N400 is the citizenship application. I already applied I had interview for both on the same day- November 20- combo interview. I applied for citizenship July 2019 while I was waiting on i-751.

 

They asked me one question really about our marriage. The CO just said "tell me about you, how you met and up to now and I want to hear a little from both of you". We gave him a quick run down about how we met, got engaged etc until now. Then he went through the application form to update anything like our address, my job and make sure everything was accurate like our as numbers etc.

Both applications were approved and they mailed my card and today I got a notification that they mailed my Oath Ceremony date notice. That's all I'm waiting on now.

Combo interview for my I-751/N-400 was last October. Was recommended for approval for citizenship but still waiting on a formal decision. Guessing COVIID and the backlog have takes their toll. Still, would be nice to get to the finish line.

We have similar timeline. I was almost sure, or assumed, yours was completed and a US Citizen now. The good thing is you already have done the interview, mine is still in the pipeline, waiting for the interview. I think I read somewhere there is some talk about what to do with the cases who have filed for N-400 but have a pending i-751. They were gonna have discussions on what to do to make things better, but I haven't read anything since. The "talk" is probably still in the discussion phase. In the meantime, we the applicants are stuck in limbo while they decide what to do.

Still no update. The myUSCIS site simply says “it is taking longer than usual to process your case. You do not need to do anything.”

 

This is hugely frustrating and neither the service center nor my local office will say anything other than the above. Not sure I’ve come across a case where citizenship was recommended but the concurrently adjudicated I-751 case dragged on for 5 months (so far) with no contact, no requests for more info, nothing.

 

And so we wait.

My I 751 was transferred to Lee Summit MO for further processing does any one know what this means. I had submitted an RFE and sent what the asked for.

I'm officially a US citizen last week, it was same day interview and oath due to Covid. Thank you and good luck to everyone

Finally, my I-751 and my N-400 have been approved. Woo!

 

Just waiting on a date to take the Oath. I'm never moving countries ever again. XD

Congratulations, as I see yours was just approved! We were in the EXACT same boat as this - incredibly frustrating. We had our citizenship interview back in October, but they told us they had to wait for the I-751 to be approved...which it just was on Monday !

 

Was your N400 approved right at the same time? Our still says processing, so I'm not sure if I need to do something to get the other dept to look at it again? Hopefully it's not too much longer at this point!

 

Congrats again!

Woo, congrats to you as well. My N-400 was approved on the same day, yes. Then it went for a “quality check”. Now it’s updated to “you are in line for the Oath Ceremony”.

 

You could always send them a message and ask, but I bet you get an approval sooner rather than later now that I-751 is done. :)

@amyredfern8 My timeline is:

 

Sep 2018: Filed I-751

Jun 2019: Filed N-400

Feb 2020: N-400 interview

Mar 2020: I-751 Approved

.... then nothing since...

 

I think my case is unusual, and I'm sure your N-400 will get approved soon, but it is possible for a case to slip through the cracks like mine proves! Please keep this thread updated with your case progress.

Have you reached out to your Senator or Congress person? If not then you should definitely. You can also try ombudsman office and last option is Mandamus lawsuit.
