OK, good to know! I was wondering if getting two letters was odd, and I'm glad it's not out of the ordinary 😁

 

I feel like we have a ton of evidence after all these years... Did you only go with stuff from the last 2 years or did you also include the 'greatest hits' from your entire time together? I'm thinking of doing that to provide historical context, even if a few things are repeats of what we have already given them before.

Sorry for the late response, I brought originals of the evidence we submitted for the initial i-750 application, and new evidence for the past 2 years. So nothing older than 3 years. The officer filed the new evidence, so make sure you also bring copies.

Congrats! And this is very helpful, thanks.

 

Just curious - did you get two separate interview letters, one for I-751 and one for N-400? Or just one letter for N-400 alone?

Thank you!

Yes, I got two separate interview letters listing the same date, time and location. I received the I-751 interview letter much later than the N-400 (about two weeks apart).

I received my brand new green card but I already have my oath ceremony next week which means I'll have to give them back the brand new green card 😅

I noticed that most people here got their approvals without going through the interview process, any hints on what to take what to do in the interview and if like the first interview I will get my approval or denial at the end of the interview.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hey!

Got my combo interview for I-751 and N400 yesterday. I brought about 40 pictures of me and husband from the past 2 years, our latest tax returns, papers showing that were both beneficiaries on each other's life insurance and health insurance. I also had a copy of our house's warranty deed.

I didn't get approved on the spot for the I-751, they said they would decide later that day, but this morning when I woke up, my status had changed to Card in Production.

However, the officer told me yesterday that I was approved for the n400 pending the I-751 approval.

Good luck on your interview!

Just got an update on my status and was able to read the letter I'll get soon in the mail. They scheduled my n400 interview in late July! 😃

Since my I-751 is still pending, does that mean it's a double interview? They don't mention it in the letter.

Seems like there are not enough people left for this thread. Here is my update, My USCIS account estimated completion date changed to 11 months.

11 month was an estimation when I filed N-400 application.

 

Just checked, and they added one month to my estimation. How many months did they add to yours?

Oh, good! Hopefully this will all be resolved for you soon! 🤞 It's hard having no driver's license for that long.

 

I have an update too. Since my local office does not schedule appointments anymore, I had to call. Thankfully, this time I got a call back really quick, so I should hopefully get things set next week.

Nice. All the best 😉

Can you share us that web tracker app ? thanks

It's called Web Alert. It can check webpages every one minute.

I know what you mean... These delays don't help anyone. I mean, once they process my case, they never have to deal with me ever again and vice versa! 😁 So why delay and keep me around?

Haha, good question! 

I have some good news though, we managed to get an appointment at USCIS! We ended up installing a web tracker app and it rang at 1am on Tuesday to let us know the appointment page was updated. There were a ton of appointments available. I'm still without a driver's license for two weeks, but I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

So the office in SLC will schedule appointments neither online nor over the phone? What are you supposed to do? What if you wanted to change jobs or travel abroad?

 

This whole process is exhausting. I know they are doing us a favor, but I wish the rules didn't change all the time like this.

They're not doing me a favor. I don't see it that way. Not when we pay fees to get our cases processed and they're not!

According to them, it's possible to find an appointment on their website in the middle of the night. I've tried, but no luck...

Wait, now the security guard is making decisions on what constitutes an emergency? 🙄

 

It would be so much easier if we could schedule appointments online.

I know, right! This is ridiculous.

Also, I got the call about my Info Pass appointment this morning and they said that unfortunately, the Salt Lake City Office doesn't take part in the pilot program to get appointments through the phone, so I'm back to square one without an appointment. The agent on the phone suggested I go to the DMV and ask them to verify my status through the SAVE program. I was reading online that not all DMVs participate in the SAVE program, so want to bet they don't in Utah?! With all my luck, it would make sense.

Hi, I am in the same boat as you, I live in southern California and office here do not take walk-ins.  I called to get a stamp on the passport (about three weeks ago)  but unfortunately, they can not schedule an appointment because it was two months before 18month expiration date. I will call in next week and schedule an appointment.

I got some news and my congressman's office cannot even make an appointment. As I was driving to the USCIS field office to attempt a walk-in, I received an email from them telling me that their congressional liaison called the field office's director (Salt Lake City, Utah) and he told the liaison that the office is understaffed. My person of contact with the congressman's office is also dumbfounded that they don't hire more employees. She also thought there is a waiting list you can be put on at the field office. When I got there, they said they don't consider an expiring driver's license an emergency. The guard told me I can always take a taxi to work. I was thinking "Right, then USCIS will foot the bill?". He also told me the best time to check the info pass appointment website is between 4am and 7am. I don't know if it's the pregnancy hormones , but I started bawling and left. Anyway, there isn't any waiting list at the office for appointments. I ended up calling the USCIS contact center as suggested here and by one of my friends. I'm on a waiting list for appointments and they should call me within 72 hours. I'm so scared to miss the call! 

I don't understand why USCIS doesn't advertise their contact center more because in the end they're the ones doing all the work!

Also, I'm going to be without a driver's license for a couple of weeks until the appointment. Fun!

Thanks for the support, everyone and sorry for the rant.

hi I am a New York filler (jun 30 2017), I was just checking what is happening with august filers and I saw your message. My case was transferred several times (from Vermont to MO and now it is in the local office). I was getting an idea to contact my congressmen as well. Did you file an inquiry previously? 

please, let me know if any updates in your case after congressmen contact... It is really frustrating to wait for years......

Thank you

Hey, 

I got some updates from the Congressman's office:

1) The reason it is taking so long is that I filed for citizenship and it now reset the clock on the I-751 (so it's now on my citizenship case's timeline). The USCIS website says the wait time is 6 months for my citizenship case. How unfair!
2) My driver's license is expiring in a week or so. So I continued the conversation with the congressman's office (expressing my frustration) and they offered to make an info pass appointment for me. I sent all the papers 10 days ago and still haven't heard back. I sent them an email today to get an update on the appointment making.

3) I'm seriously considering trying a walk-in appointment at my local USCIS office as I really need the stamp in my passport to renew my driver's license, otherwise a) I'll be driving without a valid license b) I can not get to work. So I might try the "financial loss" emergency reason to get in. Has anyone tried this?

Morning all!

 

I contacted the congressman for the state of Florida but not sure if anything is happening. I filled out the form on her website but I haven’t received anything (it has been two weeks now). Any help? Thank you

Hey,

I'm in the same situation. Contacted my congressman's office here in Utah and also filled in that form. No news since.

Here is my timeline,  I applied for I751 in Agust 2017 and N-400 in October (CSC). I received a letter stating that my status is valid 18 months after the expiration date.  In December I received a letter stating that NBC has jurisdiction over my case.

1) Should I get my I661 stamp right now or wait till May when status actually expires? 2)  what's wait time for this kind of situation. 

 

I'm in the same boat and I'm hoping they will send another extension letter. I don't feel like driving all the way to their office and take a half day off work.

Got a transfer notification telling me another office has jurisdiction. They say I should receive a notice via mail soon.

The notice says my case was transferred to the National Benefit Center in MO.

I checked my case status online and it still says "On February 26, 2018, we received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number WAC17320XXXXX, at your local office."

Am I the only one that has this status? I've seen your posts with updates in April. 

 

Same here, we're on the same boat... 

Received that "corrected" 18-month extension letter today.

Not really, like on my case, I need a visa to enter canada, but since i'm LPR of US then I dont need visa to enter Canada, it's case to case basis and base on countries affiliation to the US.

Visa is only required if you have expired green card like what @CJKylie mentioned.

I learnt something new!

In other news, no movement for me, case is still at CSC, NMno updates

Hey guys. This is my first time posting. I love this site, it's very helpful. My husband's I-751 NOA receipt date is 08/21/17 at csc. We're also still waiting like most of you guys. I need some advice. My husband and I had planned to travel to Cancun Mexico last month but were stopped at the airport and denied to board the plane. We had his valid I-797 extension letter and an I-551 passport stamp which is valid until Sept. 2019. We had (unfortunately) booked United airlines, the agent told us that we don't have proper documents to travel to Mexico and we could get arrested there if he did let us go. I requested a refund for our flight tickets but they refused my request. Should I hire a lawyer because legally I know we can travel with a valid I-551 passport stamp?? What would be the best thing for us to do? 

I was under the impression that international traveling depends on the passport you have, so your citizenship, not your country of residence. So the rules for the country your husband is a citizen of would apply when traveling to Mexico.

I don't know if this attorney is trying to scare me. I have RoC pending since Aug 2017 and haven't applied for naturalization . He said it's taking long because this new administration is cutting off with granting green cards.  He also said , there might be any problem with the case.  But we have already provided tons of evidence and USCIS said  everything is ok with our case and it's in normal processing time. Is he just getting me scared. Should I wait for 10 year card before applying for citizenship.  It's been 14 months already and we can wait few more months .

He also said they are revoking green cards. He asked me to text the info ( reciept notice etc) so he can look up online. He got m e worried

He also said that he did ROC for one of his client. and they already in cue for interview . This made me think that he might not be being truthful. 

I'd find another lawyer asap. He's using scare tactics, also, he's not supposed to talk about other clients cases. You didn't do anything wrong and everything is in order. It's just a waiting game.

Think it has to do with N400 concurrent filing. I noticed everyone who filed for citizenship seems to have had i751 Approved now. 

 

We we will be filing my wife’s N400 shortly so hopefully that will push the 10yr card to get produced. 

I filed for citizenship and still haven't got approved. Might just be coincidence. Who knows 😬

Today I got an email notification from USCIS telling me they don't have any updates on my citizenship case. I was thinking "Really? You're sending me a notification to tell me that?!?" 🤔

Thanks! Ended up being the N-400 receipt and the 18-month extension letter! Very happy to get it since I'm with the CSC and not many have received it so far.
