  1. Hello, In November, my husband attended his interview, passed his english and civics test and was told that everything looked great , but he could not be approved until the I-751 was 'looked at' which would take 4-5 weeks (The interviewer's words). He was specifically told he would not need another interview nor another test. That the only thing holding everything up was the i-751. Fast forward to late April and nothing until the i-751 was approved, husband was now on a 10 year green card. At this point we were already making contact/inquiries with representatives and senators for more information, but they came back with "This is still being looked at" We also filed an outside of normal processing times. Two days ago, after 7 months of waiting including the approval of an i-751 which contained the same information and the same answers to the same questions, we received a request for information asking for an entire criminal history for any offenses (originals or certified copies). They asked for a bunch more stuff (if available) like court minutes, dispositions, etc. My husband already gave this information several times (It was a simple failure to stop conviction for bumping into a parked car and driving away without realizing he had bumped it -- he had a fine and had to pay some minor damages, no suspension of license, no drugs/alcohol related crimes. Nothing major at all and this was also more than 15 years ago at this point). At this point we didn't know what they wanted, except that we noticed we only included the court records that showed the fine amounts We quickly responded by including the ACRO (Which showed No Live Trace) and the Subject Access Request we made all the way back during the beginning of the K-1 process. And then we re-included the court record. Is this what they were asking for? Beyond this we have no idea what more information they could possibly want as this was the only information we were able to get when talking to the courts/police in the UK when we tried to get this information the first time. I'm just hoping its because we forgot to add in the ACRO and the Subject Access Request and only included the court record that they just needed this (though I don't understand why they didn't just check either the K-1, or the AoS for it...not sure if we put it into the i-751) Is there anything else we can possibly get for them? (UK records) At this rate we just want to get an answer and they seem hung up on information they already have. I understand its partially our oversight but they also completed the whole process up to the interview and were able to approve a K-1, an AoS and an i-751 then sit on an interview for 7+ months before asking for this and only after we made an 'outside of processing times' request. ..its exasperating.
  2. I wonder then, out of curiosity: how accurate is the time frame he gave us? How much faith can I put in that time frame (4-5 weeks). Can anyone who scours this forum or posts more than I do by personal experience let me know or have any anecdotal evidence regarding people in scenario 2 (Sounds most like us) and the amount of time it took for them to fish the i-751 out and approve it?
  3. Hmm maybe that's why the interviewer specifically said my husband wouldn't need to come back for another one; just in case the i-751 prompted it.
  4. My husband had his N400 interview at the Philadelphia office over the weekend. The process was rather simple, I was not allowed to go in but from what I was told the interview was rather normal. First he was put through the reading/writing test which he passed, then the civics test which he also passed (as noted on his paperwork). He was asked about any arrests, to which he mentioned some old traffic related convictions he had back in the UK over 15 years ago at this point (He also mentioned these on K1, AoS and RoC) and provided the information. The interviewer basically made these sound like a non issue. He asked minimal questions about the marriage (When were you married, where do you live, who lives with you -- Provided a deed which he took) Asked husband if he owed any taxes to which he said no and provided tax return information. Then he asked my husband if he owned any guns (Not sure that was one of the yes/no questions on the N-400). Husband said yes. The interviewer asked legally?, to which my husband also says yes (He owns some firearms and has a concealed carry license same as me). The interview wrapped up, and the interviewer said that he passed the tests, and would not have to return for any further interviews, but needed 'his file' in order to approve him. Specifically, because his Removal of Conditions was still in "Case received" status (Since July 2021!) he'd have to correct that before being able to send an approval. He said that this process may take 4-5 weeks. My husband asked about his overseas travel over christmas and he was told to continue to travel on greencard+passport+extension letter. What I wanted to know is is this normal? Can an outstanding RoC cause a delay of an approval? I assumed the file would be right there and they could handle the process all at once. Is there a reason this didn't happen? This is the last leg of the process, and I feel like I'm right back at the start of K-1 where my husband was stuck in administrative processing hell. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!
  5. If it makes you feel better I am slightly an idiot. I just found the 24 month extension that we definitely did get but must have gotten caught in the maelstrom of the last year. USPS Informed Delivery + never deleting email is actually really useful. Once I confirmed we got some sort of notice from USCIS in October I knew it had to be somewhere and there was a limited number of places I'd have shoved it So That worry is over. Now it's just waiting until July to start the Naturalization Process
  6. I saw that Nebraska is very slow, I'm just nervous because we haven't even gotten the letter of extension for the 24 months.
  7. I'm sort of nervous. We got the dreaded Nebraska filing center, filed 7/21/2021 and we've since received absolutely nothing past the original NOA1 on the 31st along with the 18 month extension. We've received no request for biometrics. We haven't even received a letter extending the Greencard for 24 months instead of the 18....Should we make a phone call? Is there any point? We'd at least like to get the additional extension
  8. Starting to get really nervous. Case (Nebraska) still reading as "Case Received" since filing on July 29th (Notice date 7/31). No Biometrics and no second letter saying that we've been extended for 24 months rather than just the 18. Address is right on the form. Do some people just not get the second letter? Nebraska seems to be super backed up and says its still dealing with cases from 2019....
  9. Hello, Just to get another (or many) sets of eyes on this. Here is what I am including with our packet for Removal of Conditions.

I thought there was something like an e-notification form that I should be adding but I can't for the life of me find it. Thanks.
  10. For some reason I thought that at the time of filing he had to be in the country. I could be wrong since I don't remember where I saw that.
  11. Thank you for the help. Yes, we meant the Greencard not the Visa. Sorry. We will do that. 2 year conditional greencard, September 20th.
  12. I really have no idea where to put this so if it's wrong then please move it as needed: My husband and I have an issue and covid is making it worse. His 2 year visa (K-1 to LPR) is set to expire end of Sept and we'll start removal of conditions in June. Sadly, we just received news today that his grandfather has terminal cancer and has very little time left. As a result, we are looking to travel back to the UK. Worse still, we both let our passports expire (his expired and I had a name change). We're trying to figure out a few things: 1. If we can expedite passports or get him an emergency travel document that will allow him to enter the UK and return before June when we start file the Removal of Conditions (Since he needs to be in the country to start that if I understand correctly) 2. If there's any chance of me being able to travel with him to see his grandfather and/or to be with his family and go to the funeral. (This isn't required, but my biggest fear is him being able to get there but being stuck there and not being able to come back and having to start the whole process over and being without him for years again..) Please let me know if there's anything that we can do or if there are any resources we can ask Thanks and sorry if this is distraught and disjointed.
