Hello!
 
I submitted my i-751 case on December 3d, 2021 and today, after 17 months of waiting I finally got approved. Woo-hoo! It has been a long -XXX wait... Approval came in at midnight on May 4th  Maybe something to do with Force.
It appears WAC started working on December 2021 cases, so hopefully everybody who submitted their case in that month will get approved soon.
Good luck!

Congrats!! I received my 10 year green card on May 11th. I can relate to the excitement to have it finally in hand!!

No, I am in 25XXX range.

Congratulations @kotenya!
Was your case ending with 245xx?

There indeed have been approvals in upper ranges. There are more approvals/RFEs and less i-751 cases left to review in 27xxx range than in 24xxx range. It is hard to figure out how USCIS decides which cases to approve first, sometimes it looks random. I did see consistent approvals/RFEs in 23xxxx range and in 24xxx range, and some movement in 25xxx range in the last few weeks. This suggests to me that both our cases should have a decision soon.

I know it won't help 'cause it didn't help me, but just don't think about it! Hang tight and hold on! I feel you!

Fun fact: 24xxx and 25xxx ranges were skipped for some time pretty much. There's movement and approvals in 26xxx range and above happening already.
 
I'm focused on 24xxx range, but it doesn't mean there's nothing happening in other ranges. Also, USCIS doesn't process cases following First in First Out approach strictly speaking...
 
Let's hope you get approved soon!

I just want tell everyone to not get discouraged if you receive your extension letter! I got a notification in the app that my "my card is being produced" on March 17th and I received my extension letter in the mail on March 18th. I doesn't mean they push you in a corner once they send the extension letter 🤗 Hang in there! ☀️🤞

I thought so too, but then the difference between 24XXX and 26XXX range is only few days. 
 
That could be, but I find it hard to believe many people in 26XXX and 27XXX range applied for N-400, but folks in 24XXX and 25XXX range did not. I'd assume there's people in every range applying and people in every range who decide to wait for I-751 adjudication. 
 
Let's keep observing, that's all I can say 😃

I have received a 48 month extension yesterday, March 18. WAC filer, December 2021. It seems like USCIS sends them in batches. If you haven't received yours yet, don't despair! It most likely will arrive this or next month.

It does not surprise me anymore. They could be trying to improve their processing times. Approving more recent cases would result in lower time it took to approve 80% of the cases. Or some of the approved cases in 26xxx range could be people who applied for citizenship and got their removal of conditions approved. Unfortunately I do not know what happens to i-751 petition status once n-400 is approved. I assume it gets approved but no green card is issued.

And at the rate USCIS is doubling the duration of extension letters, the math says 96 month extension letters before the end of the year.

No surprise given the pace they have been reviewing the cases. Given that WAC receives around 10,000 cases a month it has to review 1,000 cases every 2 business days (10,000 cases/20 business days in a month) for processing times to stay what they currently are. For at least i-751 cases, the ones I am tracking, this pace has been about a quarter of that. 

It looks like we’re all gonna get a second notification of 1-751 extensions with a 48- months extension. https://share.newsbreak.com/2wiagcih

Sometimes I try to persuade myself that time runs slow because of the holidays but they've been reeeeeaaally slow with November cases. If they continue at this pace my case will probably be looked at next month if I'm lucky (215xx+ batch). I'm just ranting, of course, but it's starting to get even more annoying)) 

CaseTrack shows quite a few approvals for 21xxx WAC filers happening this week - January 3d and 4th.  I checked on December 5th before that. They were working on 19xxx cases. Given that WAC receives around 10,000+ total (I-751, I-129F, I-539 etc.) cases a month they went through less than a week's worth of i-751 cases in the last month... Hope they will pick up the pace this year

Thank you so much, I did it

@zDarkAngelz get CaseTrack app. Then go to search, enter a receipt number and how many cases you want to check starting with that receipt number. Let's say your case is MSC2290015xxxx, and you would like to see if anyone in 10xxx series got recently approved. Then enter MSC2290010000 and search for 250 cases. If there are a lot of I-751 cases that show as being approved these are probably the cases that your service center is working right now on. You can usually tell the date these cases were received by a few cases of other types that show case received status. The app allows to filter to specific types of cases and see the distribution of statuses. Hope this helps!

Actually, the first 4 digits for MSC are the same as for WAC - yy90, where yy is the fiscal year. The rest of 6 digits indicate the order in which cases are received in a year. I checked MSC2290000XXX sequence and found no i-751 case which may indicate that majority of cases received before October 1st, 2021 (start of fiscal year 2022) have been processed. Once the card for i-751 has been received there is no way to tell it was a i-751 case from the receipt number.  I will check a few of the later sequences to see what dates MSC might be processing right now.

Hi @zDarkAngelz! 21xxx refers to the last 5 digits of the case.  Can you provide the first 5 digits for your case after the three letters (MSCxxxxx)? The first 2 indicate the federal government fiscal year (so it will be 21 for 2021) and the other three, it looks like, may vary from service center to service center.
