Filed my I-751 in early August 2002 and received a NOA a few weeks after. It does
the usual thing, extending conditional green card for 1 year, but on the letter it
says that I should contact the field office if i haven't heard from them again within
2 (two) months . . .
. But, in previous postings, people mention a "do not disturb" for 12 months. Did
the INS printer cut off a digit (it is on the margin of the page), or are they
expediting this process?

Also, will the next letter tell me about an interview (or automatic acceptance) or
will it merely tell me that they are posting my file to the nearest sub-office. And
does one then wait again? What is the general wait after receiving the NOA? And, if
no interview, how quickly? And, if interview, how quickly?

my thanks to my fellow immigrants, marcus

The two months is probably right. The wait times are considerably reduced now. If you have given them the necessary documents you will be approved without an interview. If you say which service center someone with recent experience they, will post a reply I'm sure.

All depends on which service center you are using. Vermont is still quoting 365 day way for decisions on I-751s.

My apologies, but forgot to add that i filed I-751 at Nebraska Service Center. Can
anyone provide an update of timeline for this office?

thanks to all those who replied, Marcus

Nebraska is taking about 5 months for the turn around. If you are scheduled for an interview, it could take upto about two months longer. Do a search on this group on google using "Alecia Johnson". She filed in September of 2001 was interviewed and approved by April of 2002. Not too shabby.

Thanks, Ranjini, for the update on the timeline. But, then, another question. The
NOA says that i _should_ contact them if i haven't heard from them after two months
of NOA date. But, if it's going to take about 5 months anyway, should i bother, only
to be told that . .
. . ?

Again, thanks to all those who post. Marcus

Marcus, it's entirely possible that the timelines have improved even further. So do just that. Contact them and talk to a real person. And keep in touch with what goes on.
