They said they checked the new website and it just said case was received. as you can see it says "MYUSCIS" and also someone asked him the same question, see july 2019 thread

Depends on what they mean by not transferred. The transfer does not show up on egov.uscis.gov website as a status. It shows up on my.uscis.gov website if the case is getting properly updated. 
 If it is negative for both, then they are not transferred.
 
In their case, it seems my.uscis.gov never worked so it is hard to tell.
 

Someone from July 13 2019 got approved and their case was not transffered. Do you think is safe to say they are looking at July 2019 for the people that were not transffered?
 
 
 
 
Hello everyone! Congratulations to all the approvals!!!
I just checked my case online and I have gotten approved myself! 
Here it's my timeline: 
Date Filed 2019/07/13
NOA           2019/07/22
BIO APPT. 2019/11/22
Aproved    2020/05/12
I had to check on "the old site", because MyUSCIS never really updated. For me it got stuck with "We have received your case, you don't have to do anything..."
Also the "old site" got stuck for ever in "As September 14th, fingerprints has shown to be taken" It did not even updated for when I got my fingerprints' appointment in November.
For all of those still waiting, I wish you all luck, and I hope ya'll get approved soon. I know how difficult and stressful this road is but is totally worth it!
P.S My receipt number was a Texas Center  SRC1990, please feel free to ask if you have any question, thank you.

Yes, it should be good.

It is not good or bad. Just a different queue. Cases will get processed either way.
 
May 2019 filed cases are somewhere around SRC1990356xxx and beyond (roughly) and this series ends at the end of fiscal year around end of of September 2019 with series SRC19900568xxx (that is roughly 212,000 cases in total, out of which about 4.5% cases are I-751 on average. Lookup each batch of 1000 cases and it may have anywhere from 20 to 75 cases in it, but on average about 40 to 50 cases.)
 
October 2019 series begins new fiscal year and cases start at SRC209000xxx and around mid-March (when USCIS offices closed) case numbers are SRC2090220xxx. So that is 220,000 cases
 
212000+ 220000 = 432,000 cases
 
432,000*4.5% = 19,440 cases for I-751 (just for SRC cases, others not included)
 
Sometime last year cases were transferred to Potomac Service Center  and other locations in a big batch. Also a few cases get transferred to "new office that has jurisdiction" as soon as they are filed (don't know why, perhaps for interview, address change, randomness).
 
So that leaves roughly about 15,000 cases "floating" in Texas Service Center pile. Sometime around April 20th 2020 and after, they started moving cases filed July 2019 and beyond to local offices which saw immediate approvals in days. Hence the random approvals across July, August, September, October, November, December 2019 etc.
 
Actually if just 10 people volunteer to build a spreadsheet it would help immensely to find out what is happening. The case-wise data is public as a Case status and there is the case tracker app to lookup 500 cases at once and filter to I-751 cases. We do not need exact numbers, just a trend. It will help ALL the people waiting and give a better idea.
 
A sample of spreadsheet  below. Left side SRC2090 - this first seven characters of the receipt number are common for cases filed October 2019 and after. Next three digits are listed in a column. And on the top you can the last three digits listed in 100 case interval.
 
So SRC2090350900 onwards there are 20 cases of  I-751 till SRC2090351000.
 

Im impressed. So are you saying all the people randomly approved from september/october/december, they were transffered to local officies?
 
Shouldn't this be good for people who did not get transferred (like me) because it should lower the case load for the office that holds my case, as they have shipped some off. So Im starting to get confused if are actually around may or june or july (for the people that were not transffered)

This seems to make sense. My case (waiver) was not transferred and I was eying what month the cases were at and they had just started may about two weeks ago when all the free for all frenzy started to happen with spetember, october and even december cases. 
 
If your file got transffered to the local office after May 2020, what does that mean...? mine didnt get transffered, is that bad?
 
Also- how did you get this data? 400k cases, 4.5% ROC?

Checking out AoS forums and AoS timelines, no interviews are being scheduled so far. Typically they are scheduled 5 weeks in advance. Each office will have to establish a procedure for safe interview and get it approved. That will take time. I would be surprised if any get scheduled till mid-July. They will prioritize humanitarian cases and notice-to-appear type cases that require in-person appearance. Run of the mill AoS and Naturalization cases they are not going to bother with for now. They took the money, now couldn't care less if takes 2 or 3 years to process them - I am kidding.
 
My experience with interview was that there was a holding pen where all of us waited in a crowded area and they called out names and took us to a tiny office for interview. That all will have to change.
 
If they are smart they ought to develop a video room where you go and the officer watches you via video from another room and interviews you. Completely contactless. That ensures people do the naturalization test without cheating etc.

Well we have 4 more weeks until Offices starting to open.
So basically I hope they get done most of the cases, because after that when they start to do interviews again, who knows if RoC cases will go to some dark room where everyone forgets about them
 
Do you know if they are already scheduling interviews beginning June 4th, or they will start to issue notices then with 3-4 weeks in advance.
Basically if they start issue notices then, that means interviews will start earliest June 25th and onward, that means more time for RoC

It seems not-transferred cases getting approved are from May 2019. There are roughly 400,000 cases of all types filed at TSC from May 2019 to March 2020. Out of those approx. 4.5% are RoC cases. So roughly 18000. A chunk of those got sent to Potomac sometime in last year and this year. Another chunk got sent to NBC to be routed for interviews at local offices. So about 15000 cases are floating around that are hopeful of getting an officer to look at them taking advantage of the workload transfer. Fingers crossed that all of us get to be one of those.

Based on soft LUDs, cases started moving to local offices around April 22-23, 2020. Those cases were filed from July 2019 onwards. 
 
Most of current approvals were transferred by April 30 or before at the local offices. 
 
I have not seen cases with soft LUDs in May 2020 get approved yet. Please post if you seen such approvals.

Did you figure out from what PD date they transferred cases?
I've seen form September maybe August 
 
Maybe texas got to April and they kept cases up to mid August, and then Mid August to Mid January was moved to local offices, so they have half half to do in next month or so.

Cases filed up to Jan 21, 2020 have been moved to local offices by May 6, 2020 as part of workload transfer. There are some cases after that date that have been moved to local offices but those were done soon after filing so are not part of workload transfer cases.
 
I have not seen cases that received May 7, 2020 "fingerprint complete" update moved to local offices yet. If anyone has, please post.
 
This forum has such a small sample size  (out of the total cases filed) that finding someone in the same local office with similar case situation is rare unless  you are from major metro like NYC, LA etc.

So as far I see, this is first time i751 was transferred to local offices, usually when they want to schedule second interview, case go to NBC in MO.
My guess is Local offices now have plenty of free time to work with these, and since they already conducted interviews on those cases they are approving them in record time. And thats why there are so many approvals in recent days(last 2 weeks). Mostly I saw are states like AZ, GA, TX.
Anybody with Louisiana local office?
What do you guys think?
 
 
Did you see anybody got RFE in last 2 weeks for cases that were transferred to local offices?

As others said the law says that you have to carry it with you.
Personally I have a color photo copy of it in my wallet and a pic on my phone, but I am not going to risk to lose it. It costs $500 to replace which would be fine if it wouldn't take a year to get a replacement card....
The only time it's on me if I go further than a few hours from home or traveling somewhere.

Thank you everyone! I will buy a card holder to put that and the DL in it. That way, if I lose my wallet at least I don't lose the green card.

Yes the law says you should carry it . I carry mine.  #Comply 

Hi everyone,
I recently got my conditional green card and was wondering if I should carry it with me all the time. What do you do with it?

I included a copy of my wife's i94 history with her application. It showed Arrival and Departure dates that are accurate. Maybe that will help you out along with the passport copies.
 
https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/history-search

Can you comment on whether the passport stamps are legible?  I swear this has to do with the current administrations tough stance on immigration.   

But they can look up the I-94's to see when she entered and exited the US.  This just seems like busy work to me.  Can I print the I-94's from online?    

I am going to make an assumption here that whoever is adjudicating my application already has our itineraries and photos.  But I appreciate your feedback 🙂.  I also sent a table listing all of our trips with clearly marked post it notes attached to all original pictures and itineraries.
 

Yes, the date I filed was December 2019. She traveled here a total of five times.  That passport is obviously outside, sorry, but this is an example of the legibility.  I guess I will have to translate what Entrada means.  

Ok, so I recieved an RFE to complete the 2 year requirement.  But am dumbfounded what they need? I included airline itineraries back to Venezuela on all five of her trips here.  Seems like job justifying work to me .  However, I will send them copies of her passport that clearly show that she recieved an "entrada" stamp for all five visits.  Other than going around asking for affidavids from people, I do not have access to anything else and I need to get this to the USICS processing center in California by July  13th 2020.  My question is: Assuming they can read the passport stamps, will this satisfy the requirement?     ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.  I have included one photo from her passport. 
 
THanks for any and all comments

A brief statement should be more than enough stating your intent to marry, and I would get both of you guys to sign both the petitioner and beneficiary letters of intent to marry. Once your fiancé arrives at the US, even a court ceremony would suffice and can push back the real wedding until you’re able to afford it.
 
we did submit a statement of meeting stating how we met and then the many times after that on how we met very briefly describing the relationship. It doesn’t hurt at all to submit this, especially since your relationship is 7 years long. 
 
it depends on the CO. Some do accept paystubs or even a letter from the employer stating your income, but some might strictly want the tax transcript to reflect your ability to meet the 100% poverty guideline which was the case for us. So it’s better to always have a joint sponsor when your fiancé go to the interview. Someone in your immediate family would be ideal. He could just use this, if the CO does not accept your paystubs.
