Got so excited today to see in the mail Department of Homeland Security….but instead of a green card or a date for N-400 interview we received a notice that his I 751 was transferred to National benefits center in MO. It was at Potomac. Soooooo….I guess this doesn’t mean much, or does it? I think it just means Potomac is so back logged that National Benefits center agreed to hold onto it until they get time. But it doesn’t mean we are close? Does it? Ugh…was so hoping for good news!! Would love for them to do a combo so we can just be done with this all. 
 

our I751 been in their hands since 4/07/2021 (Potomac and now National Benefits Center)

 

and the N400 has been in Maine hands since 4/8/2022

 

any thoughts….love to hear them

Just have to wait..

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

Patience. Took me close to 26 months from I-751 to N400 approval.

It is extremely common for i751 to be transferred to the NBC after filing a n400. There is a good chance there will be a combo i751/n400 interview, that is what happened to us. Our case was adjudicated 25 months after filing the i751 and 13 months after filing the n400.

We just submitted our N400 online last night.  We are anticipating our I751 will be transferred within the next couple of weeks.

 

So, in this situation, the I751 gets transferred to the NBC and not your local field office (where I would expect any combo interview to take place)?

All i751 applications that are destined for an i751 interview go to the National Benefits Center and are held in a cue until the local USCIS field office is ready to schedule an ROC interview. 

 

All interviews for ROC and citizenship are held at the local field USCIS office assigned to your local address on the i751/n400 applications or latest address updated with AR-11.

 

It is possible for NBC to approve an i751 without an interview but this seldom happens, the most likely thing to happen is a combo interview i751/n400 at your local USCIS field office. There is also a small chance of separate interviews for i751 and n400. The removal of conditions must be approved first before naturalization can be approved.
