same boat burger

I got 18 months , then like a month after I got one for 24 months extension and I done complete 7 months of filing from it, am really confused

Thanks, @Waiting Patiently! Reading tea leaves here, but is it that such cases are slam dunk and we wouldn't need an extension, or is Vermont backlogged to even send out updated I-797 24-month NoAs!?! Did others, plus/minus, get 24-month extensions out of Vermont?

I got 24 m extension in November

I didn’t receive a 24 month expiration letter. I did an expedite request though back in December and they said my case should have a decision or action within 60 days. We’ll see what happens.

@Harry Potter, did you file May 2021?

@Pinky D, did you file in May 2021 and then request expedite processing in Dec?

filed March 2021

@Bugs Burger. No I actually filed in July 2020.

I’m a May 2021 filer I got the same treatment as you did. I got an 24 month extension letter in November too.Im now waiting…..

@Ria Alex, only I DID NOT get a 24-month extension (yet?). Hoping it means adjudication soon where I wouldn’t possibly need it. Pretty straightforward case.

@Bugs Burger letters sent out were due to them extending wait time and them having a backlog of cases. This was all stated in the letter. It has nothing to do with how strong or not your case is. It’s simply means the process will take longer than usual. Gods speed for everyone.

@Ria Alex; since we have pre and post May 2021 filers that both have and have not received 24-month extensions, I'm guessing they're sorting backlog on additional variables. Or, there simply isn't any method to their madness :)

@Bugs Burger I say it’s the individual who your case ends up with and that’s what it really comes down to. That’s the person with the perspective and whom has the weight to make a decision. As well as how much cases are assigned to that person’s work load, how that person goes through their assigned cases (be it fast or slow). Those are the variables, but do understand that the pandemic did do an huge dent on processing time. Most of the offices were empty for a while, I can say that from experience. Fingers cross and Gods Speed for it is needed.

i got both in august - sept 2021

Had to solicit the I-797 NoA 24-month extension by lodging a “missing notification” on my USCIS account portal. Sad how slow EAC Vermont moves; Visa Journey shows mid-Feb 2021 I-751 getting processed now. That’s 17+ months processing time :(

I just put an outside processing times inquiry- March 12 here

ugh, out to lunch, the lot of them :(
