Waiting4GC

I know that. The processing time for my area is about 7 months. So I will be happy when I receive my receipt so that it can give me a better idea as to what my wait may be.

I also want to have my ticket number so that I can check it online. I still think it is fast compared to what it has been a few weeks ago.

Well my wait is even worse than yours. My application was received on 07.06.06. I had biometrics done a year later!! and now nothing. Infopass appt was useless as the guy told me that I need to wait.

I sent a letter to my congresswoman and to OMBUDSMAN. I have not hear anything yet.

I alreayd applied to N400. Hopefully that will expedite things. See my timeline in my signature. My service center was NEBRASKA

I just wanted to point out processing time for Nebraska Service Center.

I checked last Monday and they were processing application received through 09.09.07. I check today and they are already processing applications received on 11.07.07.

Mine was received on 11.08.07 and checked was cashed about a week later. I should be hearing from them soon!!

Do you think this may be a typo on their part or are they really that ahead? Here is the link

Mine is also still pending. I sent my N400 on Nov5th and my check was cashed on the 14th. I filed at NSC

The person who signed for the mail is F Gerad HEINAUER, who is the Director for the Nebraska Center.

could you tell me, how did you find his name? i wonder if CalSC has such info?

The signature was on the scan that was sent by USPS. It was at the top of the return receipt

You are on your way. I was looking at the sample questions on the USCIS website earlier today. I guess I am going to have to find out what Claudeth wants to do. She will need some schooling on our US history

I looked at the questions a while back and thought that they were not too bad but there were some that had even Steve's (my USC husband) head scratching. I feel OK with the current event questions as we watch lots of Fox News channel all the time. Steve is addicted to O'Really, Hannity and Colmes, Glenn Beck, etc.

I have already made a few posts but I never really introduced myself. I have been in the US for 8 years now and USCIS has been trying my patience for the last 4.5 years. I am still waiting to get an approval on my I-751 and I just started the Citizenship process.

I am glad I found a forum like this.

I just checked my bank account today to see if by any chance my check was cashed and I was really surprised that they cashed it yesterday. I wasn't expecting to see this until probably another couple of weeks or so but it only took them 4 business days!

Hopefully they will send the NOA soon as well. I will keep you informed. Here is my timeline for the N-400

N-400 in the mail: 11.05.07

Delivered to NSC: 11.08.07

Return Receipt: 11.08.07

Cashed Check: 11.14.07

My check was cashed on 11.14.07!! Hopefully I will receive a NOA soon... Here is my udpated timeline:

N-400 in the mail: November 5, 2007

Delivered to NSC: November 8, 2007

Return Receipt: November 8, 2007

Cashed Check: November 14,2007

You should have filed 3 months prior to the expiration of your Conditional Permanent Residence card. Three weeks prior was too late.

What I know is that You should file for removing of condition WITHIN 90 days prior to the expiration. Means even 1 day before expiration is fine, Am I right?!!

yes you are right, see other posts above

let us know how the infopass appointment goes

I understand that it is "within 90 days" but thinks can happen. Mail can get lost or delay or sent to the wrong place. That is why I said it was too late. Would you really risk sending your application that close to the deadline? I wouldn't.

Anyway, I hope you can solve this.

You should have filed 3 months prior to the expiration of your Conditional Permanent Residence card. Three weeks prior was too late.

I am putting a letter to Ombudsman and the Congresswoman for our area in the mail today.

mississippigal17: As you can see from my timeline, I didn't get an appt for Biometrics until a year after our I-751 was received. It is crazy...

I just don't want the delay in my I-751 to delay the N-400.

Have you contacted your local Congress person for help with this? I notice from your signatuyre that you had your biometrics appointment a year after applying? I wish you the best of luck.

No, I have not. I am sending a letter to Ombudsman and now I will also contact our local congress person to see what they can find out.

My friend is in the same situation as you.... she has filed for citizenship but was still waiting for her 10 year card approval... when she went for her N-400 interview they approved her lifting conditions at the same time, the interviewing officer told her that it happens all the time.... infact filing for N-400 is one of the ways people use to force a decision on their lifting conditions....

Hope you hear something soon...

Well, I am back from my infopass appt. It was just a waste of my time.The officer said that these cases can take 2 years or more to get an answer. My case is waiting to be reviewed by an officer and there is nothing he can do about it. I asked him if there was anything he could do like call or something and he said "Sorry I can't help you like that" The he goes on saying that I should just continue waiting that I will eventually get an answer.

I am frustrated because I know people who applied 6 or 7 months after me, to the same center and we were all from the Chicago area and they got their paper work and GC done in like 7 months.

Hopefully this will not delay my N-400 application and processing....

I can't wait until I am free from the Inmigration Department.

I scheduled an infopass appt for tomorrow first thing in the morning to see what is taking so long with my I-751 approval. On Sep 14 was 1 year since my conditional PR card expired and it is way pass the normal processing time. I have already submitted my N-400 but I want to make sure the I-751 starts moving. I will let you know what "story" they come up with tomorrow. Wish me luck!!

I mailed my N-400 November 3, 2007

Delivered to NSC- November 5, 2007

Cashed Check - November 9, 2007

Return Receipt Received- November 10, 2007

Please let us know yours also.

I'll update my status once I heard something from them.

Thank you.

I put my N-400 in the mail on November 5, 2007

Delivered to NSC- November 8, 2007

Return Receipt Received by Email- November 8, 2007

Cashed Check - ??????

Yes, it's a stamp.

Diana

Thanks, that is what I thought. I could not tell from the notification as I opted to have it emailed to me instead of mailing it back. It is faster.

I have been calling every 30 days to see what is taking so long and one of the letters I received said that my case is "Waiting to be Reviewed by an Officer" What does it mean?

Generally, it means that they aren't doing anything, and that someone will get to your file when they feel like working on them or don't have anything better to do.

That is what I thought but I was trying to be optimistic.

I have a stamp on my passport extending the GC for another 6 months.

I am just excited because my N-400 was received today at the Nebraska Center. The person who signed for the mail is F Gerad HEINAUER, who is the Director for the Nebraska Center. Is this just a stamp with his name? I don't think he retrieves the mail sent himself, right?

I have been reading this forum for a while now trying to see how applications are being handled and to see people's experience in the Inmigration Process.

Today I am posting because I am just frustrated. I applied to remove the Conditions on my Conditional Permanent Residency Card in July of 06. I went for biometrics on July 07 but I have not heard of my case since then. I have been calling every 30 days to see what is taking so long and one of the letters I received said that my case is "Waiting to be Reviewed by an Officer" What does it mean? Have anybody had this type of answer before? How long do you think before I get some sort of answer?

What have I done since receiving the letter dated Sep 19th?

I also made an infopass appt for this coming Tuesday to inquire about my case once again as I don't think the 1-800 line is very helpful. I also submitted my application for Citizenship this week so hopefully it will expedite things.

What is your input on the answer that was provided in the letter? Thanks,

Here is my timeline:

July 2006: I-751 sent and received

July 2006: NOA received

July 2007: Biometrics taken

July 2007: NOA expired.

Currently: Waiting...

I have an infopass appt for Nov 13. If nothing goods comes out of that I will be applying for the N-400. Why are they so slow?/?

Why did you wait so long... you should have filed the N-400 as soon as your were eligible. 90 days before your 3-year anniversary.. July 2007. You may have been a citizen by now...

File the N-400. It will force the adjudication of the I-751.

I just noticed that I put that my NOA expired in July. It actually expired in Sep 07. I didn't know until about a month ago that I was eligible to apply for the N 400 and I was a bit concern about somehow cancelling my I-751. Now that I have read about it, I know that it is what I should do.

Waiting is the name of this game..... I submitted my I-751 Form in July 06. The time was up on Sep 16 07. I am still waiting for the approval of my I-751. I call every 30 days and get the same answer"Waiting for Officer Review" or something like that. I scheduled an Infopass for Nov 13. If I don't get a satisfactory answer then, I will be applying for the N-400. Anybody applied around the same time as I did and is still waiting?

They are only up to January of 2007...so unless your case gets transferred to CSC, which started to happen in July, you won't hear anything for awhile.

Sorry about the confusion but my I-751 was received on July of last year. I have waitied over a year to get it approved. My NOA extending traveling and work expired on Sep 14th of this year. They are reviewing cases received in Jan 07 so they should have reviewed mine almost 6 months ago.

Here is my timeline:

July 2006: I-751 sent and received

July 2006: NOA received

July 2007: Biometrics taken

July 2007: NOA expired.

Currently: Waiting...

I have an infopass appt for Nov 13. If nothing goods comes out of that I will be applying for the N-400. Why are they so slow?/?

Adding dmaddox74 and putting in my biometrics date again, which I'm realizing should be the date of the appointment and not the date of notice.

(guapito/guapita- where did you copy the list from? 'cuz it wasn't from the last one posted)

Waiting is the name of this game..... I submitted my I-751 Form in July 06. The time was up on Sep 16 07. I am still waiting for the approval of my I-751. I call every 30 days and get the same answer"Waiting for Officer Review" or something like that. I scheduled an Infopass for Nov 13. If I don't get a satisfactory answer then, I will be applying for the N-400. Anybody applied around the same time as I did and is still waiting?
