Congratulations! Did your status change on your my account when interview was scheduled or was the letter for interview updated on the Documents tab.

Yes

My husband's interview was today and he was recommended for approval. Online status says "Oath ceremony will be scheduled". Our estimated case completion date was December 2020......and it is almost complete within that timeframe.

Good luck to all.......wishing speedy process for all. 

Its nice to see everyone's case moving. My case hasnt moved at all, just the initial case # notice and then complete silence

When you got married has little to do with when to get eligible to apply for citizenship. It's rather about how long you've had your green card. There are two things you need to know. In your case, you will be able to apply for citizenship 90 days before the third anniversary of your green card, that is 90 days before 2/22/2020. If you're not married anymore, then it's 90 days before the fifth anniversary. Hope that helps!

Thank you very much....that helps.

You become eligible to file N-400 on November 24 (= "Resident Since" date on your green card plus 3 years minus 90 days). However, it is advised not to do so on that day. Wait a couple of days, and then submit.

Thank you very much for your response, we will surely wait few extra days after November 24th

@vbms, I agree with t-ten that you can apply November 24, 2019 for your N-400. As he said do not apply exactly on November 24, but wait a couple of days to submit your application. Congratulations for getting this far and good luck with citizenship. 

Thank you very much

We are married since 03/2015. We got 2-year Green card on 2/22/2017. Our 2-year card expired on 2/22/2019. We received our permanent green card today. We are married for over 4 years. When can we file for citizenship? Do we have to wait like an year before we can file citizenship? Please suggest.

P.S. - If we had not received our perm green card, we were planning to file for Citizenship in November 2019 (90-days before our 3 yrs anniversary of getting Conditional Green Card)

Probably a dumb question but I am in doubt, we are married since 03/2015. We got 2-year Green card on 2/22/2017. Our 2-year card expired on 2/22/2019. We just received our permanent green card. We are married for over 4 years. When can we file for citizenship? Do we have to wait like an year before we can file citizenship? Please suggest.

Mine just changed today to 'Case was approved', so 3 days after 'Card is being produced'.

 

On October 7, 2019, we approved your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number LIN19900xxxxx. We sent you an approval notice. Please follow the instructions in the notice. 

Congrats

Congrats. Which service center? 

Thank you.

LIN.....Nebraska

Our card is being produced.....got the update today. For anybody interested, we filed November 24th 2018, no communication from USCIS at all until July 2019. Received fingerprint appointment for 24th July 2019. No update after that. Today received notification about card production.

I completed my biometric last Friday but my status still shows "My case was received." My service center is Nebraska. Anyone in the same situation?

Thank you.

Count me in.....done biometrics a week ago. Status online still says Case was received........such a downer.

I guess all LIN has biometric appointment on July 24 😂

What a coincidence, we received our first letter from USCIS since our case was filled in November. Our biometrics is on 24th July too

I applied in Nov 2018. The case status online says that Case was received on November 13th. I didn't get the Letter initially, but got it after I called them and made a service request. This was in the first week of February. There was no update after that, then I called again to ask for biometrics, but they just sent the same extension letter again. No updates after that. My service center is LIN. Do you guys suggest to wait or take some action? 

 

I have to apply for N400 in November 2019.

I applied in Nov 2018. The case status online says Case was received. Nothing after that. I dont even have the letter with case number. I only have a text message with the case number. I have opened numerous service request, all claim that they have sent notice (twice). But I havent received anything. Such a shame!

No issues

 

just keep in mind  -  most likely, you will be pulled to the secondary inspection (it's a regular routine when traveling with the stamp).  

So if the first stop in the US is not your final destination , then you should give it more layover time between your flights within US.

 

God luck and have a safe trip!

Thank you fellow St.Louisian....spasiba

We just have a stamp in the passport, no 797 or extension letter or expired green card (they took it away).......do you think it will be an issue during re-entry? I am very nervous

I was advised by our attorney that we will file N400 regardless of status updates on i751. 

Thats good information, thanks for sharing. We plan to do the same......as soon as n-400 window opens, file it.

If it takes over a year do they send you another letter to extend?

Curious, if it takes over a year, why wouldnt one file their n-400? Is there a downside that I dont know?

Got the receipt# text message. Its LIN service center. For anybody curious, our package reached Monday morning 10:30am.

Our credit card is charged today :)

I think the table would be useful, even though it is a nuisance to look at...

I agree.....I joined this thread later than you all and I had to read all pages to follow who is standing where in line. A table acts as a summary for all the previous pages/discussions.

We got the e-notification early November and also no hardcopy NOA.  I don't think there's any cause for concern yet.

 

I have to confess that I hate the table from the October thread...it's just pasted over and over and over again.  Perhaps a google doc might be more appropriate?  Keep the forum a lot cleaner.  

Point taken, we will not have a table. Would you like to take a lead on starting a google doc? 

I am starting one here, copied it from October filers based on @alexpop13's suggestion. Feel free to update/modify the format. I hope everyone will proactively update their timelines. Let me know if you need any help.

In one of the threads, I had seen a table of all filers from that month with various column to track progress. I cant recollect which month's thread it was, has anybody seen such table? Let me know if you find that thread and we can start the same here. Meanwhile I am still searching for that thread.

Found it, may I start one here, would everybody be willing to update their statuses?

This is how it looks -
