I-751 September 2017 Filers

[hir0 49]

I hope to get some help here.. I applied for ROC 9/2017 (pending) and N-400 9/2018 (interview 1/7/2019, submitted for approval by the agent). Since my N-400 interview, only the status of my I751 changed to “Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction”. No update on my N400. Is this normal a week after the N400 interview?

 

about the combo pending I751 and N400 application, the agent told me that she reviewed my case (she had everything since the K1 visa) and it was good enough proof to not need my husband to be there. If my file was smaller or not as strong, he’d have needed to come to my N400 interview (it was early and he was in bed). The agent also explained me that due to the double application, if i’m approved (which i was), my I751 will be approved but I won’t get a 10year GC because my N400 would also be approved and I’d be scheduled for naturalization (and there’s pretty much no need for the 10year GC). During the N400, the agent will have every single document you ever sent, make sure to send enough and if you want, you can ask your US spouze to come with you). I hope this helps someone..

Congrats to you!

i applied N400 in august of 2018 but still pending. I did biometrics in sept 2018 and i haven’t heard anything since then.

i’m hoping to hear good news regarding both my I751 and N400 soon. 

Congrats again!

Thank you.. I hope my status will finally change online. 

 

I wish you a lot of luck and a speedy process. The timeframe for the N400 depends on where you live, but it’s definitely faster than it appears on the website (when I submitted it, I had a timeframe of 20months - may 2020).

Oh really? Mine says the same thing feb 2020 estimated completion. 

On dec 21 i received a letter saying that they are done with the preliminary review of my application and that it was transferred to National benefits center. I am CSC filers. I dont know what NBC do. I’m really hoping to get my I751 and N400 be approved before my 18months extension letter expires.

 I’m a CSC filer too and had a may 2020 estimated date for the N-400. Well, I hope it won’t take that long to schedule me for the oath. I’m pretty sure you’ll have it before then. I wish you a lot of luck!!

It may depend on the city and state you live in for the N-400. I’m in TN. My I751 case was transferred to the local office in 2/2018, then again in 1/2019 (3 days after I had my N400 interview). I hope you get through it quickly. For me, they combined the I751 and N400 during the interview.

I was wondering how did you know they are almost ready to schedule our I751 and N400 interviews? I’m really hoping to hear good news from NBC soon.

It's coming!) How I know? I had read a lot of forums and people's experiences. USCIS sending unfinished I751 to NBC only in case if you already applied for citizenship, and then they sending it to local office for interview. How fast? It's depends how busy your local office. Good luck!

That’s good to know! I’m really hoping for speed process and approval. Good luck to us

Ugh my application for I751 was submitted in july of 2017. Havent heard anything until dec 21 when they told me they finished with the preliminary review of the application and was transffered to nbc. I dont know what kind of preliminary review that is. But i’m hoping for positive news soon.

I am travelling out of the country with I751 ROC pending as well as N400 pending. On the way back I have both the letter. what should I show the customs agent the N400 receipt or I751 18 month extension letter ? Anybody in the same boat and traveled internationally already ?

I've been out and into the country 4 different times with extension stamp and expired green card without any issues at all ... You should be good with just the extension letter and the card

with the way my case and some others on here are currently going, I'd say yes. Especially if it takes longer period to complete N400 in your local field office (like Dallas) ... you're looking at between 16 months to 22 months
