  1. Applied to remove conditions in June, received receipt notice after a couple of weeks. I’ve just noticed address is slightly wrong. Building number, street name and zip are all correct. But there is no “lane” after street name. ”123 Xxxx” instead of “123 Xxxx Lane” I checked my application and I entered address correctly so this is a mistake on their part. I have submitted a new change of address. Obviously the receipt of notice got here so Post Office didn’t need the “lane”. However, will this cause any other problems? I have a trip abroad in a few months . Unlikely, but COULD a customs agent/airline agent cross reference the address on my receipt notice and the address on, say, my drivers license and be finicky? Or am I just over thinking l? Is it worth asking for a new receipt notice or just leave it? I imagine it would take a year or so to get a new one, even if that’s possible. it’s just a small error but I do worry about these thinks. thanks for reading.
  2. You're right. A quick Google suggests USPS doesn't forward mail from USCIS for security reasons. OK, thanks.
  3. Ugh, I'm really having a stupid moment. I can just do the USPS mail forwarding service, can't I? Silly me. Please delete this topic.
  4. Husband and I will submit I751 on June 24th, the earliest we can do so. We are moving home on July 1, and we will submit AR-11 (for me) and I-865 (for him) notifying USCIS of change of address. I just fear that, by the time USCIS will update their system with my new address, they will send my receipt notice to this current address that we are moving out of. Should I put the new address on the 1751 forms even though we won't be moving out for another week? Or am I just worrying about nothing? If receipt notice does go to old address, is it as easy as calling them to reissue one to new address? Thank you.
  5. Very true, but apart from Alix64's 6-month approval being a computer glitch/bizarre anomaly, which there is no evidence to suggest it is, there has to be something behind it. There was also a thread on page 3/4 on this forum where a November filer had their case approved in 1 month and has proof. So they either trialling something or rolling out something, and I hope it's the latter. If more May filers on here get approval in the next month, we can assume it's the risk-based approach kicking in. Too early to tell.
  6. So, 9 months on from this announcement, do we have any concrete evidence of this policy making a difference on overall processing times? A couple of May 2022 filers recently had their I-751s approved, so that's a timeframe of 6-7 months. But that also sounds like USCIS are applying this risk-based approach only to applications received after the April 2022 announcement. So it could be a case of last-in-first-out for straight-forward cases that don't need a lot of scrutiny/interview. There have also been a few cases where I-751s were approved in as little as 1month. This sucks for the people who were stuck in the queue before April 2022 but last-in-first-out is going to shorten overall processing times on paper for the fiscal year, which is why USCIS is going to do it. It's too early to tell but I am sure we will know more in the next couple of months. We just don't have enough data because people don't update their timelines and tend not to post anymore once they have approval. But perhaps something is happening.
  7. Not due to remove conditions until the summer but the theory that May filers onwards could be the first group to benefit from the risk-based approach does make sense. When USCIS issued that guidance in April 2022, they said it would be effective immediately but perhaps they meant any new cases from that point forward. Uscis has to do something about these long wait times eventually, ,so perhaps it's starting to kick in now. It sucks for the people who have been waiting for 1/2 years but I guess the first-in-last-out approach would significantly reduce overall processing times on paper, which is what the agency needs to do to 'prove' that it's reducing the backlog. I wouldn't be surprised if every 'straight-forward' case from spring 2022 onwards gets approval within 6-7 months, which should be a fair timeframe for everyone. Again, that sucks for those who have been in the queue longer but maybe it's too difficult to retroactively apply the risk-based approach to those applications that have been in the system for a long while. The problem is that it's difficult to identify this pattern as this isn't a very busy forum and people forget to update their timelines. Also, the people who post the most are going to be the ones waiting the longest as they are frustrated and rightfully so. I do wonder how many of the tens of thousands of May 2022 filers have been approved by now and we just don't know about it.
