    The details are all found on here: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-b-chapter-2
    It may be a little outdated though but that gives a fair idea of what exactly goes on.

    Whenever the Customer rep picks up you can request to be transferred to a Tier2 officer, and after askingyou a few questions they will transfer the call. And as i mentioned, the easiest way to get to talk to a tier2 and also get relevant information from them is when you've put in a service request prior. It could be about anything at all; You can even say you didn't receive a notice of your transfer etc etc and once they reply to that service request, whenever you call you have a solid reason for your call. Note that they try as much as possible to weed out the 90% of calls that are about case status so don't go that route. 
     
    Again, put in a random service request today, they'll reply in about 7-10days and from there on anytime you call you use that as a valid reason for your follow up. And act dumb and stupid but never mention case status. Just say I put in a request and was following up on that since I haven't heard anything yet etc etc

    Haha thank you, I tried. I just had so many questions about the steps I couldn’t find online so I figured I’ll document as much as I could.

    As of writing this, I have no idea whatsoever of when, or even the whether I will be approved. I just have immense believe.
     
    Most of the extra steps I took in compiling this was to the benefit of others, and hopefully this helps other people on here who need a little info on part of the process that I found out.
     
    1/10/2018: Date of initial i751 filing
    2/05/2019: Date at which my file was transferred from CSC to Nebraska.
    2/10/2019: Received the notice of action about transfer.
    2/15/2019: I decided to create USCIS online account on old and new sites.
    2/27/2019: Action was taken on my case. As to what action exactly, it didn’t state. At this point I had the case tracker app and was tracking about 6 cases around mine that were submitted on my same date 1/10/2018 and also transferred to Nebraska. Some of these cases said that action taken on this date was updating fingerprint and name information.
    3/06/2019: I joined VJ on this date and read some more information. Based off of what I read I decided to just file a service request about not receiving my notice of action about the transfer to try to get movement in my case
    3/08/2019: I filed a SRC (service request) that I hadn’t gotten my Notice of Action of my case being transferred.
    3/20/2019: I received a response saying my case was transferred to Nebraska on 2/05/2019, and they are unable to reprint another notice of action. However, I should use this response as a notification of that transfer. All transfer would be dealt within 60days if no further information is required from applicant.
    In between this time all the 6 cases around mine that I was tracking on the app tracker got approved and disappeared. I was beginning to feel very down and terrified.
    4/08/2019:  I decided to call USCIS# 800-375-5283 (1,1,2,2, #) to speak to customer care. Asked that I be transferred to Tier 2 officer. I said about not receiving my NOA of transfer, but received service response saying case was transferred to Nebraska and quoted the line that said, The letter said that “Transferred cases will be adjudicated within 60 days if no further information is needed”. Since this was the 61st day I was just following up. The tier 2 lady was very nice, and she opened my file, was looking through and told me that everything is okay so far and there haven’t been any issues so I’m fine. She then said they are going to next send my info off for background check. I thank her and then hang up.
    4/12/2019:  I called back to Tier 2 officer again using same strategy about not receiving NOA and quoting the 60day rule in the service response. Since this was the 65th day I was just following up. Tier 2 officer told me to hold and came back saying they moved my case into background check on 4/10/2019. I thanked him and hang up.
    4/16/2019: I called back to Tier 2 officer again using same strategy about not receiving NOA and quoting the 60day rule in the service response. Tier 2 officer told me my case was pending for officer review/adjudication. And next thing might either be a transfer to local office for interview, or approval.
    4/22/2019: I called back to Tier 2 officer again using same strategy. Tier 2 officer told me my case was pending for officer review/adjudication. And next thing might either be a transfer to local office for interview, or approval.
     
     
    4/26/2019: I received new card is being produced notification.
     
    My conclusions:
    1.       It is easier to get tier 2 officer to give you more information than necessary if you’ve filed a service request earlier and quote something they stated in there as a reason for you following up
    2.       There’s no exact order in which cases are adjudicated as we all know by now. In my own opinion:
    3.       After cases are transferred, and a lower level officer quickly skims through to identify any pertinent missing documents, and then rfe’s are issued to get those out of the way.
    4.       The remaining cases are then sent to be reviewed by another officer, and if there’s a tentative approval they are sent for a background check. I figured this from my first conversation with the Tier2 lady when she said everything looks okay on you file from what I’m looking up on here, so the next thing will be a background check.
    5.       Once the background check comes in (usually within 4 to 5days), then a final supervisor looks over on the recommendation of approval from prior officer and then gives final approval. This also might explain why approvals come in a bunch on a day. I figured this when I called the 2nd time to talk to Tier2 agent. He was giving me very generic answer about your file is pending for officer review and depending on what happens it might either be adjudicated or sent to local office for interview. This usually takes between 7-10 days I believe

    I haven't particularly noticed that; but just observing the various patterns i have come to the conclusion that one of the best things that speeds up processing is to get an rfe, and get it early. Because most rfe responses get approval within 2-3weeks. 
    If I could jinx my file and get an rfe at this point, trust me I will. At least that way I know Within a month something good will happen.

    I'm a CSC, with 5th Feb transferred to Nebraska and I just today got a message saying 'new card being produced'  !!!
     
    The app has that info on also so I guess finally I can believe that my 10 year green card is on it's way.
     
    For all those 5th Feb CSC to Nebraska people -  I hope yours is on it's way too any day now. I know the pain and the frustration wondering why others and not you. I honestly thought I was going to get an RFE but - there is hope and I'm sending positive thoughts that your approval is about to happen.

    Hey guys, I just checked my case, on April 5th we mailed a request for additional evidence for your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. So at least I got some kind of updates...just don’t know what they need yet. Does anyone knows How long it usually take for them to approve the case after I send the evidence back to USCIS?
