What kind of questions did they ask? Did they ask for additional documents?

I brought everything they named on the letter but I was only asked for the green card and my passport.

When did you receive the notice for your interview today?

On the 15th so just over a week ago.

So they approved your greencard, or u went thru directly to N400?

They approved my I-751 but because I had citizenship interview coming up soon they didn’t make a new card for me because I would have had to give it back anyway.

After you get I751 Notice, how many days the card will be delivered? 

It says 60 days but it is accurate? or they send in a week or two? I need to schedule a plane ticket...

I didn’t receive a green card. They didn’t bother to process one since my n-400 was coming up.

Congratulations! Were you rescheduled after a March/April cancellation? How did it look like in terms of how many interviews are happening?

Thank you. When I arrived there were around 10 people already seated. It seemed most of them were approved and did the oath with their officers as they all came out and sat and waited for someone to return with a packet. I wasn’t a cancellation. I applied for ROC in Feb 2017 and N-400 in April 2018. My ROC was approved on June 2nd and my interview was scheduled on the 15th for today. I think everyone there today was N-400.

I was a combo filer. The Green Card was approved and I received it 2 weeks ago. My N-400, still nothing. I filed on October 25, 2018. Are there still "old" N-400 filers in this forum?

April 2018.

We got this notice also..approved 6/2/2020

 

"We have approved your I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. Our records also indicate we have approved your form n-400, Application for Naturalization, Because we also approved your N-400, you will not receive a new Permanent Resident Card (also known as Green Card). Instead, once you have taken the Oath of Allegiance, you will receive a Certificate of Naturalization, which will be proof of you U.S Citizenship. If you have question regarding this process, please contact USCIS."

 

and of course the system is not updated either.

I got the same thing so I called and spoke to a tier 2 and they said this is an error. They said my cause status for N-400 is actually “interview requested”. I thought I got lucky since I’m a native English speaker but I asked an attorney and she told me to call because the law requires an interview. 

I got notice of approval yesterday. No RFE. No other communication. Just a 3 year, 4 months wait. Wow. N400 still pending.

Believe or not, after I struggled for almost 3 years with the I-751, replied to the RFE with full of supporting evidence and everything...today, in my mail box, USCIS sent me the new Permanent Green Card.

But they made a mistake and the person on the Green Card is not me!!!!

It has my correct A number, DOB, name, case number...everything is correct EXCEPT FOR THE PHOTO.

They put the photo of a woman (I'm a Hispanic male) and of different ethnicity.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please check your new documents and don't trust them.

I will have to file a I-90 replacement card and mail them back the "wrong Green Card".

I am still in shock.

After 3 years, 3 months, no RFE, no Other communication I just got an approval notice on my removal of conditions. I also have n400 pending since April 2018. I have no idea what’s going on but we are relieved I got approved and look forward to getting the card. 

I filed N400 in April 2018 after filing I-751 in February 2017. Both applications are still pending.  I’m on my second stamp and will need a third in a couple weeks. This is extremely frustrating in general- no progress on either case and the possibility that I won’t even be able to get my extension stamp due to the office being closed. I have no idea what’s going on with my file. I’ve made inquiries, they just told me to wait. The closure will mean an even longer wait. 

I filed N-400 in April 2018, prior to that I-751 in February 2017. I have done biometrics and have had two I-551  stamps in my passport. Nobody at USCIS has anything to offer except that my I-751 was transferred to NBC in December 2018. This is really stressing me out, and my USC husband sometimes forgets that we have pending cases. I have no-one in my circle who can empathize but I think I need a therapist because of the anxiety surrounding travel (I have been detained twice upon return to the US so they could verify my credentials), possibly a new job and just daily life without a sense of belonging anywhere. Anyway, do any of you have cases that are older than mine and still pending?

Have you checked out this forum? It's dedicated to people who have applied for citizenship, whose office is Seattle. The latest post is by a person who just received an interview who filed in May 2019, one month after you did. So perhaps you'll get an interview notice soon.

 

 

May 2019 is a year and a month after I filed.

What does the online case status say? 

Are you just in line for an interview?

It just says they reviewed biometrics on N 400 in April. The place where I would get a estimated completion date says they’re taking longer than usual and I don’t need to do anything. Everyone on the phone insists it’s normal but based on processing times for other persons on here I know it’s not. My husband even completely forgot we had a case with them because of how long it’s taken. I try not to bring it up too much because it’s really anxiety inducing. I want to be an Air Traffic Controller (we invested heavily in this) and I’m probably going to be too old when, if I ever, get citizenship approved.

I have heard the Seattle office is backlogged but this seems way too long. I would set up an appointment to talk with someone at the Seattle office. They're the ones who are handling your cases.

On the phone for 30 minutes to set up infopass. No help yet. Can’t do it online anymore. 

We filed I-751 in February 2017 and N-400 in April 2018. I-751 was transferred in December 2019 and since then we’ve heard nothing on either case. I’m on my second extension stamp and will need a third early next year if nothing happens. Based on timelines here this seems way too long but I can’t get any help from USCIS. It seems unreasonable that we had to pay so much and can’t even get an answer specific to our case. Does anyone have any insight on what we can or should do? We used an attorney for adjustment of status but did this on our own because she didn’t show up to our interview for adjustment of status.

I am still waiting

• I-751 in 2/2017
• N-400 in 2/2018
• Combo Interview 2/2019

It has been 3 months since the interview and still no updates. Do you have any suggestions? Should I try to contact my local congressman?

 

Still waiting. No interview. Nothing. Two one year stamps so far. 

I filed N400 last April with I-751 pending since February 2017. I’ve had no update on either case so I called and was able to speak to a Tier 2 officer who said they’re still processing cases from October 2015. Based on the status of other cases surrounding mine, I doubt that’s accurate.

Almost same for me too. I-751 in Feb 2017 (CSC),

N-400 in April 2018. Status still says 16 months more (I think for Dallas)

Got case transfer letter in December 2018

Got I-551 infopass stamp in January 2019 (few days ago), officer told me that I might have to get another year or stamp before you finally be called in for probably a combo interview. I hope it doesn't linger on for that long.

My husband and I are getting tired of waiting. We wanted to go to Europe for Christmas but with my current citizenship I would need a lot of visas and we were confident we would have made progress but didn’t. We love to travel. This sucks.

Applied for I751 on February 2017, N400 April 2018. I called and sent case inquiry because my I751 was out of processing time, so they answered me and said that both applications will be adjucated in the same time and I'm waiting again!!!

We have the same timeline. I got notice of transfer on December 21.

Updating to say there's been no news. I filed with divorce waiver in February 2017 and had an interview in September 2018. 

I took an interest in following my status again because I was trying to make travel plans in March/April 2019 that involving leave the US. Looks like I won't be able to do that unless I get an approval between now and end of Feb 2019.

Can you get a stamp?

The letter itself said my case was transferred to the benefits center and not Seattle office. Not sure if that makes a difference but okay. 

I got an email that my case was transferred to the Seattle office. I’m confused because I’ve done at least three biometric appointments. 

Your Case Status: Initial Review 

On December 21, 2018, we transferred your Form I751, PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS ON RESIDENCE, Receipt Number WAC171XXXXXXX, to another USCIS office. That office now has jurisdiction over your case. We sent you a notice that explains why we moved your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your notice by January 20, 2019, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address. 

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators. If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition.

• Current processing times can be found on the USCIS website at under Check Processing Times.

Sincerely,

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)

I-751 since Feb 2017 and filed N-400 in Apr 2018. Many extension letters, stamp in my passport, biometrics appointment, no change in the status of either application. N-400 processing date is May 2019 according to USCIS.

Can you elaborate on The exception is only if you are married to a US citizen.

If you are divorced, you are no longer married to the US Citizen who filed for you which means you cannot apply for citizenship after three years. You have to wait for five.

To qualify, you must have lived in the U.S. continuously for the three years immediately preceding the date you file Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. You must be married to a citizen the entire time; and your spouse must have been a U.S. citizen for the entire time.

Wish I had file my N400 as a combo in Feb too

Now I am getting divorce this month 

Will I have to wait until 2020 to file for my citizenship?

My card was 5/22/2015?

Sorry about your divorce. Yeah, you have to wait five years if you are no longer married. The exception is only if you are married to a US citizen.
