    No rfe, no interview and I haven't filed for citizenship yet. Total waiting time: 11 months

    Congrats!  Our case is very similar to yours:

    Nothing more so far but hoping we will hear in the next week or so based on your timeline!

    So I got my letter in the mail (Receipt number WAC181385XXXX) which says "We have completed a preliminary review of the application or petition ("your case") listed above.  As part of standard processing, we transferred your case to the USCIS office listed below that has jurisdiction over your case.  That office will notify you in writing when they make a decision on your case or if they need additional information.  POTOMAC SERVICE CENTER, 2200 Potomac Centra DR, MS 2425, Arlington, VA."

    Has anyone else had this?  Didn't realize they had a service center in VA? 

     

    Just wondering if anyone else had anything like this or could tell me if it's just a standard transfer or something else?

    We on VJ here gauge where USCIS processing timeline is by what action is taken on each batch of receipt numbers.  The first 6-digit of receipt numbers, should one choose to share, provide the community a chronological order of your case relative to the rest of us.

     

    As for N-400, it is common to have a file transferred to NBC if you file it while your I-751 is pending.  But you said no, which means that your batch of receipt numbers are to expect a

    workload transfer to another Service Center.

     

    The recent trend (since January 2019) appears to be CSC offloads its files to NSC, while VSC gives them to TSC.

     

    Keep us posted when you know where your file goes.  You will receive a letter in the mail indicating so.  Good luck to you and to us all.

    Ok cool - mine begins with WAC181385

    I have received my 18mth extension letter now, CSC.

    Also I made an infopass appointment as one happened to come up and I was worried about travelling next year around the time my extension would expire...the agent wouldn't give me the stamp as it wasn't within the 90 days before my extension expired, but he did give me a free pass to come back on 2 different days next year and get the stamp so that was worth it!  At least I don't have to be panicking about whether I can get an appointment or not now!

    Hi there,

     

    Has anybody here been outside of the country using an expired green card and I-797 Notice to travel?

    I have some questions to ask you if I may:

    1. Do airline ground crews recognize or understand that an expired green card and I-797 are accepted?

    2. At the US airport, when you put an expired green card to a machine, is the machine recognized right away?

     

    Thank you for your answers. 

    Yes I just got back about 1mth ago.  Absolutely no issues at all...apart from when I left NZ to return to USA!  It was a small regional airport I departed from and they obviously hadn't seen an extension letter before so I had to explain and they checked up and after that no issues.  So you shouldn't have any issues at major airports only possibly small airports where they may not have ever seen it before.

    No issues entering an expired card into the machines in USA.  It prints you a receipt just like usual and you take that plus passport and I-797 to officer and he took one look and on we went! :)

    I-751 Sent back because of the wrong Form and GC expiring. What should I do

    I had the exact same issue, originally sent March 7th, returned to me on March 19th...I resent the same day with correct form then they sent it back again on April 2nd saying it was missing a copy of my green card!  WRONG!  There was a copy in there but they obviously didn't even bother to look which was very frustrating as I'm supposed to leave the country in 10days...sent it back again April 2nd with more copies of my green card and a note to say it was in there all along.  Hoping it'll be 3rd time lucky!
