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.

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.

Yes, I've done all the above except Mandamus. That will be my last resort, but it's getting to the point where I don't have any other options.

Oh wow that is so frustrating! I read the later responses too about reaching out to Congresspeople, that hadn't even occurred to me ! I did shoot USCIS a message on the site (a generally futile endeavor) asking if I needed to do anything to get my N-400 case looked at again and they said the N-400 was in the "final stages" of approval. That was almost a week ago now, and no word since. Fingers definitely crossed, but good to know there may be other avenues if we don't hear back in the next few weeks.

 

I'm trying to just forget about it for now, but that's difficult!!

 

Really hope you hear something back soon - will keep the thread updated!

The delays have been huge of late. Keep bothering them with service requests - it worked for me. Took the Oath yesterday!

Congratulations! Yes, looks like I can only submit those inquiries once a month, so I'll have to wait another couple of weeks to follow up with them again! Congrats again & hopefully we'll be singing the same tune soon!

Finally, after 5 interviews in total ( I-130, two i-751s, and two N-400s ), my status has changed to Oath Ceremony will be scheduled. Longggggggggg journey.
