Hi Guys,

 

I want to know if anyone in the same situation as I am right now. I am a I-751 DEC, 2015 filer Vermont center, I have not received any feedback from USCIS since the finger print, NO RFE, NO INTERVIEW NOTICE, I called them twice, and also spoke to the tier 2 officer, both they said I am still under FBI security background check, they don't know how long it can be finished.

 

So I filed my N-400 in Dec, 2016 based on 3 years marriage, and had my interview done this week, I passed the test, but the decision can not yet be made. Because the IO who interviewed me said my I-751 is still pending, she cannot make the decision before my I-751 is approved, so she needs to see my I-751 package first, then make the decision.

 

Does that make sense? Does anyone experience the same situation as I did? What should I expect next and what should I do right now?

 

Besides, i received 2 strange texts after my N-400 interview and said that my N-400 case was updated, asked me to go to the website to check, then i visited the website, actually, there was nothing changed. The number who texted me was strange, I don't think its USCIS, its a umber from NM state, how did that happen?

 

Thank you so much for your help and reply.

I'm doing my N-400 I did my biometric this past Wednesday, but based on 5 yrs, I got a text also like 10:48pm and 3:30am and nothing is updated, actually today can't even check the "check your case status" 😳 Is this # legit ? Bc I remember the first time they sent me the text message it was only 4 #. 😳

What was the number? 

CR1 / DCF (London): 2012 / 2013 (4 months from I-130 petition to visa in hand)

I-751 #1- April 2015 [Denied]

 

April 2015 : I-751 Joint filing package sent fedex next day 09:00am from UK ($lots - thanks). 
Jan 2017: Notification that an interview has been scheduled at a local office. Bizarrely still no RFE... 
Jan 2017: 2hr wait, then interview terminated before it began, due to moving my ID to another state 2 wks prior. New interview 'in a few months...maybe.'   Informed them that divorce proceedings are underway, but not finalised at this time. 
March 2017: An Interview was scheduled - marked as no-show as they didn't actually send out a notification of interview. FML 
April  2017: Filed an official complaint with the ombudsman, and have requested Senator & Congressman assistance
August 2017: Interview - switched to a (finalised) divorce waiver. Told that decision will be made that afternoon, but no problems foreseen with my case. 
October 2017: Letter of Denial received - reason given as 'I-751 petition was not properly filed'. Discovered ex-spouse made false allegations to USCIS in 2015. No opportunity given to review & refute allegations  - contrary to USCIS policy.

I-751 #2 - Oct 2017 - Mar 2021[Denied] 

 

October 2017: Within 72hrs of receiving denial notice, a new waiver I-751, divorce decree & $680 cheque, sent to Vermont via FedEx overnight 9am priority.  
Dec 2019: Filed FOIA request for full A# file
Feb 2020: FOIA request completed - entire A# file received as a .PDF; 197 pages fully redacted, and 80 partially redacted. Don't waste your time!
March 2021: I-751 #2 denied for lack of evidence. No RFE, no interview, and evidence in previous I-751 not reviewed - contrary to policy. Huge errors in adjudication.

N-400 - Feb 2018 - Apr 2021 [Denied]

 

February 2018: N-400 filed online.  $725 paid to the USCIS paperwork wastage fund

February  2019: Interview - cancelled after a four hour wait due to 'missing paperwork' on their end. Promised Expedited reschedule.

March 2021: Interview letter received, strangely dated after I-751 denial. No I-751 interview conducted. N-400 interview and test passed, given 'cannot make a decision at this time' paper due to the ongoing I-751 nightmare...

April 2021: N-400 denial received citing recent I-751 denial as basis for ineligibility, even though it should have been a combo interview 🤯

I AM JACK'S COMPLETE LACK OF SURPRISE

 I-751 Service Motion - March 2021 [Sent via FedEx & COMPLETELY IGNORED by USCIS]

 

March 2021: Service Motion request sent overnight addressed direectly to field office director, requesting urgent review and re-opening, based on errors in adjudication - citing USCIS policy, AFM and memorandums as basis for errors. This was completely ignored by USCIS.

 I-751 #3 - June 2021 - Jan 2024 [Denied]

 

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

June 2021: I-751 #3 (30+lbs/5000 pages of paperwork) & another $680 sent to USCIS via FedEx ($300+..thanks) .... 

June 2021: Receipt issued, card charged, biometrics waived, infopass scheduled for I-551 stamp number ten.....

Feb 2022: RFIE (no, not an RFE, a Request For Initial Evidence) received, for copies of the divorce paperwork that they already have 😑

July 2022: Infopass for I-551 stamp number eleven.....

August 2023: Infopass for I-551 stamp number twelve....

January 2024: Denial received, ignoring the overwhelming majority of the filing, abundance of evidence, and refutation of a provably false allegation. The denial also contradicts itself in multiple places, as if it was written by someone with an IQ <50.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

2024: FML. Seriously. I'm done.

Many of us got texts about updates. They must have done something in their system that generated a bunch of texts that shouldn't have been sent.

 

The number I got my texts from is the exact same number I got texts from when I went through the K-1 back in 2015/2016, so I know it's legit. No need to worry, it's most likely a glitch in their system.

 

On USCIS website there was info about how the "tools" were gonna be down on July 9, so that might explain it.
