him answer the same questions. They did not ask to see any of the relationship evidence I had brought with me or any originals for items I sent copies of with either application. Went quickly and the interviewer was very nice! I was approved on the spot and my online portal updated today with “we have scheduled you for an oath ceremony”, the actual document hasn’t been uploaded yet so I’m not sure when it will be. 
 
Hope this helps anyone with with an upcoming I-751/N-400 interview! 
 
All the best, 
Frances

Same with me.  Just letting you know that you are not alone.

Great news people are getting approvals!  Resurrected this baby back (on page 58 - I think this is the last one).
