Hi all, 

Did anyone still waiting for an interview get a message update that says "Estimated wait time: We are taking longer than expected to process your case. You do not need to do anything at this time."  

Our wait time went down to one more month, but for some reason, we are getting that message at the same time.  

Help! :)

I think both!  First online, then by mail.

Just the partner going for citizenship. I tried to walk with them into the office when they called her name and he stopped me and told me only her.

 

Thanks @Toforo!  The last interview we had was for the both of us, so I thought this one might be too.  

Random question:  Is the citizenship interview for both partners in a marriage-based N400 application?  Or is it just with the partner getting the citizenship?

Mine is updated. I’m still waiting for interview. I applied while my i751 was pending since Jan 2018, but I received my new 10 year green card this month on the 12th. I uploaded pics of the new card in my account and I messaged uscis to let them know, but nothing has changed since the last n400 status since Jan 18th this year “we’re actively reviewing your case” 😓.. I cant wait to be done with this! 

Hang in there!  It seems like people who have i751 and n400s out get processed faster.  Fingers crossed for you!

Do you all remember how long it took for the biometrics status to  appear online after the case-received status?

i'm not sure if there's an updated one but I know there's at least 3 of us who have gone for interviews and passed. I got the letter with my oath ceremony scheduled yesterday in the mail.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What a great feeling!!!  What is your field office?

Hi everyone, I'm a March 2019 filer, but I like to look back to previous months to see if there are any patterns.  Do you all have an updated timeline?

Updated with NOA1 date    Thanks @Sean and Kristina for adding me to the table and fixing the lines that I messed up! 

I can't figure out how to add rows without it erasing the lines in the last two!  So sorry.  I tried adding my info in the last row.  I hope I didn't mess things up

Bonjour March 2019 Filers!

My husband just submitted his N400 application today, so could we please be added to the list?  Our service center is Dallas, Texas and our local field office is in Charlotte, NC.  We don't have any other pending applications, as our i-751 was approved last year in August.  I look forward to going on this journey with you all!  Fingers crossed for all of us for a speedy process 😃

Hello guys!! 

 

Havent come by in a few months. So....Heres the update

 

I had previously filed my N400 in December of 2017 and my I-751 was still pending. I received notification at the end of October that I had been scheduled for my Interview and a letter had been mailed out. November 3rd I received my notice in the mail that my interview was set for Nov 29th and it was my N400 Interview. 

Went in yesterday to interview was informed that my cases had been combined. Officer initially verified my I-751 info and approved it then moved on to the N400. We went over the application, took a photo and confirmed finger prints. My husband accompanied me and we had to provide his passport, my passport Green Card and Drivers License.

 

Asked if we had any additional proof, provided photos of our silly life. Had a pleasant conversation with the officer. Then she asked for my husband to wait in the lobby and proceeded with the civics test. Then the english portion upon completion she informed me I had passed and we went over the questionare of N400. At the end of the interview she informed me she would be recommending me for approval and that if she could get it approved today that my Oath Ceremony would be Dec 11th.  Congratulated me and we left.

 

While I was getting in my car I received notification of a change in my case status. I checked online and my status now states "Oath Ceremony Scheduled" a letter has been sent with the date time and location to my address.

 

It took less than 12 months from N400 application, I was a little scared to have it combined but now I am glad I did.

 

 

Congrats!!!!!!!  That is amazing!!!  

Can I ask two questions?  What do you mean 'the questionnaire of the N400'?  What is that?  And what was the English test like?  Written?

Hi everyone!  We are preparing to submit our N400.  We took a little break after the approval of the I-751.  

So can someone enlighten me?  The paper instructions say that all of the supporting evidence for a marriage-based naturalization (besides copy of green card and marriage certificate) should be brought to the interview.  Online, it is saying to submit them with the N-400.   WHAT DID YOU ALL DO?!  I wasn't expecting to resubmit all of the same evidence that we sent with the I-751, but it looks like that's what they want for the N-400 too.  Is that correct?  Did everyone do just as much (because we sent TONS with the I-751).  Or do they just want evidence for the period between the I-751 and the N-400?  

This  is the part about the affidavit that I have a question about....

U.S. Citizens are required to notify USCIS of a change of address if they have previously submitted a Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, on behalf of someone who has become a permanent resident. If you have previously submitted a Form I-864 for someone who immigrated to the U.S., and that sponsorship agreement is still in force, you must complete a Form I-865, Sponsor’s Notice of Change of Address, within 30 days of the change in address.

https://www.uscis.gov/archive/blog/2010/09/five-answers-to-common-questions-on

Have you all submitted this I-865 when changing your address?  

Hi everyone, 

Well, for those of you still here,  just wanted to share that we received a status update on the DHS website today "we are producing your card and will mail it to you."  The EGOV website still has the Feb 26 transfer glitch.  Our case was received by USCIS 12/6/16.  We haven't received any approval notice or anything yet.    

I have a question about the address change process for those of you kind enough to help out.  When you change your address, have you submitted both the change of address form AR-11 AND a new affidavit form?  I am hearing conflicting information about this.  Some have said both need to be submitted after a move, and some say just the electronic AR-11 is good enough.  Any experiences you can share with me?  What have you all done when you moved?

We're still waiting too.  Our case was received Dec 7 2016.  We're getting ready to move cross-country in 2 weeks, so a little worried now since we expected to have the green card by now.

Just fyi not to scare you. But I was also following the app, which shows the cases above mine approved and the one below mine approved too and some random ones with REF. Mine just shows March glitch message. But on Saturday I checked the DHS website and sadly it said RFE has been sent. I have not received the actual letter in the mail, so I am waiting on that. So you might want to check the DHS website. You may have an update there. 

Do you mean this one?  https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/   

There are so many ways to check status, that I just want to make sure I'm using them all.  Thanks for the info.  Good luck with your RFE!

I would infopass for sure.. I originally had mine schedule for tmr just in case something is going on.

 

Not to scare you but when we filed our AOS, the mailman for some reason did not delivery our interview letter to us. Worst nightmare.

I called tier 2 officer, was on 3 hr wait, told the interview day has already been passed. Made the infopass and went straight for help. Luckly we got rescheduled and good things happened afterwards.

 

With all these system glitches and delays, I wouldn't just rely on what the website tells us at the moment.. I would spend few hours of my day just to check in to see where I would be at.. just my thoughts. Hope it goes well with you truly.

 

BTW, I received my approval mail yesterday, mail is dated 6/20. Just got DHS website telling me the card has been mailed but no tracking number. Reg USCIS website hasn't update since the "card production" update. All updates are being made on the DHS website.

 

Yes, this is good advice.  Thank you for sharing your experience.  And congratulations

Hi everyone, I see that several December filers are still waiting, and we are too!  Our NOA was received the first week of December.  But when I look at the app, many cases before and after our's are showing the February glitch message.   I just don't think they have processed all of December 2016 yet.

Has anyone received an updated I-797 yet? It would definitely help us re-enter US easier, on top of the 551 stamp.

Update to Form I-797 Receipt Notices for Form I-751 and Form I-829

Versión en español

As of June 11, 2018, petitioners who file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, or Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status, will receive a Form I-797 receipt notice that can be presented with their Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card, as evidence of continued status for 18 months past the expiration date on their Permanent Resident Card.

We are making the change from 12 to 18 months because current processing times for Form I-751 and Form I-829 have increased over the past year.

Additionally, we will issue new Form I-797 receipt notices to eligible conditional permanent residents whose Form I-751 or I-829 was still pending as of June 11, 2018. Those Form I-797 receipt notices will also serve as evidence of continued status for 18 months past the expiration date on petitioner’s Permanent Resident Card.

As a reminder, conditional permanent residents who plan to be outside of the United States for a year or more should apply for a reentry permit by filing Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, before leaving the country. Read more information on our Green Card webpage.

We haven't received an updated I-797 yet.  Where did you get this information?  Was it an email?  Have you received an updated I-797?

I am still waiting too and moved once in Feb 2018 and again on May 2018. I did the address change within first 10 days. I am thinking this might have caused delay and afraid mails might got lost too.

 

Just to be on the safe side, I made an infopass to verify the address change and see if there are any updates to my case. I would suggest you do the usps forwarding and change the address. Also I would do an infopass after couple weeks.

 

I will let you guys know what happens at the infopass next wednesday. Until then lets just all enjoy life and do our things haha

 

Thanks so much for the info!  We totally thought everything would be done well before we moved, but still nothing.  :/  

For those of you still waiting, we are too.  We called in and asked for a status update request which was sent to the CSC.  We were supposed to receive some update by the 20th, but still nothing.  We still have the Feb 26 glitch message.  BTW, for those of you who have moved, at what point did you change your address with the USCIS?  We are moving next month, and I'm a little worried about changing the address, especially now, since it seems that any day we might hear some news.  Any thoughts?  I'd greatly appreciate any input!  Do you change your address before the move?  After?  Well before?  A couple days before?  Thanks in advance!
