Finally have an update after over a year.
 
I got an update notice saying my application to remove conditions is successful and my card will be sent within 60 days! Just for reference I have not filed for naturalization with this application and have not had any updates about transfers to local office that some people are reporting.

@FrancesTaber here is the number I called (800) 375-5283 and I  typed 1 2 2 2 ....customer service rep answered and then I requested to speak to level 2.

Mine will expire this february so yes you can use it..  dmv told me to just bring my extention letter n my greencard n drivers license if i renew it 

Just got back from my biometrics, whole thing took longer to get through security than the actual biometrics! It was just an ID verification, 2 minutes total. Now just waiting and hoping I don't need another interview. I honestly don't see why I would but you never know.

I got my biometrics yesterday too!  
 
Here's my detailed process:
 
12/16/17 - Mailed package
12/18/17 - VSC received
12/19/17 - NOA sent
01/05/18 - NOA received
01/12/18 - Bio letter issued
01/22/18 - Bio letter received
01/30/18 - Bio appointment
 
If anyone can update the list with my info thanks!
 
 
 

I received my biometrics appointment letter today. My biometrics date is 1/29/2018!! What a relief!
 

Received my NOA in the mail today. NOA dated 01/16/18 and received 01/22/18. Also, checked just to see if it worked on the myUSCIS and low and behold my case popped up with the fingerprint fee received status, so I know for sure they're not sending it back this time. Awaiting biometrics now.

I believe that the package cashier's check was lost because it was placed in the bottom of the documents. I placed mine by following the forum's sample, I slipped with a transparent pocket holder and punched on the very first page for their convenience.
Ur still on our December list! I'll just put a note to that.
Visit the bank asap right now and try to get your money back. 
As for the second filing, remember to write a personal check instead just for safety.
If you would like, don't forget to use a flat rate USPS box, with express priority, it costs 18.85USD, if you're sending on weekends, express priority is not needed, priority will be good enough. If you want, you can ask for a return receipt and certified mail. I did that by adding 3 dollars to it. Oh yes the box is quite filmsy inside, there's some spaces, so what I did was, I stuffed some bubble wrap stuffs or paper junks to make it in place. I don't want my documents to wobble around.
And yeap you MUST use the new version forms! Don't give them chance to return package! GOOD LUCK!
Don't use staples, the reason is because the officers are required to scan and copy, they need to put these documents into the system in PC. It'll be harder for them. Paperclips are fine, I did not use them though, I used Binder clips for big bank statements stacks and I punched them all with fasteners.
Here's the sample link:

Here's how my package look, as you can see I used these fasteners, you can get them at office depot or amazon. 
I used 4 fasteners for my stack, the black binder clips are a stack of each bank statements, the plastic folder in front page is where I slipped in the check, they can just cut the plastic off instead of removing the fasteners.
As for the highlighted stickers, those are the signed documents such as affidavits.
Hope that helps! Let me know when you're going to submit, I'll definitely still put u on our list!
 
And I just received an informed delivery that I have USCIS mail incoming, I'm hoping its biometrics, I mean there's nothing else to wait!
 

Again, the shutdown does not affect USCIS, no field offices will be closed and no non-employment based visa will be affected. At worst some applications may be delayed, and only if the shutdown goes on for a while. Even USPS will be open since it is also not entirely government funded, so even your mail will be delivered.

I believe government shutdown does not affect USCIS, DHS etc. only agencies which rely on government funding. Realistically most departments plan for these things anyway and have money to cover the shutdown time. I used to work as a contractor for the DoE in the last shutdown and didn't come close to missing a day of work or paycheck because we had a surplus saved up. I wouldn't worry about this.

Thanks! So relieved 😌 sent back 01/10/2018 delivered 01/11/2018.

FINALLY! My cheque has been cashed! Never been so happy to see money leave our account. Looks like sending my package back with the updated form worked. NOA to wait for now, at least that's one less thing to worry about for us  

Im not sure how too but I don't have any Biometrics letter, and I provided them my NOA, SSN, A# when I ask about the biometrics.
Did you send your package with a return receipt and certified mail? (USCIS Signature)
 

I used the same form you did and sent it to VSC on Dec. 27, 2017.  It was received on Jan. 2nd, 2018 and we got the NOA dated 1/3/2018.
 
Did you track your package and see for sure it was delivered properly?
 
 

It's really not a big deal. I have had big anxiety about this whole process but this is really not a big deal, I promise. If you did the AR-11 online you should have email confirmation, you can attach a copy of that if you like. Technically the I-865 is just a form but I also sent my purchase agreement for my home, the letter, and my NOA copy. Mostly I just wanted to show that all the dates for moving matched up and we have been living together continually etc. Like I said, anxious. I can share the letter text with you if it helps. The I-751 will not be affected if you did the AR-11, that's the important thing. It's not like you are trying to claim benefits etc so you have done nothing wrong. 

Welcome!  Don’t do anything!  The USCIS received the case and it just takes patience.  You have a whole month and a half to get your NOA which extends your residency for another year from March 2nd.  The NOA will be dated the day they received it and you won’t have a case number until you receive the biometrics letter anyhow.
 
Keep your $680 and call towards the middle of February using your A# if you don’t receive your NOA.  Your check will cash late, but I can understand the anxiety!  Just remember that region had a typhoon bomb or whatever they call it recently (you would know best, being from Jersey).  That would close down federal buildings for days on end and cases can’t get processed.  Yours may have been towards the bottom of the pile, but should get some movement later this month.
 
Keep is posted about your progress!  Let us know if you don’t get anything or when you do!!! It’s coming!

I agree.  Like you mentioned earlier, there is probably no harm done by not doing so unless the PR spouse leaves and goes on welfare somewhere, which is not likely to happen, I would rather err on the side of caution and compliance!

Even if it's late I highly recommend filing it asap. I attached a copy of my NOA for reference and a cover letter to explain the mistake. There is no charge and its a very simple form. Better to admit to your honest mistake rather than hoping it doesn't get found out.

Sorry, I should have been more specific, this is correct. My wife is my sponsor and a US citizen. I just didn't realize about I=865 until I read this forum. As far as I can tell there is a fine for not doing it on time but they generally only assess that if they are the ones who catch you. It was a year and a half late but we are correcting this now. You should make sure this is up to date because they will almost certainly notice during the I-751 process. On the plus side the I-751 came to my address no problem even before we filed the I-865. So as long as you have your address up to date there should be no processing problems.
