I'm just wondering if having a pending N-400 case could possibly slow down the I-751 application

1) if you have not received a physical letter about transfer, chances are it's a glitch. If you go to ROC forum there is a huge thread about "transfer" glitch that all of us got. 

2) however if you filed n 400 your petition would be transferred to local office and then it's under local office proceeding times

I personally think applying for n 400 delays i751 and if you'll check monthly fillers threads with statistics you'll see this tendency yourself 

on a bright side, you are closer to your citizenship then people who decide to deal with 751 first 

good luck!

Yea, will include everything in the service request..

I've been feeling so down since last week.. dealing with this situation is so depressing and frustrating..

 

Sure thing it's frustrating, but cheer up - you have a green card!!! Unlike many of us waiting and waiting and waiting that's definitely not the worst place to be at! Look at it like this: your 10 year residency is done deal and for me, for example, it's not yet and I'm having a terrible anxiety about my travel plans because my case still pending..You good! You'll sort it out and move past by. Congratulations on your approval ! That's what matters the most.

Do you have the I-551 stamp in your passport?

I do, it's valid for many months to come. I was just anxious leaving the country during estimated month of processing application (May-June) even though it's just for 2 weeks...like what if it's get denied while I'm gone because I haven't filled it out correctly or something else. It's a gray area if i551 would be sufficient for re enter in that case (well at least to me it as)

Hi Scazy - sure thing. I added you just above this post. I'm assuming you are CSC... did you do N400 combo?

CSC, did not filed n400

What if you get hit by a truck on your way to the airport?

It has been filed, it will be dealt with when it is dealt with - stressing over it won’t change that in any way. 

You will drive yourself mad - been there done that got the t shirts and many useless service request responses.

 

 

Yes, you can be issued a straight denial without an RFE - I can personally attest to that as I have never received an RFE. 

It would also be unusual to be issued a denial without an interview first but it is possible.

If you receive an interview notice you generally get around a months notice - sign up for USPS informed delivery and have someone able to check your mail if neccessary. You can’t really do anything more at this point.

 

 

Regardless, as a LPR you are protected by the law and you only cease to be a LPR after a final order of removal by an immigration judge , despite the wording of the denial letters.

Remember that an immigration judge is the only one who can terminate ones LPR status, and a LPR is entitled to a hearing with one - and also to appeal that decision if unhappy with it .

If denied and a hearing pending you are also entitled to proof of your status until such a hearing has taken place.

 

If you have a valid stamp and are presenting as a LPR you would be permitted re-entry to the US, even if denied when overseas.

You could also file another I-751 immediately if you receive a denial, which puts you back into full I-751 pending status 

 

 

Mindthegap, thank you so much for your input! Yes, the wording about status termination is scary especially when paired with the CBP statement that entry is not granted to anyone who's not a citizen, LPR includingly. 

I do have informed delivery and all I see there so far is a mail spam. 

Was just trying to weight out the risk of leaving now compare to rescheduling a trip for 2 months but then again, who knows when it's gets approved or any action taken.

Hi guys, I'm a December 2016 filler and based on my rough estimate, December fillers would start seeing a movement in May. However I have an urgent travel to do leaving in 2 days and coming back in exactly 2 weeks from now. But here is where paranoia and anxiety of a long wait kicks in, it makes me sick to my stomach thinking about all "what ifs" if I won't be allowed back if my petition gets denied while I'm gone. I haven't seen much reports of straight up denials, only if something is wrong with a petition, and since I filled it out myself without legal advice im worry if I forget a signature at the right spot/or checking the right box, or whatever that could cause a denial. I'm so exhausted from racing my thoughts like this and prolong purchasing plane tickets so I decided to share it with you guys as I'm not 100% sure my concerns are even legit anymore. I would love to hear your optinion if it's indeed a risky adventure to leave when I expect to start seeing a movement for my month fillers or I'm simply loosing it because of anxiety. 

P.s. If there is no issues with my petition itself, I tend to believe it would be approved with all amount of evidences I sent. 

I'm sorry if I'm spreading worrys I usually try to encourage everyone but now it's me who's in feelings. 

Interesting pattern... October fillers statistics shows majority approval came in 1 year and 6 months mark, some took 1 year and 7 months. 

In November it switched to majority got approved in 1 year and 5 months and for others it took 1 year and 6 months 

there is a lot of people in both threads with no update whatsoever - could be that they just don't post on VJ anymore or indeed still waiting. 

By my rough estimate, CSC speeded up for 1 month comparing past 2 months activity. Hope my calculations is correct

By my rough estimate, CSC speeded up for 1 month comparing past 2 months activity which is a good sign for those who still waiting. I'm an early December filler and sitting here anxious and probably driving myself crazy at this point as I want to go on urgent travel yet worry if they would start processing December 2016  in May and what if I haven't filled out petition properly and got denied while away and other what ifs... ugh

It was transferred March 13,2018 and the status says it has been transferred but not telling me what Service Center and  I did not filled N400 yet.

I'd take it as a good sign considering somebody just got approved that way. I only not so sure why you haven't got a letter in a mail confirming transfer. I would call tomorrow in AM to talk to Tier2 officer for a better idea where your file at. Please keep us posted and good luck! 

1) What date the transfer happened? 

You should recive a physical letter in mail if transfer indeed took a place. 

2) what's your statuses online says?

3)have you filled n 400? 

If not, and transfer did happen and you recive a letter in mail notifying about it, then it's a great news and makes me think that CSC started a workload transfer. December 2016 filler just reported approval after transfer from CSC to NSC.

I checked my USCIS account and still no update so I decided to call them instead and an automatic operator answer and telling me my case was transferred to Nebraska Service Center, So my question , Is there anyone got approval after the case Transferred to Nebraska and how long does it takes before you get approval letter? Thank you , Have a nice Sunday!

You filled on January 2017 in CSC?

Wrong on all counts.

As you know, I have some experience in the area of denial... 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi, mindthegap! Based on an actual experience, how exactly denial works? What comes first: RFE? Interview? Notice of intent do deny? Or maybe straight up a denial letter? In that case, what happens if a person out if the country?  Would love to hear your input.

Guys, let's not turn an interesting thread into out of topic philosophy, I know it's very draining to stay in limbo but oh well it's going to be our turn one day! Let's just figure out how to make this process less painful and secure for a time being.

Believe it or not there are about 7 BILLION different walks of life in this world. 

 

Ill give you small run down of my world that is completely different than yours. 

 

Im from Canada and know wealthy people interested in having their footprint in US business, iam working on getting a large investment to my business here in the US, this will require me months back in Canada. While this requires my 120%  attrntion and focus to pull off, I sit here with half the energy explaining to CBP officers, USCIS officers and forum members what im doing with my life. 

Actually I'm totally getting your anxiety and where you coming from in this thread. I believe you are a December filler so as myself, and just like you ( this I assume) I'm planning international travel for 2 weeks in a matter of a few days. They working on November now so I believe it's still a month away of wait to do before we even can talk approval/rfe/interviews but this wait sometimes drives me nuts and I start overthinking things. My NOA December 10. You think it's ok time to travel or it's better to cancel it all and sit tight for a reasons like you stated at your original post? 

14 minutes ago, ApplyingforN400 said:

I second this question, I personally dont think this exists even if they have all the evidence to wrap you in and throw you off the coast. They will always RFE, interview, And intent to deny, maybe even reinterview. 

The reason for this, goes back to being an LRP, and not wanting to automatically make the case go to court, wasting more resources if they can solve issues internally within the agency. 

 

I think for this reason lawyers say you will not be able to enter since it never happened? 

I'm not sure.. really gray area. Check this thread with Memo on a subject: 

Have you guys heard about 751 being denied without a notice to deny or RFE/interview?

This is the second approval in December I got a friend who Applied December 10 2016 and she got approved first week of April. She filled under the waiver cos her husband is dead . Congratulations to those that got approved and to all of us waiting there is always light at the end of every tunnel.

Where is her approval came from? CSC?

I applied for removal in Dec 2016, CSC

 

I received two letters:

Notice Date 04/19/2018, Transfer Notice, my case was transfered to NSC

Notice Date 04/24/2018, Approval Notice, saying my case was approved, expect greencard in 60days. 

 

No interview.

 

This literally made my evening! Very happy for you! 

Super curious, What does your statuses online  says? 

Now I wonder if they started to transfer workload for real or it's just exceptional case. If anyone here getting a physical mail transfer notifications (not an online status glitch we all got recently) , please post! 

Just now, darnit said:

Nope, still in the same place since I moved to the states!

And the tracking number Zip Code which both are correct!

But it doesn't show the Street address and the apartment number.. Of course.. What a joke..

Ugh this is crazy! I'd go to post office talk to supervisor and  request investigation ... I did it once for lost package and surprisingly usps found it at different building. At least something.

Just woke up to see this stupid email update from USCIS about my mysteriously not delivered GC!

 

=======================================================================================================================

 

Type of service requested:
 -- Non-Delivery of Permanent Resident Card

The status of this service request is:

On April 16, 2018, your legal representative notified USCIS that you have not received the Permanent Resident Card that our records show was sent. Below is a summary of what we found and how the issue can be resolved.

On February 15, 2018, we sent your Permanent Resident Card to the address we have on file. The tracking information below indicates your card was delivered February 20, 2018.

USPS Tracking Information: ###################

USCIS does not accept liability for secure documents, including Permanent Resident Cards, upon receipt by the U.S Postal Service. Replacement of a card lost, stolen, or otherwise misplaced during transit requires the submission of a newly-completed Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, and applicable fee(s).

 

=======================================================================================================================

 

Just great..

 

. Have you changed address during ROC at all? What does tracking number says? 

Guys, how many days they give you to reply on RFE? 89?

12 hours ago, Ketsuban said:

I think the amount of time they give to reply to an RFE is about 90 days.

 

The stamp is also fine to get you back in as long as it's in date. It's an I-551 in a different form. I had to send my GC back to USCIS today and intend to use my stamp while I wait for them to correct their misprint.

 

I don't know how much notice they give you for an interview. Could you have someone pick up your mail and notify you if you need to come back?

Thank you for you reply. 

I can possibly ask someone to pick it up, however can't be 100% sure. 

I do worry about possible interview, I think for AOS it was about 2 weeks ahead, so kind of short notice if you outside of the country. 

I think I saw your recent approval in one of the the threads, do you recall seeing in approval letter a note about not leaving the country before your GC arrives? 

16 minutes ago, ViZh said:

Sorry, didn't have a chance to read all messages. Was anyone approved after update "received at the local office"? Or most of people still think that it is a glich? 

It's a glitch unless you got a physical letter saying your case has been transferred.
