Anyone here got I-551 stamp from the LA field office recently? I tried to make an infopass appt online but it says they don't take walk-in or appt. 

I have an expired GC with 18 extension letter, which are sufficient and I just wanted to get the stamp in case i need to travel after my letter expires. 

Thanks in advance!

Congrats!!! I am WAC 17354. Hope I will get approved soon

"Transfers" are better than no updates based on what I have read here. A lot people got approved one month after being transferred.

I am a Cali filer and my last update was in March 2018 that my case was received at local office,

So far that I know, it doesn't change anything if you applied now or wait for your 10 years GC; neither of the two makes the other faster ... I've applied for N400 earlier last month so that way, my wait time for N400 process starts counting rather than wait until God knows when, for the 10 years GC and now file N400 ... irrespective of filing base on 3 years rule or 5 years rule, the current wait time for N400 in Dallas is 24 months so if I have the $$ and the requirements, why wait? It's like postponing the evil days ... haha  more so, it doesn't look like the process is going to get better anyways; at least not anytime soon.

 

My one cent, apply for N400 when you're qualify and have the resources ...  

Thanks a lot for the advice!

We filed for the n400 while the I 751 was processing. My husband was told by the USCIS officer that it would be better for us to have waited. However, we applied in March 2018 for the n400 and had an interview by July 2018. My husband became a citizen on September 26, 2018.  I would say apply for the n400, but do it online if you can.

Congrats to you and your husband and thanks for sharing your journey! Now i feel a lot more comfortable moving forward with the N-400 application. I have already filled out the form online and all i need is to press the button  

I can't agree with you more on immigration attorneys. That's why I decided not to use an attorney after consulting with 2 of them when I first applied for GC. 

Anyway, I am leaning toward applying for N-400  to wait for both at the same time instead of being in this wait game for the next two or three years even. I am at CSC so the wait time for ROC will be another 6 months approximately. 

I am in the same boat as you here. Filed I-751 in September 2017 and case transferred to local office in March 2018. I reached my 3 year to apply for N-400 last month but I have been hesitant to do it. I have only spoken to 1 attorney regarding this and she did not recommend to apply for N-400 until ROC is approved. However, based on some of the discussions here, a lot people submitted N-400 while ROC is pending. 

Hi Everyone! Another September 2017 filer here still waiting. I filed ROC on 9/19/18 and case was transferred to the local office on 3/5/2018. 18 months extension letter issued on 8/11/2018.

My question is has anyone here submitted n-400 while ROC is pending? I spoke to an attorney and she doesn't recommend to do so but it seems like some of us here have submitted it while waiting for ROC. So I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
