Finally, the day has arrived for me to share the good news. I got approved yesterday after 3 years and 5 months of filing ROC. I believe I was the only one waiting on this thread. Phew!!

Here's my timeline
 
CIS Office :    California Service Center
Date Filed :    11th June 2018
NOA Date :    28th June 2018
RFE(s) :    No
Bio. Appt. :    12th June 2019
Bio Completed(Walk in)   05 June 2019 
Current Status : "Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken" since 8th June 2019

In a surprising turn of events as I thought my I-751 was on hold due to my N-400, my I-751 was approved this morning! Worth noting that I called USCIS repeatedly this week as my ADIT stamp is expiring. Did it have an impact? Maybe, or maybe it’s just a coincidence. 
 
regardless, given that my interview for my N-400 was cancelled due to COVID and that I am in the Manhattan office, i am glad to finally have a proof of status that will last throughout this crisis! 

I JUST GOT A TEXT MESSAGE with USPS TRACKING NUMBER from  expecting a package from - CHATSWORTH CA 91311 
 
Is it the GREEN CARD production center ?

It is truly good to see many more April 2018 applicants making great progress in their journeys. I have been a silent reader of vj and reading everyone's stories really kept me up with the wait for my i751. I am probably one of the very last one approved for i751, if there are still someone waiting, keep your chins up, things will go well for you. I think I need to share mine for someone who might find it helpful.
I751 received by uscis on April 10, 2018
Notice for no biometric in July 2018
Moved in October 2018
Case transferred to NBC on May 2, 2019, notice sent to old address
All responses for inquiries came from field office, case had stayed there at least since July 2019
Passport stamp in November 2019, clerk mentioned case in queue for interview
Case approved without interview in February, both aprroval notice and green card sent to old address. I had to come back to my old apartment and creepily kept ringing the doorbell for 10 minutes before receiving my mails back. What if the guy just had thrown it away? My lucky day then.
The wait was terrible, but I tried to distract myself by work and some hobbies to have no down time to think about what may have happened next to me. And if you move during the process, make sure you keep good relation with whoever stays at your old address, since uscis does not care about your change of address form that you have submitted, and they seem to be OK if someone has your green card, and they will try to have you paying for the i90 and waiting for another year at least to produce one for you.
May the Force be with you, April warriors.
 

I also went for the infopass last week to get I-551 stamp. The officer told me the same thing that these cases take longer time and he does not have any idea how long more it will take.
He said, you are good for another 1 year with this stamp ( in other words he meant, don't even ask us again for 1 year lol )

You are not alone on the waiting queue. Many like us still waiting. I filed I-751 in June 2018, more than 20 months and still waiting ..

Thanks @nya22. People like me are still waiting . 

Congrats @nya22 ! Gives us all still waiting some hope !

Someone plz shower some good luck upon all the ones who are still waiting .. This wait is indeed frustrating and you can't do nothing other than just wait

Updated the spreadsheet. Apologize in advance if I missed anything.

Hi , welcome back! 
Hopefully you bring some luck  😅for the rest of us waiting for an approval. 

Hi guys....so sorry that I was not on here for a while! I was making huge career jumps and needed to dedicate my time to that. I promise that I'll update the sheet soon and add all the new approvals and new members to get accurate stats.
 
Also......CONGRATS to all those who got approved!!!!!!!!!  

Finally after 28th days from biometric I got an approval email yesterday, no interview . I wish everyone the best, and no I’m not filing for n400. Thanks to all the amazing folks who kept this forum running for a whole year. Congrats to everyone who got approved and to everyone who is wait keep the faith.
