Have no idea where we are in this process and it's infuriating.

[zamardii12 25]

I called USCIS and they could only tell me they forwarded our case to the NVC back in 2018s. NVC tells me in a response to when I asked about this using their 'Public Inquiry Form" that I need to contact the consulate and i'm like "what does our consulate have to do with getting the 2nd interview done?"

 

We received two green card extensions during COVID... we did our first interview a while ago and waiting for the second... nobody can tell me what our status is. I am afraid the green card will expire and we haven't been told anything about a second interview or anything. What should I do to get a actual status update? The USCIS account online only says the same thing that our case was approved back in 2018... we've had our first interview already but waiting on second.

I-485 was filed back in 2018.  i-751 was received by USCIS January of 2021. Had fingerprints done July of 2021 and that is the last thing that was done. Haven't heard anything since.

Did you check processing times for your service center? Is your case outside of normal processing times?

 

You can tell somewhat accurately where you are in line by using Android app CaseTrack. You can scan cases around yours to see if anybody got approved in your "batch".

You likely spine to a tier 1 officer on the phone.  They usually know nothing. At  least by our  tier 1 officer didn’t under achieve 

Call USCIS again, say info pass and request a tier 2 officer call you.

Your problem when speaking w USCIS is the choice of words you use. ..

For example in your previous posts and this one , you keep referring to a “ second interview “ when it is actually a “ first” specific to the I-751. 
 

The bit about the “ NVC” tells me that USCIS rep was telling you about the old  I-129 F , so don’t get discouraged it’s common to have confusing conversations w tier one reps.

 

Every time you inquire about your case, say you are following up on the I-751 .

 

Did you fly to Hungary as planned ?

Hard to tell where you are.  You adjusted status in 2018, and have received two extensions.  Does that mean your AOS was approved?  
What interview are you referring to.  I485?
You filed ROC (I751) in 2020?  From your description it seems like you are waiting for approval on lifting conditions and that has been taking FOREVER lately.

 

NOTE:  NVC won’t have anything to do with this, they process the file to be sent to overseas posts for visa processing.  Once in the US your case is with USCIS.

Sounds like the current  "normal" I-751 processing times.  Some of us have been in your shoes a lot longer.   Your I-751 case is with USCIS.  It is not with NVC or the consulate.   This is not considered a "second" interview.  Good luck.

Could you clarify this a little? Do I say "Info Pass" to the automated system?

As others have stated, your timeline in the first post is not clear, so probably the officer is also confused (but alas! even if they are not confused, tier 1 officers do not know much about your case).

 

Your last update was the biometrics.. in 2021. People have been waiting longer than that. Have you filed for N400?

 

If the extension letter expires, you can get an I-551 appointment. About 30 days prior to expiration, call and say "info pass". If you want to know what's the hold up, request a tier 2 officer.

How do I do that? I have the app, but it says “Invalid Start Receipt Number” every time I enter my case number!

Do you enter three letter + digits? For example:

 

WAC2290021000

 

It should be exactly as on your I-797 with no gaps. 

 

If case number works here, it will work in the app:

It worked. Thank you!

All cases in my batch have been approved and issued Naturalization Cert, except for mine and one more. That feels somewhat depressing!

Which case were you checking? I though you were saying I-751 hasn't been adjudicated yet. So need to check I-751 cases around yours.

 

N-400 cases around yours may never had pending I-751. They may be not based on marriage at all.
