wow that is a long processing window. I remember when first applying for a GC people on this forum would contact their local senator and that would push it along if they had been waiting for over a year, but I think they had at least hit the lower number processing time. If you have literally not heard anything or received anything in the next month or so it might be worth reaching out to your senator. Feel free to use my case that only took 3 months and was sent in and completed throughout the whole covid pandemic to show that other cases are also being completed efficiently. However I completely understand if you don't want to do anything that drastic though. umm did you sign up for the online account where you can check case status? A lot of my updates came from that rather than letters in the post.

Thanks, yeah I signed up for the online account which back with my initial GC showed a lot more updates than the normal case status or what I got in the mail. Will take your advice and wait until it hits at least the lower limit of the processing time and reach out to them to ask about Biometrics and Case Status.

Probably will be applying for naturalization before hearing anything about the I-797.

I submitted my application for removal of conditions in May 2019 but i never heard anything for biometrics or interview schedule.
My 18months extension expired took appointment for stamp in passport but officer said case is under 18months to 24months.
Really long wait is this just me or common.
Thank You

That sucks I am really sorry to hear that!! I am not really sure what to suggest as you are not far away from hitting that 24 month date. I remember some people reaching out to their local senator when they also had similar long waits and that definitely seems to nudge things along to the next step. Although totally understand if you don't want to do that and I guess the other option is to reach back out to USCIS when you hit 24 months. Was your original Greencard through marriage or work? If Marriage i'm guessing you hit that 3yr requirement before applying for citizenship so it might just be worth starting that if that is something you want!

We have no kids and made our USA Wills and POA
It was free and super easy to do.
My UK my dad made me do through a solicitor, when we went home to visit as my grandparents recently died, so Wills was very much in his mind. Very glad I did that.
Hope this helps. I will be applying for citizenship in a years time when I become eligible
Was yours approved without a 2nd interview?

Thanks so much!! My case approved without any interview. I definitely made a strong evidence package when sending in my application. However, It was also during the height of the pandemic so that is more likely the reason why i didn't have an interview. All the best on your journey and good luck!!
By the way, did you have any affidavits from friends/family as evidence? I saw in the instructions that they are an example of evidence (at least 2) but not sure how many I’ll submit…
