Thanks. After a couple of sleepless nights and waking up at random hours I was able to schedule the infopass.  My employer asked me to bring new i-551 stamp so I am not sure if that would count as an emergency for them.  I know, that lady checking in people gave me hard time once before when I had my infopass scheduled 😀

I hope to be done with it soon. 

Can you please let me know what time you start checking for infopass. I have been trying for weeks, no luck.

I've been trying at random times during the day and night. Last Friday I was just about to leave for work and I gave it another try and then BOOM 😀 bunch of appointments became available for different days and hours. You gotta keep trying. It will happen.

I got a message that action was taken on my case.  The interview is scheduled but I don't see letter with the date uploaded in my documents yet. The time is coming 😀

Had my interview today. Decision cannot be made. I was told I’d receive a letter in 1 to 3 months that would either be a RFE or a congratulations letter. 

 

Interview lasted 45+ minutes. There was a second IO present in the room who did not speak much but who walked me out. Anyone had a similar experience?

Not at all.  I had my interview last week.  It lasted only 16 min. Since I had my i751 pending he didn't approve me on the spot. Later on that day I saw my i751 being approved and n400 the next day. 

Did you have any red flags?

No; no tickets, no arrests, never married, no children. I did receive my GC through asylum, however, and he asked me a lot of questions about it. Did you see your file? Mine was like a foot high.

I saw mine and it was a big one too but I figured they combined all my cases starting from K1 until N400. If there is no red flags then you should not have to worry about.

Yes, I think all of our immigration history is in that. Thanks, hope so, too. Hope your oath is scheduled very soon!:)

My case is still pending, unfortunately. Officer ended the interview without doing civics, English test. Said my case was too complicated for him lol. Long story about a USCIS error about my date of admission.

OMG you must be kidding me.... If it was too complicated why did they even schedule you for the interview and why they assigned your case to someone so incompetent. I thought they study cases before they send interview letters. I hope you will hear from the soon.

I've given up. Sometimes I think they have a personal vendetta against me lol, but honestly they're downright incompetent and overwhelmed, and they have too much power and too little accountability.

 

When (if?) I become a citizen, I'm going to advocate for laws that restrain this agency, including more legal recourse for applicants.

Congratulations, If you don't mind, May I ask when did you file for I-751 and N-400? also if your case was transferred recently. 

Thanks.
