Congratulations.......🎊

Were you part of the original ROC February 2018 filers? 

Thanks!

Yes, I filed for ROC in late Feb 2018.

Not sure if N-400 helped, hurt, or didn't impact the final timeline at all! 

I finally had my joint interview. It went very well, interviewer was impressed with my application. N-400 and I-751 both got approved after I left the interview, N-400 status is now saying "oath ceremony scheduled", I-751 says "new card in production". They told me to bring the new green card to oath ceremony if it gets delivered before the oath ceremony, and mail it back if it gets here after the oath ceremony.

Congrats! I think I am in the same situation. I filed for I-751 in February of 2018, then February 2019 for N--400. 

Filed to Vermont, then It was transferred to Texas a year later, and this July to Missouri. 

 

I am still waiting. When I log in to my account it says that Estimated time of completion (N-400) is 26 days. Did you end up getting the estimated time to 0 and then they scheduled your interview? Based on my calculations and people sharing their stories for Newark, NJ office I should be getting something this or next week.  I am assuming it will be a combo interview. God knows. I am very frustrated. I travel a lot and this traveling with a letter is very annoying. 

 

Yes, the remaining time for me actually went past the estimated time, so first it went all the way down to zero, and then the message changed to something like "we are taking longer to process your case". I'm confused why my simple case took so long but it could just be the Boston office, hopefully yours won't be as long.

Congratulations to everyone who got approved.

 

My interview is tomorrow morning I alao have I751 pending but I don'tknow if they will be conducting both as they only sent me a n400 interview letter even though they emailed me saying both cases were going to be adjudicated after making service inquiry.

 

I am very anxious 'cause we will have to bring our babies an infant and a toddler, they babysitter can't help tomorrow and we don't have anybody else we trust our kids. Let's see how it goes, my daughter is in a difficult age, she doesn't like to be steady, we went to dollar tree and bought her some toys hope they help, her ipad is already packed hopefully our data doesn't get slow in there🤣. I would be mortified to hear her crying while I am being interviewed 😂 Oh well no options! 

 

Anyone with experience bringing their supee active kids? They will be outside with my husband unless they need to interview us together.

Hi, How did you make a service inquiry? I'm in the same boat and want to know if interview will be combo. Thanks a lot! 

Finally my good news, I got a notice my interview has been scheduled! yay!

Hi I'm in the same boat, however I did have a RFE which I sent back early May, when did you apply ROC and when does your letter expire? Mine expires end of Sep. 

I applied end of Feb, the 18 month extension of my green card expires in November. I tried to submit an out-of-processing request online, but it still tells me it's within processing time. I called for an info-pass a while ago and they told me to call within 30 days of expiration. 

At this point, I just hope they haven't lost my ROC application since I've heard absolutely nothing LOL 

Still no update on my case, with no RFEs. My case is actually very simple with no complications, so who knows what it's stuck on. My plan is to schedule the infopass one month prior to expiration of the letter. It's annoying but it's not the end of the world. 

I called USCIS re:infopass. They told me to call within 30 days of the extension letter expiring to schedule an infopass. Hope this helps others in the same boat. 

I'm a bit confused. Still no activity on my case whatsoever. I can't submit outside process time either.

Since the extension letter will expire in a few months, I looked at info pass appointments, and this is what the site says for my local office (Boston)

This office is not accepting walk-in requests or scheduling InfoPass appointments.

What are we supposed to do then?

I filed my i751 in 2/2018 as well and filed N400 in 2/2019. Recently I received my N400 interview appointment letter (18 of june at Mt Laurel NJ) and i751 letter stating that mine is transferred from vermont to NBC as well. I am almost in the same boat as you and hope that my interview on tuesday will be a combo one so I can be done with the whole process. 

 

Anyone else with the same situation?

Well, at least you got an interview date! I have the same timeline as yours but have heard absolutely nothing from them. My 751 was transferred from Vermont to Texas, so I'm probably in the unlucky group that have to wait longer.. 

Can you call them and see if your interview will be a combo? 

I received the amazingly helpful email from USCIS yesterday:

We are still reviewing your case and there are no updates at this time

Thanks!

I called the 800 and give me a ton of option most of them were an auto message, I could not get a chance to talk to anyone. Could you please tell me which option I should pick to be able to take with someone.

I don't actually remember, were there no options to talk to an operator?  

How about sending them an online message through the portal? They responded to my question online once!

I think i have seen at least one case in Boston that went through combo interview on this thread. You may also call them to try to get a Tier2 officer and explain your case. 

That's good, I tried searching the forum for Boston office and couldn't find many useful things. 

Can I call them even if my I-751 processing time hasn't been exactly 18 months yet? I was planning to call them the day it is past its "normal processing time" lol 

I guess I should join this forum now.

Filed I-751 Feb 2018 

Filed N400 March 2019 (biometrics done).

I-751 was transferred from Vermont to Texas back in March. No further updates. 

Both pending   

How can I find out if my final local office will do combo interviews?

You can call USCIS, or send them a message through the portal.

Hello, I got a notice of interview but it's only mentions-400 nothing regarding I-751. How could I know if that Combo or not???? I heard about some cases after people went to the interview they couldn't make it because the USCIS didn't know about their pending I-751 or they don't have the file. 

First of all, yay for you!

Can you call them and see if it will be a combo?

Thank you!

 

I did not ask for a combo interview. The officer explained to me that she has to approve the I-751 first before she can proceed with the N-400 application. So she went through the docs that I submitted on the I-751 first and then we did the N-400 interview.

I just noticed you're a California filer, explains why your process went way more smoothly.

UPDATE: My I-751 was approved on the spot during my naturalization interview today. Office said that I won't be receiving the card and will proceed to the oath ceremony. Thanks for all the help!

Congrats!

Did you ask for a combo interview, or was it just a normal N400 interview?

I got the notice mine card is being produce after 98 days transferred from VSC to TSC. 

I passed N400 interview on 24th April. But the officer couldn't make a decision because of the pending I751. No more interview needed. Waiting for a written letter about my application and the oath. 

Congrats on passing the N400 interview. When did you file your I-751 application? 

My case was transferred from VSC to Texas about 70 days ago, maybe there is hope for me!

We’ve been working on collecting documents all week last week and we’re almost done. 

 

Apparently, USCIS lost the copy of our marriage certificate, copies of our DLs and tax return for 2017. 

 

They listed the documents they received from us:

•Joint Federal Tax Return for 2016

•Joint Bank statements for 2017 and 2018

•Joint lease agreement for 2016

•Family photos 

 

So we have made new copies of our 2015-2018 tax returns (Got them from IRS.gov and those reports have partially redacted personal information), obtained car insurance records for the past 2 years, joint car title for 1 of our cars, bank statements for the past year or so, photos that we didn’t include the previous time, 401K info with my wife being a sole beneficiary, a letter from my credit card company that my wife is an authorized user on the account, NEW COPY of our marriage certificate, Comcast bill with our names and address and a lease copy (our lease renewed this April so it dates from April 2019, hope that won’t be a problem). We might include a T-Mobile bill in there. 

BTW - my wife’s drivers license shows our old address on it and we decided not to even bother getting it changed or sending copies of our drivers license. (Should we?)

Wanted to get your opinion on this, guys. Do you think this all would be enough? Thank you for your support and input! 

Other things that come to mind are: health insurance, life insurance, and if you took trips together you can include the flight tickets too.

the question here when will you be eligible for info pass? when you hit 16 months or we need to wait after 18 months completion???

I'm not sure, given it's a range! 

20 minutes ago, peetee91 said:

Did both of you apply for N-400? 

I have! 

Are you thinking about making an info pass? On the USCIS guideline on the link below it says we're eligible to submit inquiries if the case takes longer than the published processing times for the new location.

For Texas that's 16 to 18 months. I guess I'll have to wait 1.5 more months before I can make an info pass, but your cases are older than mine.
