N400 I751

[AnonymousImmi 0]

Hello All,

 

Thanks for your time for reading and answer this question. I came across many applicants whose I-751 got transferred to their local FO after filing N400, I have few questions regarding this:

 

1. Is it mandatory to add/upload ROC related documents or a letter asking USCIS to adjudicate both the cases?

2. Is there anyone here whose 751 got transferred to their Local FO without asking them to adjudicate or without adding any ROC related docs?

3. Doesn't USCIS know about our pending cases?

 

TIA.

1. No. But why would you not do that? I’ve lost count of the number of cases I’ve read about where the ISO at the interview had no clue there was a pending I-751.  
 

3.  See 1.

1. No, it’s not mandatory, I didn’t even know it was a thing. We just filed our N-400 and that’s it.

2. Our I-751 status changed right away when we submitted the online N-400. 
3. I’m assuming the USCIS 100% knows what cases we have pending, it would be pretty difficult to miss that a person has another case pending. When we submitted the N-400 the docs section asked for my husbands green card. We uploaded the extension letter, which in itself proves that we have another case, I-751 pending. 
 

good luck !

@Mike E I uploaded my Conditional GC which is obviously expired but I did not upload the 797/extension letter. If I upload anything now, any idea if it causes more delay in the process?

I consider the extension letter to be required evidence and it should be uploaded now.

1-it is no mandatory

2-my case was transferred to my local office and i didnt ask for it, on my interview they dint ask for any documents.

3-uscis know all about your immigration history.

Nope, you’re giving them too much credit and there are countless cases here in VJ where the officer had no clue there was a pending 751!

I think the issue is that some i-751 get transferred, and some don't - customer service, service centers and field offices don't communicate very well at all with each other. We mainly see this when you try to reschedule an interview appointment with customer service, they confirm and everything seems great until the field office didn't get the notice and denied your case for failing to show up to your interview.

You never know what will happen in your case until you go to your interview. My guess, and it's just a guess, is that the IO at your field office doesn't look at your case until very close to your interview, possibly the day before or day of your interview. By that time, when they finally see your request to have a combo interview, it's too late to have the i-751 file transferred anyway (yes, they do send the whole physical file). But I would certainly give it my best try and add that request anyway, you've got nothing to lose.
