N 400 February 2020 Filers

[bzbee 93]

My biometrics is scheduled on March 19th at the Forth Worth ASC. That week is spring break for our kids and we had planned a trip, so is it possible to go for the Biometrics sometime next week (say 11th or 12th)?  Does anyone have experience or know about early walk-ins at the Fort Worth ASC? Thanks.

Answering my own question:  Yes, they allow walkins at the Fort Worth ASC, if they are not very busy. 

Planning to go next Wed, will post my experience.

I know this is a N-400 discussion but is anyone still waiting on their I-751 approval?  We have been waiting 634 days... Since June 2018.  Should we be worried?  Now seeing people who applied almost a year after us getting approved.

Yes, I have my I751 pending but decided to file N-400 right away since most of the experiences I've read, it speeds up the processing time, since N400 has more priority than I-751.

I will be honest with you.  I would definitely be concerned if I had a pending I-751 still pending after 2 years.  I have seen many people be done in less than 1 year.  I don't know about Texas though and how it works there.

You should consider filing an out of normal processing time request.  It seems very unreasonable that some old cases are waiting that long...makes you worried they misplaced the files.

[mikedany 8]

We did. In December.  A month later they replied that it needed more time to go before an officer and they have no idea how long or when that will be....   On another forum on here someone said they "put your file at the bottom of the pile" when you file an out of normal processing time request.  That sounds retaliatory to me.  The I-751 extension letter already expired and got the 551 stamp in passport so I guess we should just wait?  It's just so frustration that they say they are processed in the order received but clearly that is not the case.  We also already had a interview to get the conditional green card in 2016. Also now people are saying they get approved for the N-400 but still have to wait for the I-751.

So I just read from our local news that the USCIS Seattle office was closed starting yesterday due to one employee having symptoms and exposure to someone infected with COVID-19. I called USCIS hotline and was able to talk to a person to clarify the info. I was told that the office will open until further notice. My bio-appt is scheduled to be on 3/13/2020. If the closure will extend to the said date, USCIS will automatically rescheduled my bio appt. just want to FYI you all. Always check if offices are open especially during this outbreak and stay safe everyone.

Do you mean that it will be closed until further notice? I saw that on the news; that really stinks especially since that office is such a long wait. Be safe!

What does it mean when your estimated time for completion completely disappears from your online account?  It used to be there for a few weeks, but it has changed about 3 or 4 times during that time. Then it completely disappears.  It just has the date of application submission now.

Same here... no estimated time anymore. Hopefully they adjust it for a shorter period  Do all of you have I751 pending?
