@Cougarfalcon83 - By the manual, you get inserted to the piles by your filing date.  However, it is important to note that Texas and Nebraska have not been processing I-751 at all at the time we filed our cases.  This means that anything that gets transferred to either of those places were automatically in chronological order.  Nebraska received a chunk of October and November 2017 filers from CSC and they are still working on them.  So your files would go after those people, which again is in chronological order.

 

The better chance for you is I heard (rumors) that it is easier to hire adjudicators in NSC and TSC and hence the workload are going there.  You may have someone waiting to work on your case as soon as it arrives, but a new adjudicator will take longer to do the work and work must be reviewed 100% until generally 6 months on the job.

@GBOS I was holding off on filing for N400 because I thought maybe the 751 will get done sooner.. Now if I do end up getting transferred, I do think filing the N400 wouldn't be such a bad idea for Chicago.

My number is WAC181885X. I saw a bunch of people around me got transferred yesterday to another office. I wonder  how I didnt make the cut. I am assuming my application was not in the pile for the officer transferring the cases. Maybe I will get transferred in today/tomorrow too.

@GBOS - Question for you. Do we get to the bottom of the stack when we go to a new office? or do they give any prior consideration to the fact that we have been waiting since April 2018. Or do we just get inserted as per date, and get processed when they are processing that specific date?

Also what do you think about my hypothesis above?

Update : Informed Delivery Daily Digest shows I'm receiving letter from USCIS but Case is not updated on both old and new system  USCIS case status. 

 

Old system : https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/

New System : https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov

 

I would be surprised if the bulk approved cases. My guess is- this is about biometrics.

@Cougarfalcon83 - Got a hold of someone I know and he said that they always are testing the system and today is one of those days they accidentally clicked “alert everybody” (I am using the term in exaggeration manner, but you get the idea), and the call center blew up because people got these “alerts” in texts and emails and many of them signed on to their account and didn’t see any change, or see old status repeating itself.

 

False alarm, in my opinion.

Thanks. I thought so too!

Hi, How can I check my case online? 

https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

Just now, maestro said:

I just checked on the website still said case recieved..did u did fingerprint last year?also which app are u using to see?

I checked the USCIS case status website. https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

But, the DHS Account Login says "Case was Received". 

My guess is they mass updated case statuses for alot of people. I never got a biometrics letter or anything.

Lucky u,I filled April 12 but I didn't checked yet..at least they start working on April filer

Check. I just saw on the app that they have bulk updated alot cases today saying "Fingerprint Review was completed"

Guys - I just checked my case and just today the status changed to "Fingerprint Review has been completed". This status changed just this evening. I would be pissed if they are just catching up! I filed on April 16, 2018. Application was recieved on April 18, 2018. NOA on June 1, 2018. WAC181885XXXXX

@GBOS what on earth is going on

What numbers are moving today?

It does look like they're transferring huge chunk of cases to another Jurisdiction (dated Feb 22, 2019).  I really hope they've plans to touch in next because those are too many cases to transfer.

My receipt number is WAC18188.. I think we are close to each other.. Lets see.

I could be wrong. But I dont see any 751 cases after WAC18142XX. This could be the issue that  I  was referring to earlier. Last year almost everyone who filed after April 16th or so got receipts only after May end/June first week. My application was received on April 19, but check was cashed not till Jun1.  I am WAC18188xXX.. wondering if we are next.

Case updated Feb 21, 2019 to "New Card is Being Produced"  Receipt # WAC1811xxxxxx.  No interview, no RFE, and no lawyer!  Google spreadsheet updated.

Hi Can you tell me one more digit of your case number - I am trying to see which day of the year they are looking at.

Got so excited this morning.  The "USCIS" email. 

 

 

 

"We are still reviewing your case at this time and there are no updates at this time"

 

 

Don’t blame you. I would get excited the same way as well.... 

I hope we see some action by April.

Based on the date of the receipt, that is your date of filling status, not the day they received nor the day that you send your application. You are now considered June filer. 

There are tons of people who filed with me in April and May, who did not get receipts till June because of the snafu last year.

How do you check to see who's getting approve?

I just followed the similar threads of Jan, Feb, March 2018 filers in VJ.

I was trying to track my case on the app but when I enter my case# it says it cannot be found. On my my.uscis.gov login it says case was received with no updates since 3-29-2018 when it was filed. Any ideas of why it is like that?

That means they probably haven't reached your case yet. Its normal. Whats the first 6 numbers of your receipt? WAC/EAC XX-XXX-5

starting to see alot of Jan, Feb and March 2018 approvals for CSC. Hopefully we will move soon... Fingers crossed.

Question to all:

 

WAC/EAC 18-XXX-X

 

What number do you have in the 6th digit of your receipt number? 0 or 5?

 

I learned something today from USCIS.  The 3-digit that came before (3rd to 5th digit) represent days, but it represents different days depending on 0 or 5 that comes after.

 

For example, EAC18-122-5-XXXX (mine), represents March 23, 2018 filing date, while EAC18-122-0-XXXX represents January 30, 2018 filing date.

 

It is my understanding that 0 was an old system which has now been migrated to the new one sometimes early in 2018.  My guess is most (if not all) of March 2018 filer have only number “5” in the 6th digit of their receipt.

 

My point is, when you see people share their WAC/EAC number only the first FIVE digits, especially in the forum January 2018 or anytime before that, their receipt could seem sequentially close to yours, but without knowing the 6th digit, you cannot really tell if their filing dates are actually close to yours.

 

Food for thought.

Actually I am WAC18-188-5-XXXX. And I filed on April 17th.

Considering how much permanent green card is getting delayed for CSC filers, does it even makes sense for someone from Dallas (local USCIS office) to file for Citizenship while waiting for condition removal. Problem with Dallas local Office is Citizenship applications are backed up around 20-24 months. I'm afraid filing for Citizenship will delay permanent green card process too by another 12-15 months. I'm thinking to file citizenship after receiving green card. 

 

Any thoughts / suggestions? 

Hi @sharin Did you get Biometrics? Also when I log in to USCIS case status - my status says on June 1 they emailed me the receipt.. even tho I filed in April 20.  Wondering ... are we April filers or June Filers?

There have a been a lot of movement for CSC filers, anywhere ranging from October 2017 to February 2018 filing dates.  They are so random.

 

I have only seen one post by a Liberian national filing with VSC with a receipt number EAC18071XXXXX (filed in January 2018) has received an approval on January 22, 2019.

 

Most approval activities are posted by CSC filers.

Is there an app to see mass status changes?

Question for this Forum: I sent my ROC application on April 16, and it was received on April 18, 2018. But when I log into my account it says application was received on June 1. I am assuming that is related to the delay we had while getting invoices. As I see some Nov 17, Dec 17, Jan 18 applications getting approved - will we be truly processed as April or as June??

My I-751 has been pending for a year. I filled n400 online last Wednesday January 09 night, and the next day NOA was available online, then on the 12th they scheduled biometrics. I printed out biometrics appointment and went to try walk in this morning to Chatsworth CA office. Everything went smoothly. The whole process took me 15 minutes. When I got out and checked my phone, I had a text and email saying my application is actively being reviewed. Now back to waiting game .

Wow this is awesome. 

I have seen some of the Oct and Nov 2017 filers - have started to get their 10 year GC(s). Spotty at best - maybe things are speeding up?

I had the worst experience traveling on my extension letter, POE - LAX. I was escorted to a separate room, had to wait for 1.5 hours (and that's after flying for more than 24 hours). Then the interrogation started, the officer was so rude to me, and at the end threw my passport back at me. During the wait I could hear other officers screaming at travelers things like - "Go back to your country", "You are a fraud", and 'learn how to speak English, you are in the US now'. I am still so traumatized, I am not traveling anywhere until I get my 10-year green card or a passport. 

I am so sorry that you had to go through it. Can you describe further in your opinion- what led to the secondary? And how long were you questioned in secondary - and did he stamp your passport in the end?

Hi all!

 

I wanted to give a proper update on my case for all who are curious. My interview was at the San Bernardino office in CA. Interview went well, Officer couldn’t approve because of pending I-751 but said he will try and get it all done and schedule me into November oath. 2 days after the interview I got a RFE for my N400 and a transfer notice for I-751. I responded to the RFE and on the same day the I-751 was approved (about 8 days after interview). N400 was approved the following day (yesterday) and my current status says “Oath ceremony will be scheduled”. For all of you who have finished the process, how long did it take for your status to change to say that the oath was scheduled and receive your ceremony date? 

 

Thanks so much 😊

If its ok can you share what was the RFE about?
