I-171H in 6 days!!!
I was shocked. We turned in our I600a and got our fingerprints taken last Wednesday. I came home from work today and found our I-171H waiting for me!
 I almost hate to post this because I know that there are so many people waiting months and months for theirs but I was so excited I had to share. Plus, I wanted to give hope to anyone using the Pittsburgh USCIS office that they move super fast!

Congratulations--wonderful news! I'm so happy that you were able to get yours so quickly. We waited about 2 months for ours last August thru October. I'm happy to hear that they're moving faster now.

Well they did have banners up that it was Customer Service Week at the office when we were there lol - guess they meant it.
I would love to find a way to let the 'higher ups' know how pleased we were with the service at our office - wonder if there is a way to do that? Or does the government not care? hehe
