Hey everyone, I just got a notification a couple of hours ago that my card is in production. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck to everyone waiting...

Congratulations! I'm WAC1990058XXX. Hopefully good news are coming our way. 

Hi everyone,
 
I was approved 2 weeks ago on 2/5/2020 and meant to share my timeline here FYI. California Service Center (WAC), no RFE/interview/transfers. I had filed on 12/28/2018 so it took a total of 404 days (this is a lucky number btw!) from receipt to approval. 🙂
 
Our lawyer prepared our packet and organized everything for us. We submitted the following evidence after perusing VisaJourney threads: tax transcripts, bank statements, utility statements, insurance (health, life, cars, home), car titles, estate planning docs including [husband] and [wife] living trust, retirement accounts, brokerage accounts, affidavits, and about 20 photos ranging from graduation ceremony to company holiday parties. We also submitted some creative evidence but that may be personally identifiable so I won't share it here haha...
 
I was honestly so stressed out about the sheer uncertainty of the length of wait (up to 23 months seriously? when my extension was only good for 18 months) but I'm glad the wait wasn't forever. I am beyond excited. I'm very grateful to VJ and all of its members for showing me the standard of a well-prepared, strong i-751 case. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to come up with such a thick application package.😁 Let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of any help. Thank you so much!!!

Hey guys!
 
So I sent my response to the RFE from SRC (they said my petition was filed late, while it wasn’t). The response is just on its way, definitely has not made it to Texas yet.
 
BUT! This morning I got a notification “New Card Is Being Produced”! What???!!! 
 
I wonder if the USCIS contact center officer who I spoke to on the phone somehow helped the case? I don’t know, and I just hope this is not a mistake

I got an update about my case as well. New Card Is Being Produced!
It's been 472 days! My USCIS office is in San Francisco, so I thought I will end up waiting much longer. Great news for me! And glad to hear that cases are moving for the other folks as well!
Good luck to those still waiting!

Just checked and my case was updated as of January 23rd, status: Case was Approved. How long does it normally take before card is produced? WAC199006xxxx here...filed 11/28.

Got a notification today that New card is being produced! I'm WAC199006XXXX - Good luck everyone!

Hi guys,
 
I just want to give a quick update. Finally my case has been approved after 24 months. I was called for an interview on Jan 13th 2020 and interview went for 45 mins and asked various questions about my marriage (I was divorced and things got complicated with my Ex) and end of the interview she told me i should except my card in 7 days.
 
I really want to thank this community for answering my questions and being super helpful. I hope everyone's journeys ends on a good note!

Just wanted to circle back and let everyone know that my California case has also been approved without RFE or interview.

Good news, I got the notification that my card is being produced. No interview. My receipt number is WAC199006XXXX. Does anyone know how long it takes to receive the card once the case is approved?

i feel like us WAC fliers will get more approval this month! finger crossed!! i'm wac199007

I’m WAC199006, i will

Mine's 199006****
 
Biometrics done in April 2019. Still waiting. 

Wow! Congratulations! First November WAC filer that I hear of getting approved in the forum. Are you 199004**** or 199005****? Also please fill out your timeline to improve the estimation generated by VisaJourney.

Yeah, it's unfortunate. They have the information we need. It's okay. We'll get through this together. I checked some receipt numbers and noticed that the last approval wave is around the last week of October right now. I don't want to get our hopes up, but I think if anything, January and February is when we'll hear good news. Let's keep each other posted.

Hello 
 November Filler here
Fingerprint done in July
Just received this update today : On January 9, 2020, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number WAC199.........., and will mail it to the address you gave us.
good luck everyone!

We are WAC filer too, never transferred. No update yet. Hopefully soon. 
I noticed many applicants (September and October 2018) don't update their info after being approved. It's really hard to get a real estimation of how many people get approved in a period of time. 
Hopefully we get this done really soon. 

I'm a WAC filer too and still have no updates. An October 2018 WAC filer did get hers/his approved tho. His/her receipt number was Wac1990019xxxx. We should be getting ours soon. Good luck to all of us!

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm 1990058xxx. I hope my turn is coming soon! Congrats!

Received 10 year GC today. Thankful to be done with this step💕

Longtime lurker, wanted to give other California filers some hope

Update to show fingerprints taken: December 13, 2019

Thanks to everyone for the updates along the way!

I got transferred twice I believe.
Biometric in August
I got transferred to California in March and then transferred to Potomac at the end of October.
No expedited and no military.
Yeah crazy I know, I saw someone in April 2019 get approved the other day.
A strange process for sure.

Wow! Congrats! Did you get transferred at all?! Or expedited perhaps? Military? Getting approved in 10 months is unheard of!
