SCCH

I just noticed that my 1st and last names are flipped on my new 10yr permanent resident card. The spellings are correct, but my 1st name got the last name and last name got the 1st.... agh. What should I do to correct this? File i-90 online?? Please advice. I checked my old card and everything is correct. Thank you

I had included everything I could think of like checking account statements, driving license, insurance, tax returns, phone bills, photos, retirement plan beneficiary etc. but I still got the RFE not sure what else they want. 

Make sure you send "tax transcript". Sending regular tax returns is not really required. Did you already submit tax transcript?

Congrats! But I don't think the applying of the N400 had anything to do for your approval.

At this point in time, I think everything is random. Cause nothing is making sense with this immigration process.

 

I agree with you .... But definitely applying for N400 cannot harm the ROC application in any way. If anything I would say it would just "knock" on the I751 file that's sitting on the officer's desk collecting dust.

"New Card is Being Produced." - received update this morning. Finally the wait is over!!

My timeline and details:

• I751 sent 04/06. NOA 04/11/18
• BIO waived letter received May '18
• Case transferred to Nebraska 03/05/19
• NO interview.
• I submitted N400 this weekend, 05/05/19. I do not know if that has anything to do with the approval... I was tired of waiting and no action. I would suggest others in the same boat to apply for N400 (if eligible with "clean sheet"...) .

GL for others still waiting.

Applied 4/23/18, no case transfer and haven't submitted N400 although I can

Thanks for the reply. I applied 04/06 and received "bio waived" letter last year may/june. Case was transferred 03/05 to Nebraska. I wonder if they will ask for BIO for me too. I applied for N400 this weekend, so BIO will be scheduled soon for that anyways.

I'm in the same boat. Reuse letter dated 2/22 then biometrics letter dated 4/25. Appt is next week.

 

Code 5 – one-hand fingerprints (4 prints on one hand), photo and signature.

When did you apply ? Did your case transfer before the BIO letter was issued? Also did you apply for N400 by any chance?

Hi, I know you didn't ask me directly but I also had a similar timeline so thought I would share my experience.

 

Our NOA1 was 4/6/18 at CSC.  Husband completed N-400 on 2/26/19 online. On 3/5/19 we got notice that the I-751 was transferred to Nebraska. I don't think this was connected to the N-400 as it seems there was a large batch transferred on the same day. In the meantime, he got a notice for biometrics for the N-400 which was done on 3/18/19. 

 

I heard that when cases are transferred, some action is supposed to be taken within 60 days. On 5/1/19, we got notice of new card being produced for the I-751 which was close to the 60th day from transfer. Now he is waiting for his N-400 interview to be scheduled.

 

In our case, I do not think the I-751 was affected at all by the N-400 filing. It seems like it would have processed the same either way. It also does not seem that the pending I-751 delayed the start of the N-400 processing.

 

Hope that helps you a little bit. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Thank you for that info. Glad to hear your husband's progress. I just wish your statement "when cases are transferred, some action is supposed to be taken within 60 days." was true. My case was transferred to Neb on 03/05. Nothing since, so I am almost to that 60 day mark.... though i doubt USCIS really goes by any norm/rule/timeline. They just do things when/how they want to.  Anyways I have decided to file my N400 by Sunday.

April 2018 filer CSC

NO BIO

March 5 2019 transferred to Nebraska

I filed my N400 online March 2019

 

Congrats!! Did you receive any updates on N400 before the approval? Do you fee that application expedited your approval in any way? I know this is purely random how they are approving the I751, but I am getting my N400 ready and trying to decide if I should wait a few more days to submit it... My dates are almost identical as yours, am eligible to apply for N400 since 03/30. Was transferred to Nebraska on 03/05.

Hey guys, I just got a notification from the app that "New card is being produced"! I'm so excited!

Case was accepted on April 2, 2018, biometrics waived, no interview. Got transferred to Nebraska from California on March 5, first digits of the tracking number WAC18134, so good news for everybody who got transferred, looks like they're finally getting to our cases!

Congrats!! My case was transferred to Nebraska on 03/05 too and nothing since then, yet. I am early April filer with NOA receive date of 04/09.  Hope to hear something soon. Btw did you apply for N400?

How many April 2018 filers have received approvals/denials thus far?

Less than half a dozen got approvals as per this thread... most of those cases appear to be non-transferred ones. Denials are not common/reported.

So happy for everyone getting approved.

 

I applied for the N400 and received the biometrics letter already, but no changes on my I-751. God, the wait for this just sucks

Your I-751 will not see any updates separately. Now both your applications will be bundled and adjudicated together. You probably will be interviewed for your N400 in due time. They may or may not give you any updates on the I751 at that time. It's  a crapshoot.. "applying for N400 may or may not delay/expedite" the whole I751 process. Good luck.

My case transferred from Nebraska.  I think this was triggered from filling N-400

Where did your case got transferred?

Applied for n400 last night.  Not waiting around for Nebraska to wake up.  

LOL... yah they appear to be in a long hibernation!! I haven't seen a single approval out of NSC. My case was transferred on 03/05 too and I will file for N400 after giving it couple more months.

Has any from Texas went to do a change of address for your Driver License? Any issues with getting it changed? Did they ask to see your expired GC + extension letter?

You should not have any issue extending... take everything with you. They will probably want to see both GC and extension letter, but to start with I would ONLY give them the GC 1st and then the extension letter if they ask. I renewed my DL 1 yr after I got my conditional GC and was given a regular 5 yr GC w/o any question asked. My GC showed an expiration date of 06/30 2018. My DL expires in 2023. My i751 is still pending btw.

Anyone who got transferred to NSC (or transferred to any other centers recently) got approval yet ?? I see approvals for folks that were not transferred... AND transfers and approvals both appears to be random in nature, no timeline followed!!

Hi All,

 

April CSC filler here and did my biometric Last Monday 03/11/2019.  Tried to log in my.uscis.gov (the new account system) today but received "Failed to retrieve profile", and no updates were shown there.

 

I then went to uscis.gov and logged into my account there (from the old case status tracking page https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do) and searched my case number. Updates shown as "Fingerprint Review was Completed". I was able to add my case number to my account there and turned on the email and mobile alert.

 

Has anyone experienced the same issue? It's good to see some updates though...

Early April '18 filer here too. For me, the new system does not show any update other than the initial file received status. The old system correctly shows "file transferred" status to NSC and I did receive the notice in mail 1 week ago. My finger print was waived long time ago.

My case got transferred to NSC from CSC. Apr 4th filer. Seems like most of the recent transfers from CSC got moved NSC.... My letter says "preliminary review has been completed"... is it the canned statement on everyone's letter too? Hopefully we will see approval from NSC in a few months.  I do not have a problem with even a interview request... I see it as a step closer to approval. I just do not want to deal with RFE. 

I am an early Apr filer '18 with NOA of Apr 11th. Today when I checked on the tracker app my case shows "Case transferred and new office has jurisdiction. On march 4th, your... was transferred to another USCIS office. That office now has jurisdiction over your case. We sent you a notice that explains why we moved your case..." Just wondering if anyone here got the same status update and what was the outcome!! my notice is still in the mail...

I just checked a range of 500 cases around mine (WAC18134) and I see a bunch of transfers and one lucky number that got approved in December. I think this means that they at least got to redistributing the case load from April; hopefully they will actually start looking at our cases soon.

I see the same thing... I am early April '18 filer and see status of all sorts on the app for filers before/after me.  Lots of approvals, Decision notice left, case transferred, etc. It almost looks random as there are lots of  "Error: My case status does not recognize the receipt number entered" status too. This status probably means USCIS has not got to the case yet. My case is one of those. 😩

Anyways who knows how accurate this case tracker app is.

Been told that nowadays they want you to have that 10 year GC or the citizenship will take much longer 

I doubt this is accurate, whoever told you at the local USCIS office might not be truthful. In other similar threads (July 2017 filers https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/639733-i-751-july-2017-filers/?page=174, or other recent ones from 2017) show multiple data points where applicants filed for N400 while ROC was still pending. They did get their interview scheduled for N400. you may be interviewed for both at the same time.

I submitted my package on March 31, according to tracking it's been delivered yesterday. Now it's time to wait...

Just noticed that CSC is using your old biometrics. I got the same letter with a notice date of 05/05/2018. Hope we don't run into any hiccups with this...

It's a pain because you have to wait for a callback, but a Tier 2 Officer can check the status using your A-number.

Thanks. I will remember to check with Tier 2  officer if I have to in the future... btw does this "biometrics waived" thing expedite/slow the approval process in any way?  Or is it irrelevant?  TIA

VSC or CSC?

Good for you and happy for you. Seems like no bio-metric visit needed. 

CSC. Thank you

Also o add: there is no way to check case status. There is a "Receipt Number" on the notices I received but it is not recognized by the case status check site. Though on the notice it says to use the receipt number while calling/inquiring about the case. Anyways, applications that do not require biometrics do have this shortcoming. 

I-751 received by USCIS 04/05/2018

1st NOA received on 04/17 saying "conditional resident status extended for 1 year..."

2nd NOA received on 05/11 saying  "...USCIS is able to reuse your previously captured fingerprints and other biometrics. USCIS will run the same security checks and use your biometric data as in the past, however it is not necessary for you to appear at a USCIS ASC for a biometric appointment. The biometric fee will not be refunded...."

I am not sure if this is good or bad. I would like to know if anyone else here have received similar responses?  TIA
