Anyone still left in this group waiting for their I-751 interview? I'm at 37 months for my I-751 and 21 months for my N-400 application. 

In 3 weeks I will be waiting 37 months for I-751 and 24 months for N-400. My field location is San Francisco. I looked in processing time which moved from 36 months to and extra week and now moved additional 3 weeks. This is really frustrating especially when they mention 80% of I-751 is processed in 31 months. Our case is not complicated and we have strong evidence and no idea why they can't consider waiving the interview or schedule ASAP.

Husband's I-751 was filed Jan. 2021, then transferred from EAC to NBC Jan. 2022 once he filed the N-400.  His combo interview was today, where he was approved on the spot and took his naturalization oath in the office. 

Congrats!!! Can you share your field location? You are indeed lucky since my wife I-751 was filed in May 2019 and N-400 in May 2021 from San Fran Field Location and we are still waiting so frustrating.

Got an update about a service inquiry we made in October 7 months ago for our i751 case being outside of processing time at our original processing center (WAC). We have an interview scheduled for Monday for an n400 interview and I was a bit concerned that we did not get any notice about our pending i751 which was moved to NBC December 2020 and radio silence since, not even your case was ready to be scheduled for an interview nothing; until the response to the service inquiry.

 

It looks like we will in fact have a combo interview for our i751 and n400.

 

Here is the response that was emailed to us about a week ago from the Sacramento Field office.

____________________________________

Type of service requested:

-- Outside Normal Processing Times

 

The status of this service request is:

 

On October 6, 2021, you contacted USCIS concerning your I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions, to notify us that you believe your case is outside of our normal processing time and to obtain a current case status.  Below is a summary of what we found and how the issue has been or may be resolved.

 

On April 15, 2022, we mailed you a Request for Applicant to Appear for Interview on Form I-797C, Notice of Action for your N-400 application. Your pending I-751 will be addressed at this time.

 

Your appointment date and time are as follows:

Monday, May 16, 2022, at 12:45 P.M.

 

We hope this information is helpful to you.

Congratulations 🎊. I submitted a service request since my wife is outside processing time. We filed I-751 on May 2019 and we have been waiting for interview to be scheduled in San Francisco FO since September 2019. We filed online N400 in May 2020 and I see status saying our request is delayed. All I was told when I called for my wife passport stamp was that I-751 and N400 will be a combo. Now I understand response to my Request for outside processing time inquiry will take time. I hope we hear something soon and SFO FO sucks although filed in 2020 earlier than you you already have an interview. Maybe the officers there are just vacationing in the City and hardly working 😆

My husband recently lost his green card, which is expired (we have the extension letters). We submitted for the removal of conditions back in March 2021 and our case status has been showing “Case is Ready to be Scheduled for an Interview” since December 16, 2021. We also have a pending N-400 application. 
 

2 questions:

1. Is it worth requesting a replacement green card given that his green card was expired and we are waiting for a new GC anyways once conditions have been removed? 
2. is it normal that it’s taking so long to schedule the interview for removal of conditions? 
 

Thanks! 

We filed my wife's I-751 in May 2019 and waiting for Interview since September 2019 about 3 years wait.

Ah no, so 4 years 4 months from day my wife and I married and started the whole process to now. I filed I-751 in Jan 2021 and my N400 in Jan 2022. My case moved very quickly here in Los Angeles County. Chatsworth, CA was my field office and they are really great and efficient and move really fast compared to most.  

Wow they are super fast unlike San Francisco field office.

Our timelines is very similar: filed i-751 in May 2019 and N-400 in June 2020 and both were approved September 2021.  I hope you hear something soon.

Hopefully soon thanks. I spoke to USCIS level 2 customer service and they contacted San Francisco field office for an update  that I was to receive by email in 30 days. I called again yesterday after 48 days and level one customer service said they see an update indicating that we will have a combo interview which is good thing as there is some update. Even online n400 status is saying now I am delayed 😆 I have submitted FOIA and will get the response next month (I heard from forum that this somehow trigger an interview). So next months finger crossed I feel we will get som good news. Thanks for sharing and we'll wishes 🙏

not FOIA/PA but the following

 

USCIS will conduct system maintenance to the Contact Relationship Interface System (CRIS) on Wednesday, Apr. 27, 2022 at 11:50 p.m. through Thursday, Apr. 28, 2022 at 3:00 a.m. Eastern.

Thank you. I saw that note yesterday morning Apr 27 around 3pm eastern time so they probably began their system maintenance a little earlier. I will wait until tomorrow.

And just like that 4 years and 4 months of my journey comes to an end. I had my N400 interview today and it was very easy, a simple writing and reading test followed by the civics questions of which you need 6 out of 10 and as I answered 6 correctly it stopped there. They double checked my application and made sure that my wife's passport was correct and then that was it. I waited a couple of hours and took my Oath and I am officially an American Citizen. Off to get my passport tomorrow!!! Good luck to you all.... 

Congratulations!!! But 4 years and 4 months wait is crazy and I thought we were worse. My wife filed I-751 and N-400 in May 2019 and May 2020 respectively so 3 year wait next month. Is there any reason why your case was significantly delayed outside the 3 year processing time? Can you share your field office? Thank you

Logged in and pleasantly surprised -- new card ordered and case approved! Located in San Francisco Bay Area. N-400 still pending.

 

June 23, 2021 Case Was Approved

June 22, 2021 We ordered your new card.

December 1, 2020 We transferred your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, to another USCIS office that now has jurisdiction over your case.

November 30, 2020 Your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, was transferred to another USCIS office.

November 9, 2020 N-400 filed online.

July 11, 2020 The fingerprints relating to your Form I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, were taken.

November 12, 2019 We received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence.

Congratulations!!! My wife I-751 was filed in May 2019 and been waiting for an interview since Sept 2019. She filled N-400 on May 2020. Seems your interview was waived and wanted to know if you had your original Interview in the US unlike with my wife was at the consulate. Any info you share will be appreciated especially since you are also from the bay area!

We filed our I-751 in November 2019. Got the receipt / extension letter in December 2019. Fingerprinting in February 2020. No news after that. Frustrating wait.

 

On June 20, 2021, we filed a request with USCIS to review our case because our timeline is outside of their normal time frame (very late!). Finally on July 6, 2021 we were told the ten-year green card has been approved. On July 9, 2021 the card arrived in the mail, phew!

 

 

We filed our N-400 in November 2020. Biometrics appointment waived (they said they can re-use existing ones). No further news yet.

 

Congratulations!!! Can you share your field office location? My wife has MSC and our FO is San Francisco.

@LynetteMN No worries. First, check your case processing time. If it is outside the "normal" time frame (as they announced) then you can file a petition at https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayONPTForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=onpt

 

Check case processing time here https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

 

Hope you get your case approved soon. It's so frustrating, the long wait. I can totally understand. 

 

Thanks for sharing I submitted a request. Do you know how long it takes to receive a response? My wife i-751 filing was May 2019 and was ready for interview schedule at San Fran FO since Sept 2019.

Anyone have San Francisco for their local field office and have an interview date yet?  I've been 'ready for a scheduled interview' since the beginning of August 2021 and nothing since. 

SF FO is terrible and my wife was waiting for interview since Sept 2019 and she filed in May 2019.

I'm equally as pessimistic when it comes to American bureaucracy. 

Yes USCIS is inefficient and yet they collect exorbitant fees. They should be privatized

Congrats!!! Still waiting for wife interview at San Francisco field location since September 2019 for May 2019. I wish our FO was as good as yours and others.

Agree with you @poh. However, I am happy that this unnecessary step (Interview) will be at least eliminated for genuine people like us. It may not matter if we have combo interview alongside with N400 application. 

Because it should stay same for AOS applicant as you said fraudulent  people do anything.

When you already have children together and share everything as a couple then no point of the interview. Most folks are genuine so risk based approach is best solution. 👌

This is great info thanks for sharing. My wife filed I-751 inau 2019 and was status for interview scheduling since Sept 2019. My friend's wife had her marriage interview in the US and received her 10 year greencard after filing I-751 because an interview was not required since they did not interview at consular. This process of mandatory interview is what os causing all the delays and I am glad they scrapped it now hopefully we are done with all the waiting.

I hope so.  We filed my wife's case in late March 2019.  It has been "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" since May 2019......still 

My wife I-751 was also filed late May 2019 and has been in "Case is ready to be scheduled for interview" since September 2019. Our field location is San Francisco and it has taken a long time but noticed some folks have already completed their process even those who filed later. I thinks maybe there are more delays with specific field locations.

Hello - Is there anyone that filed I-751 on May 2019 from San Francisco field office that has already been interviewed? I also filed N-400 on May 2020 but still nothing

Member @Libertateposted detailed info and contact for AIC ( American Immigration Council) that is offering free legal representation and upcoming  USCIS class action for delayed N-400 . 

I contacted Leslie and she mentioned that deadline for consideration as a plaintiff for class action lawsuit had passed. She said regarding my FOIA request if I don't get a response within 30 days to contact her colleague Emily Creighton at ecreighton@immcouncil.org. Emily was one of the attorneys in a successful class action challenging delays in USCIS processing of  FOIA requests for A-files.

"AIC is willing to take your case on a pro bono basis – meaning you should not have to pay any legal fees if you decide to work with them and become a plaintiff in their lawsuit.

 

The lawyer in charge of organizing the case is Leslie Dellon.

 

If you would like to explore the possibility of suing USCIS to compel the agency to act on your case, please contact AIC.  They have set up the email mailbox below.

Is everyone in this forum done with their I-751? I'm at 34 months of waiting for I-751 and 20 months of N-400. Only option for me now seems like a Writ of Mandamus lawsuit against USCIS.

I am at month 35 for I-751 and 23 months for N-400 so in the same boat as you are unfortunately. My closest field location is San Francisco and MSC for I-751 and online for N-400. I filed FOIA yesterday April 13. I also never received response from field location from inquiry sent by USCIS officers over the phone. I plan to submit request with our Senater this week.
