How long will you wait before requesting from the USCIS about your case.
Currently Request date is about 2 years and 4 months time(Texas center 8 to 28.4 months). Will you wait 2.5 years ?

Yes

howly fykk. Time to forget about uscis.gov and go for a comma state for another 2 years.

You might get your green card soon, don’t worry about it.

USCIS Aims to Decrease Processing Times for N-400 and I-485

USCIS will implement a national strategy to decrease differences in processing times based on location for Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, and Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.

Since the end of 2015, we have experienced an increase in processing times due to higher than expected volumes received during fiscal years (FY) 2016 and 2017 that did not decrease as originally projected. FY 2017 receipts were up 15.6% from FY 2016, and FY 2016 receipts were up 25.5% from FY 2015. The increased filing volumes did not affect our field offices equally, which resulted in some disparity in the processing times among field offices.

As we shift caseloads between field offices to decrease processing times, we may schedule applicants to appear for an interview at a field office outside of their normal jurisdiction. Applicants may receive an interview appointment notice or other types of notices (such as a Request for Evidence) from a field office outside of their normal jurisdiction. However, these caseload changes will not affect where applicants attend their biometrics appointments. We will still direct them to the nearest application support center. Applicants should follow the instructions on any notices they receive from USCIS.

USCIS remains committed to adjudicating applications, petitions, and requests for immigration benefits as effectively and efficiently as possible in accordance with all applicable laws, policies, and regulations while securing the integrity of the immigration system.

If you have questions about an appointment notice we send you, you may contact the USCIS Contact Center.

How long to wait if your case is in Phoenix office? I am not looking for what USCIS website says, but real cases that have been resolved already.

There’s no office in Phoenix. It’s a lockbox facility where they process payments.

I485 Package sent in sep 2018 to TSC, Just received RFE yesterday for my birth certificate, mailed it out today. One thing slightly makes me nervous is the cover sheet, I found a sample online, hopefully it wouldn’t be an issue.

I filed mine in TSC on Aug 2018. I received my Green Card in June 2019. I did not receive any RFE. Hopefully you will receive your approval soon.

Seems like your case got caught up in one of those USCIS backlogs or they might be taking more time for the background checks. Do you mind sharing which country are you from?

I filed in Nebraska also, and in July 2018, It was transferred to Texas Service Center. Hopefully, I am hoping to hear soon about it. My medical has expired its been over a year. Hopefully good news soon!
