N14 after citizenship interview - Pending I751

[Camelot13 63]

My husband had his citizenship interview on Saturday. He passed the civics and English exam and was told all his papers were in order. However, he has a pending I751, the file was on the officer's desk and for whatever reason he couldn't adjudicate that one while we were there. He said he was sending it back to be processed, which confuses me because I thought if you came up to an N400 interview then your applications would be processed together. Because of the I751, he gave my husband an N-652 which had the box checked for "Please follow instructions on N14" then handwritten "I-751 pending". Neither box is checked for "Congrats your application has been recommended for approval" or "A decision cannot yet be made". I had thought that the N400 being at this point would have forced the I751 to be processed.

 

Has anyone heard of this before? Or have you experienced it yourself? If so, what happened? The I-751 has been pending for 21 months now and I'm so worried that the fact that they didn't adjudicate it at the interview means we've been sent back to wait for months and months to hear some updates.

Just spoke with USCIS and a few updates. Apparently our I751 application is at the Missouri center for processing. We mentioned that his I751 has been processing for 21 months but were told that the Missouri processing time is actually 36 months. Ugh. Not sure why our file was sent there in the first place. I was under the strong impression from everything I've read on these forums that either you got to the N400 interview and had both applications interviewed/processed together OR the N400 interview triggered the I751 to be adjudicated shortly thereafter. From what we just heard from USCIS, the I751 process actually takes precedence and there's no way to expedite it unless for one of their stated reasons (financial loss, medical, humanitarian, etc).

I don't know the answer to your question, but please update us if you find out! That sounds confusing and frustrating.

I had the same situation yesterday June 26, 2018. I passed everything but the officer gave me N-652 and he said I will receive N-14 in the mail. He was asking very insignificant questions about the place I live in and how I have a lease from a person not a company, and keep saying this illegal and keep making up words and situations by his own like sublease, and mortgage and other things. Then he asked about my tax I gave him my tax return for the last 4 years so he asked for W2, how would i file tax return without W2? IDK. at the end said decision can't be made, good luck... what does that means, and what happen after that, and how long this will take????

 

 

thanks.
