maybe the immigration folks are kind of administratively doing the 3 year green card as suggested and kind of converting it to a 3 year CG. The I-751 submission is now supposed to get a 2 year extension. Then the lifting conditions appointment is such a low priority that if you want something done, you file for citizenship and they will then make you a higher priority. You then do both both I-751 and citizenship at the same appointment which you hopefully get, because you filed for citizenship. So, it seems they don't want to handle just a I-751.
