    N-400 DECEMBER 2018 filers

    Wow - That is a terrible situation!  Can you reach out to them to try to get it resch'd?  It sounds like you will need to get it changed because doing that after two weeks of a c-section sounds difficult!  You may be able to ask them to change the office to Atlanta and explain why you are willing to wait.

     

    I am glad you shared this info with us, though.  I wasn't sure if Texas might re-locate offices, since the messages aren't changed on the site yet, and based on your post, it looks like we have a good chance of getting an interview in OKC!  Please keep us updated!

     

    Congrats on the baby!  You will soon have a bundle of joy to celebrate, and will soon be a citizen, too!  May your birth be easy and joyous!  Great and exciting things!  Headaches, but soon you won't need to worry about USCIS anymore.

    So update today: I got an email this afternoon from an immigration services assistant in the Montgomery, Alabama field office kindly asking me for a better date and time to schedule my interview so that they can honour my request to change due to my upcoming due date. Nice to know USCIS has the ability to potentially work this out through an email. Just waiting for a response or another interview letter to be scheduled and uploaded to the portal.

    I have, FedEx'd in a request to reschedule along with confirmation of my EDD to both the Atlanta and Montgomery offices. Hopefully they'll manage to push it out enough for me to recover and our little one to get a touch older. It isn't going to be an easy feet driving 4 hours with a newborn, postpartum and our 5 year old to worry about too. 

     

    I had a feeling that this would happen and I was just saying to my husband last night that they might schedule it in either Tennessee or Alabama due to Atlanta being so backlogged. Nashville would at least be closer by about 2 hours for us, but Atlanta is definitely the closest. 

     

    I'll update everyone once I hear from them! And thank you --unfortunately this isn't the last of my dealings with USCIS, personally it will be but I actually work in immigration law so I deal with this is a lot. So professionally, USCIS and myself are still entangled :)

    My interview letter was uploaded today. So my local office is Atlanta, my pending I-751 was transferred there in January this year --I'm currently 8 months pregnant and due July 30.

     

    USCIS scheduled my N-400 interview in Montgomery, Alabama --a good 4 hour drive away from where I live, for 2 weeks after my due date on August 13. I may end up needing a repeat c-section and most likely will not be able to travel the distance so soon after birth with a newborn. As well as it is unlikely that they'll correctly give me a combo interview considering my I-751 file is sitting in Atlanta....

     

    Oh how I totally love USCIS....

    I got an email update for my N400 this morning saying that they had scheduled my interview. My I-751 is already at my local office as well. Funny thing is I'm 8 months pregnant and my due date is in 33 days!! I told my husband a few days ago that they'll probably end up scheduling my interview super close to my due date --more as a joke, as I thought I'd be waiting longer to get scheduled, but USCIS always have poor timing. 

     

    One note though --I did contact our U.S. Senators office a few months back regarding this situation and my impending birth and they were getting in contact with USCIS, so that may have helped spurn them on....

     

    We'll see when the interview is when the document gets uploaded. Hopefully not too close to my due date of July 30!

    Oh, can you point me on how to do that? How did you know you were supposed to receive the notice? 

    Go here: https://egov.uscis.gov/e-Request/Intro.do and submit your request from there. My case was transferred according to my online status but I hadn't received a physical notice. I didn’t know they’d actually end up sending a physical one but since they are I’m not complaining.

    How did you make this type of inquiry?

    Through online inquiry. I hadn't received a notice for my case being transferred to the local office so I used that and pretty much went into a lot more explanation and queries etc. They provided some decent information. They're also sending a duplicate transfer notice which I should've received.

    So heres my question? I heard uscis sending material for u to study before the interview so im wondering when their going to send or is it true their sending it or u just have to go to their website to study it?

    I received my little study booklet at my biometrics the other day. But there's materials online to study as well. Their booklet has more info in it than just the questions and answers.

    I'm curious if anyone else here saw this email from December 21, 2018 --it is a workload transfer of I-751's from VSC to TSC...I get those email blasts from USCIS so it came through but it doesn't show up on the USCIS website under workload transfers. And nobody in my law firm seems to have seen it either, although I sure as anything got the email. It also looks from processing times that VSC has moved up a little...but not much.

    I think we're just going to submit the application online, from what I've read on this site and in this thread we're able to file for citizenship within the 90 day window of 3 year residency anniversary. My husband arrived in the States on February 24, 2016... so we're now in that window. I don't think there's anything more we need submit other than maybe our marriage license and copies of his passport showing his date of entry. But I have to do more research before I submit the application. 

    I work for an immigration firm and we recently ran some tests between paper filing and online filing for the N-400 ---results showed that we were getting responses and more movement quicker on the online side of things. So I'd definitely say that's the better way to go. I'll be doing mine online in less than a month. 

     

    Good luck 🍀

    was it printed in watermarked green paper (like the original 12 month letter)?

     

    Did it start with the following?

    "We have mailed an official notice about this case... to the mailing preferences you chose on Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney. This is a courtesy copy, not the official notice."

    Yes, it is on the official paper. No, it did not start like that. It begins "According to our records, you previously received an I-751 receipt notice that extended your conditional resident status for 12 months. Due to delays in processing, USCIS is now extending your conditional resident status for 18 months from the expiration date indicated on your Form I-551..."

    Thanks for that information!  We just may call today, then.  

    The case number is the one you get with the receipt letter. Mine was the same one with all my letters and I was able to check my status in myUSCIS when I got the receipt letter. Didn't have to wait for the biometrics letter to get the receipt number. And even then it was the same number.

     

    I always use myUSCIS to put in a service request, I don't bother calling up. I put in a service request online the day I received the receipt letter to correct my name on my receipt notice and it was dealt with promptly, so much so that my biometrics letter came with it already corrected.

    ☺
