I received my Citizenship on 10/23!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO happy this immigration process is finally over. I had my interview and Oath on the same day. My Interview was scheduled for 10.35am. I got there at 10am. I was called into the interview at 10.31am. I was out of the interview by 11am. The Oath was at 3pm. Oath was completed at 4pm. A very happy and emotional day for my husband and I. Kids and other family members happy too but they don't really understand the stress of this whole process!
I just need to apply for my passport now.
Could someone kindly update my status?

I had 3 people with me on Saturday
the room is not big
it was 23 applicant and room was packed with few ppl standing.
they don’t have restriction on guests
but usually they have up to 50-60 applicant during the week and the room is small so probably all guest will be stending in back
so I won’t recommend more then 2-3 ppl
Thank you!

Updated with my interview date. I think I have done this right, but please correct me if am wrong!

I received an email yesterday that action had been taken on my case. I logged into my account as soon as I could. My interview letter was scheduled and a copy of the letter. My appointment is at 10.35 on Oct 23 - Mt Laurel, NJ. Anyone have any recommendations on additional docs to take? I'm taking originals of everything I can, from the list I submitted with my N400, plus online printouts from everything else. Mt Laurel does the oath the same day so my husband is coming with me. I also just so happen to have family visiting from the UK that week so it would be great if they could come in for the Oath but I don't know how many people they allow.
I filed June 14, 2018.

My husband is for interview on October 11 2018 in Mt. Laurel. Any tips? We have a 3 year old daughter, is she allowed to come with us?
I have mine on October 23! Please let me know how he gets on.

Hi.... Have you already been at the Post Office?... Do hope everything worked out well and daughter's green card got pick up..
So, we have had a nightmare with this. USCIS did not put a street address on her package - WT? So it got got to our distribution center but they would not deliver to my local post office and could only send it back to the sender. So, we have had numerous calls to USCIS. They finally updated the address. Then they had to wait to receive it back. They now have it back and have reissued it. I am back to waiting to see if it actually gets to us this time.

woohoo! I'm not even sure we can make an excuse to even go out to lunch before he returns to work, if it's that quick on our day. Our appt. is at 8am. Did your wait time update? For some, it has after biometrics.
My estimated completion date changed from July 2019 to May 2019 today and I had my bios done today.

My Sister filed for N400 online on April 2nd, 2018 and already got her dates for Interview. This is fast. Her field office is Mt. Laurel.
I did the same in Nov 2017 and still waiting for interview date. Mine is SFO Field Office. Oh boy... Long wait.
My estimated completion date changed today from July 2019 to May 2019. So seems like they are speeding things up a bit. I am Mr Laurel too. When is her interview? I filed mid-June and had biometrics today. Would be nice to get this all done this year!

Definitely, get the appointment and have her passport stamped before she travels...even though her extension letter would still be valid when she returns. You never know with those immigration officers at the ports of entry.
Agree! If one of them is in a bad mood, who knows what they will do!

Congratulations!!!
WT actual F? We're in the same boat as you too.
She gets her citizenship through you, but NOT the green card. dear lord, where do they find these USCIS employees???
Again, we're in the same boat. My stepson lives with us, therefore has all his immigration stuff through his dad. He's currently in London visiting his mother, and will be back just a few days before his extension letter "expires." We've contemplated having him go to the London embassy to get a stamp there, just in case. This whole situation is maddening. As you know, Johan has also already filed for N-400. As I understand it, once that's approved, because K2 is a minor, he'll just be able to get a US passport on his father's citizenship. I cannot wait for this process to be DONE.
Same here - my daughter will get her citizenship through me this was a big reason why I went ahead and did it. One so this process can be done and two, so she doesn't have to go through any of this once she ages out.
Also, I know she doesn't have to get a citizenship certificate to get the passport but with all the complications I am thinking I may just get it for her anyway so in the future there is no question about her status. Even with a US passport!

You are very welcome!!
The way things have recently been with USCIS (a massive launch of green cards with wrong dates of residency of them, biometric appointments scheduled to"out-of State locations ) I'm not surprised that now and Tier 2 doesn't help much.... Unspeakable incompetency
Hopefully, another Tier 2 will be more knowledgeable and helpful.
May I ask you?... I see you've applied for N-400... Did you submit the application AFTER I-751 approval?.. I'm already eligible to file, but since my son is on my I-751 - i'm not really sure if I should go ahead and apply or wait it out...
So I called them back and got a different Tier 2 agent. She was MUCH more helpful. She said usually the approval/green card is issued after the parent (like you said) and she would check. She checked and it showed that her approval letter was issued, even though we haven't received it. It also showed her Green Card had been produced and she gave me the tracking number!!! Although the tracking number is showing that it is with our Post Office distribution center...and it has been there since mine was there as well (June 30)....she couldn't tell me any more as it's now with the post office. Due to the holiday tomorrow, there is nothing I can do until Thursday. But the good thing is you were totally right and the first agent was TOTALLY wrong and worried me for nothing. How can an agent not know what information they are supposed to give. It's crazy.
In regards to the N400. I applied online June 14, BEFORE I got my approval. I could have done it at the end of May and I was going to wait but changed my mind. And my I-751 approval came June 26. So I really don't know if it made a difference but I think my file was probably on the desk of a I-751 agent by the time I filed the N400.
I just cannot wait for this process to all be done. Like most of us!!
Good luck!!!

Your girl goes through exactly the same process as you and she must receive her green card as well. With her A-# on it, with her name and so on... nothing about her on YOUR green card and seems like people on that "misinformation line don't get it! Uhhh, makes me so upset when something like that comes up, over and over!! I'm so sorry you are experiencing this....
Call again and try to get on hold a Tier 2 Immigration Officer - they usually know more than a person who picks up the phone first. Those are contractors and usually know nothing... like literally NOTHING! People have been told all kind of non senses, and in most cases they just read the info from the same screen as you do.. Or just misinform you, like now...
Seems like the only thing they are good at - to do everything possible to not transfer your phone call to a "higher level' IO. So, call again and do your best to get a Tier 2 IO - they have an access to your file, to the whole thing.
If no luck, then make an Infopass and go to your local USCIS Office to see an IO. Take your girl with you, and her paperwork - Ext. Letter, Biometric appointment, any ID, passport...
And of course, do not leave the country until your daughter's green card received OR - if trip is around the comer, get I-551 stamp in her passport. Make a copy of her expired green card - in case if they will stamp her passport, green card can be taken by USCIS in exchange for the stamp....
...still can not believe you were told that nonsense....
I'm pretty sure your girl's green card is on its way. Since a child is a derivative applicant and depends completely on you, so sometimes green cards are issued in different time for a parent and for a child...Child's AFTER parent's approval.
Good luck to you and will keep you in prayers!!!
Please, let us know how your conversation with a Tier 2 IO or Info pass go, ok?...
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so mad at the agent I spoke to. He was a Tier 2! She travels at the end of the month so I will def take her to Info Pass and her extension expires 5 days AFTER she returns to the US so she is valid for entry BUT I hate her not having her GC. And to keep having to deal with USCIS. Fingers cross hers just comes but I've had no notice about hers. I will let you know how we make out. I have called USCIS again and am waiting for a call back from another Tier 2 agent....

You should ask them that question on how she proves her permanent resident status.
I did. They said "she gets it from you". I said, I understand that but how does she prove it. They told me they had answered my question and put the phone down!

I agree with the poster above. Sounds like you caught a bad apple with the last person you called. I don't know how hard I would push this seeing as you have a citizenship application pending. Your daughter might have her citizenship before you ever receive a new green card. Meanwhile, as the poster above states, she can receive i-551 stamp in her current passport to allow her to travel and return home.
that is true re the citizenship before the new GC. Yes, I am going to keep the infopass appointment as well just in case. Just frustrating and unsettling!

He seems to be just be a pissed off rep. You might want to call back again and hope you get in touch with a nice person. Since they are processed differently, may be your daughtet’s GC is still in process.
Did you both get conditional GC within 90 days of each other originally?
In the mean time she can travel with the extension letter if needed or probably get an i551 stamp from an infopass.
Yes, we both got the conditional GC and she entered at the same time as me (so within 90 days) and we have the same date on our CR1. Her extension expires soon and I have made an info pass appointment but I really don't want to have to keep getting that stamp for her! Surely at some point she needs her own new GC. Yeah, I think I will call back. The first person I spoke to didn't have an answer and put me through to a level 2 person who just said she doesn't get it as she travels off mine...which makes so sense! Plus her last name is different to mine.
-
Did anyone on here file their I-751 with a dependent? I just received my 10 Year Green called but my daughter didn't. So I called USCIS and they said she doesn't get one! She got her original CR1 green card, and extension but doesn't get a IR Green Card..... I am extremely concerned about how she travels back into the Country? She also has to travel without me.
-
My 11 year old daughter was on my i-751 application (removal of conditions) because she entered the US at the same time as I did. She received her conditional green card, just like I did. When I applied for the conditions to be removed, she received an extension for 1 year, just like I did. Now I have been approved and have received my 10 year green card, however she has not. I called USCIS and they told me she doesn't get one! They were pretty unhelpful (shocker). I said how does she travel in/out of the country with no valid documentation. All the said that was Customs issue not theirs! I mean - what?!?! Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone else have a dependent with/without a 10 year green card? I am getting really worried, even though she her status is a LPR, because she has to travel back to the UK to see her biological father.

Question for those that got their approval - was there any issues delivering the GC? I got my Approval letter about 4 days after I got my green card being produced notice. I also received a notification that my GC is at the Post Office and a tracking number, but it says it's being held at the request of the customer....which I assume is the sender? Just wondering what that means!

Congratulations!!!🎊
Did you guys get an approval letter in the mail before the GC? Can you please tell me more about timing between status changing online and receiving Approval letter? How many days?
Hi - so I got an email saying my status had changed. I looked online and saw the "mail being produced" update. Then the next day I got another email saying my status had changed! I looked again and I got the approval status. A bit back to front! Then I got my approval letter in the mail on Friday, June 29. Now I have a notification that my card is at the post office....but it's being held. I have no idea why. So frustrating!

Congratulations, Stomo! Very exciting.
Look, we're in TWO groups together!
Congrats on your card being renewed as well.
I'm a CSC filer (well, my husband is!) and we don't expect to really ever see it. We decided to file for naturalization because he's eligible for that, and it beats sitting around waiting for a green card that's SUPER late, THEN waiting some more. I cannot wait to be done with USCIS!
I filed the N400 mid June. Not sure if this accelerated things or not. A lot of VSC were being approved with the similar file date so I will never know! I got my "approval" notice the day after the "card being produced" notice. So odd.

Mount Laurel, NJ. I said to them it's great they do it on the same day. They said, they know how difficult it is for people to get two days of work etc!!
We have an international trip in December, but I think I will still expedite mine just in case.
