Yesterday finally my status of N-400 has changed to "Application is approved and waiting for the oath to be scheduled". I had my N-400 interview in February, 2019 (they couldn't approve because of pending I-751) and I-751 they approved in July, 2019. They never asked for RFE or any other information...the case was just pending for all this time. 

So I guess this is what happens sometimes if you don't get approved on the spot...yes, I contacted senators and congressmen and did an infopass apt, but it never helped 🤷‍♀️

Well now I only worry if they received my address change petition which I've submitted a week ago.  LOL so many things happened in my life since then, now I am in another state and praying for soon oath and the end of dealing with USCIS.

OMGod, now I have some some hope. I Had interview in May, same things happened with I751. So, no help to write to the government?!

Well from my experience USCIS didn't tell anything different to their request...The standard answer given to everyone was "The case is pending. We are unable to give the estimated time of completion". No reasons, no timing...so pretty useless IMO. But yeah congress and senator people were nice to me and willing to help (so I guess not their fault lol)

For me, my case transferred Dec 2018 and my interview was Aug 2019

My 751 was transferred after it was approved. The history of my case proves the "transfer" notice is most likely not true and meaningless. Once again, for those of you who got the transfer notice. I would take it with a grain of salt because once again, your 751 application is not transferred and is most likely at the field office with your 400 application with other hundreds of piles waiting to be adjudicated/approved. Transfer notice is  probably designed in a way to give you false hope about your case, making you falsely believe your case is moving forward with this notice. I would never believe that. I am a naturalized citizen now, and my 751 is still at NBC,lol. Good luck, I would not make too much out of this transfer notice.

I got my oath done on the 29th and was less than an hour with 1000 people from 98 countries.

 

Awesome moment.

 

Got same day passport and traveled out of the country ...  got back in yesterday (feels good to check-in as a citizen for the first time as it has less hassle  ).

 

Wish everyone still waiting all the best.

You need to get an appointment at a US Passport agency for same-day or next-day processing.  Showing imminent travel is usually a requirement.

Congratulations, I would just patiently wait for 400 interview. At least your big victory is 751 approval, enjoy it, you won't need your greencard much longer.

Okay, so here is my saga, part IV.

• We did a naturalization interview that was passed, but because the ROC was still stagnating several hundred miles away, in Laguna Nigel, they asked for more information that I have acquired to verify the continuation of the marriage to this date, as we did not have a combination interview and they were even shocked that we would be coming in without the green card in hand.
• They requested a copy of our I-797 from Laguna Nigel (we filed in November 2017, it was sent to Laguna Nigel in March 2018 and has sat untouched ever since.)
• We have until September 25th to post our requests for more information directly to San Bernardino vis-a-vis the n-400.
• We just received a letter stating that our I-797 has been sent, not to San Bernardino, but to Lees Summit, Missouri. I looked at some messages there are found that people were writing cheerfully things like, "congratulations! Your green card should be adjudicated within three to five months!" Five months?
• In the interview, they were even suggesting that if we got our information in quickly enough, we could be at the oath ceremony in September/October.

Somebody please tell me that you have been through this, that I should not be freaking out and phoning them up to ask them why San Bernardino, my local field office that told me they requested my files, does not have them, that because of this issue they will make a speedier decision than five months. (Five months?) and that it will work out, that the Green Card will not gum up the naturalization...Yikes. My head is just spinning think about all the possibilities (and none of them are good).

Given that the information in that I-797 is now almost two full years out of date, will they ask for an RFE? On the other hand, the ROC is contingent upon proving two years of continuous marriage and cohabitation, which we have proven as of the date we filed the filed the I-797. In two thousand and seventeen.

I am freaking out. This is all backwards and it is all a nightmare.

Addendum to this--is this time to lawyer up, in your opinion?

I thought all files route through Lees Summit before going to the local office although I could be wrong.

So following my transfer notice I received on Aug 16th, I got another transfer notice for Aug 20th. No letter in the mail however when I checked status via call it says it was transferred to Nigel Laguna which is the original place I filed. WAC. This don’t make no damn sense.my guess is, my file was probably abandoned in the facility and someone just stumbled on it and dusted it up triggering the update I got. Bullocks!!!!’

I actually called today and spoke to an agent who was kind enough to break it down for me.

My I-751: 

08/16: Transferred to NBC

08/20: Transferred to Texas Service Center. (He speculates this could be to my local field office(Dallas))

 

N400:  is at Dallas Field Office.

 

I guess I just have to wait and see if interview date will come in the next few months or sooner.
