Taking so long this process...

[RoseSouDeJ 0]

Hello there,

I have sent my I-751 package in October, 2017. Received a receipt on October 16, 2017. 

In 05/05/2018 a letter was received saying that I don't need to go for biometrics.

After that, another receipt notice came in on 08/18/2018 saying that are delays in processing. 

On the website USCIS case status online says that my case was received on Feb, 2018 (but I sent it on October, 2017). 

Does anybody know what is going on with processing times? My service center is in California. 

Any personal experience would give me some enlightenment on this waiting process. Thank you!

They're suuuuper behind on I751, sadly. Are you eligible to file N400?? It would mean more waiting but if you get scheduled for an N400 interview, it would force them to find your I751 and adjudicate it with the N400.

Ok, so the reason your case says received in February 2018 is because that's the date they uploaded all I-751 case numbers to the new USCIS system. My case had that date too until it was approved. Unfortunately I just had a look at the processing times and they're about 8 months behind your date if I'm reading it right. They've slowed down a lot in recent years.

I will look into N400 which I didn't consider yet.

This waiting has been way too long.

Thanks for your advice.

LOTS of people are doing this now. RoC takes so long that people become eligible for citizenship. You might as well look into it. If you become a citizen, you can be forever done with USCIS haha. Good luck.

Mar 2017 is still waiting

You might try monitoring this thread which is dedicated to October 2017 ROC filers. Sounds like California Service Center applications aren't being processed yet. So you're not being singled out in the delay on processing your app.

We filed ROC Mar 2017 and then in Jan/Feb filed N400.  Wife had interview/test yesterday and they combined 751 and 400 into one....She was told all was good, but need to enter everything into system for 751...another week, or 2, the IO said.  So, we are still in process for ROC...20 months now and counting.  The good news is that we should be getting everything approved in the next week, or so.  Long wait!  If you can submit your N400...then do it!  Start that ball rolling

Same  N 400yesterday, but they don't want to interview for 751, let us wait. So frustrating

Actually, that is what happened, but why not finish everything off in one sitting...why did it have to take to having the N400 interview to action the I751 which was in limbo for basically 20 months?  That is what drives me up a wall!

They're currently approving August '17 ROC applications, so you probably have a couple more months to wait.

I so wish this was true.  My step-daughter's ROC, who turned 18 since her arrival into the US, is still in limbo.  Her ROC was also submitted in Mar '17 along with her mother's.  She is still waiting and that after calling and requesting info as to why it is taking longer than normal processing times.  I really believe those dates are just a possible guide because 1 application might have been serviced in the earliest month.

 It is true. My wife's ROC was approved two weeks ago, and a bunch of others who filed around the same time (August '17) have been approved recently. Obviously there are some anomalies. And yes, they are a possible guide, nothing more than that...

@Didier Drogba Hi,  

when did you apply for your N400 and when was your interview? 

I applied April 2018 with pending I751 and I’m still awating my interview letter. Just curious....
