Under what category are you filing for naturalization? You have not been a permanent resident for five years. 

OP seems to be ignoring these questions...

[Villanelle 4,121]

General FYI- When one files under the abuse waiver ROC (if the abuser spouse was an USC + abuse waiver ROC is approved) they can naturalize at 3 yrs. Its a provision of the VAWA Act policies which (in general) allows an abused spouse all the same immigration benefits w/o the abusers help. Their abuse waiver ROC + naturalization at 3 yr mark process will be the same as one who had jointly filed ROC and N400.  

 

Some of the dates in this thread were posted incorrectly causing a bit of confusion. From what I understand that was posted: the conditional GC was issued Jan 10 2017. The expiration date on the card should read Jan 10 2019. An abuse waiver ROC was since filed and a NOA extension was issued which has an expiration date of March 10 2021. @CanadaEx is concerned they will be out of status when the NOA expires and intends to travel. As explained by @Dashinka ones status does not expire and they need to obtain a i551 stamp for proof of status (for work and travel) if their process is still pending after the date on the extension letter.

Thank you for deciphering all of that.

Hello All,
Still expecting reply to my N400 application via WAVA.
"September 1, 2020 Case Was Received And A Receipt Notice Was Sent
 On September 1, 2020, we received your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, Receipt Number Xxxxxxxxxxx, and sent you a receipt notice or acceptance notice.
 Biometric Reuse    December 14, 2020. 

Question, Should I contact my congress man office to help look into this? In February, I went to my local USCIS to get i551 stamp.

Also, I just recently defended my PhD thesis. Hence I am now a Doctor of Clinical Psychology as of March, 2022. Should I send the notice of completion of degree to USCIS?
Thanks for your advise as always.

It won't hurt to put in a Congressional inquiry.

 

It's unclear why USCIS would be interested in your degree, but congratulations on successfully defending your dissertation in a challenging field!

Do specific reasons or worries cause you to want to?

 

Normally, naturalization interviews are the easiest part of the entire immigration process.

If this has differed for those on the VAWA track, people here will so state.
