Interesting. The Chicago thread had multiple denials on the day of the interview due to pending I-751, even when their spouse was present. The reason they gave was that they only had a few officers who can adjudicate I-751, and they wouldn't do it because of how busy they were. I wonder if this a Chicago only thing.

Interesting. I'm shocked they got denied to have the interview.. So what did they do afterwards?  There were similar cases that I read, but they still had their N400 interview but a decision cannot be made right away because of the pending i751

Yes we did apply for N-400 (biggest mistake, as I am learning from others, because certain offices do not allow a dual interview). Anybody contemplating to file N-400 with pending I-751, please refrain yourselves! I know people have fast tracked their N-400 process in the past by applying early, but that has significantly changed in recent months. 

 

That being said, I didn't realize that the I-751 cases were transferred to National Benefits Center due to N-400. I'd be interested to know if other applicants who filed N-400 with pending CSC I-751 also had their case transferred to that location. Maybe USCIS picked a specific location for dual processing...who knows! 

Most of the cases (N400 with I751) that I read got transferred to NBC and had dual interviews.

IOE or NBC depending on receipt number. 

This is when I try to add my case. It doesn't have these 2 options. it only allows me to choose Chicago, Dallas, Nebraska. Phoenix, Texas, etc

The "analyze nearby case" feature in the app is hit and miss, though that's not the feature I was talking about. That just tries to give an instant snapshot of cases near yours, but is extremely unreliable. 

 

Instead, the feature I'm taking about is found under Settings -> Similar Case Notifications. You should also enable Case Status Notifications at the bottom of the same menu. 

 

I've received about four notifications this past week showing similar cases moving forward. It indicates the country of citizenship for the filer, as well as the old and new status, and the date of change. I suspect it's the app itself pushing these updates from other people who are also using the app, since there would be no way to get the country of origin from a USCIS receipt number, and the app specifically asks you for that info. 

What service center to put in? Since it's filed office processing the case not service center.

Just FYI.

Though theoretically not applying to us, seriously?

Is this an approval? I never got anything saying we approved your case. 

Do you by any chance remember when you received the second "We received your case  February 26 2018"?

I haven't. I'm losing patience in this waiting game. No update on I-751 whatsoever...

Not finished yet my friend. Not a citizen until the Oath Ceremony. However, what I did notice on the text about the Oath ceremony is that you will hear within 45 days, which kind of corresponds with what the officer said, she said I could expect my notice between 3 and 6 weeks.  That's when I probed a bit more and asked her estimated time line for my Oath Ceremony and she replied that there a quite a few people at the Oath ceremonies,so she expects mine  to be around the beginning of August.   

 

I just looked again at the  email saying we are reviewing  your casefor quality control and my Oath Ceremony inline and noticed they were basically sent together whilst I was still in the car park of the USCIS. Talk about quick!!  I thought there was no quick in USCIS, but I am wrong. I think I may send a letter about how kind the officer was, however very professional and formal at the same time, as she was interviewing me for something very serious.  I just guess that at times we send letters of complaint with sheer frustration, but when someone is kind we tend to overlook that.  You know me, got to give my work mate a HUGE pat on the back, working for USCIS  like you think.... Obviously we sat there and talked about you and yes there is no hiding, as the government now read new immigrants emails, text messages and such!! LOL.

You working for USCIS? What do you mean by "the government now read new immigrants emails, text messages and such!! ? were you just joking or serious?

Got it, that will be perfect if i have the combo interview, if not, my I751 probably will be processed by December this year. Do you know if  they do this procedure whit all N400 whit pending I751? 

Most of the cases, filing N400 with pending I751, that I read about had their I751 transferred and received a separate interview letter from the field office requesting to bring their spouse (some didn't receive this letter). I also read a couple of cases where they didn't receive transfer notices. But it's either they still had combo interview and approved, or a decision cannot be made for their N400 after its interview.  If my I751 doesn't get approved before the n400 interview, I would definitely bring my spouse with me regardless whether they requested a combo interview or not

Just to confirm that you're checking here: https://myaccount.uscis.dhs. and not here:  https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/mycasestatus.do?  The second site only gives status updates but not the actual documents.

 

If your bio letter never posted to the first website then I would contact USCIS as it means something has gone wrong and they may need to correct it to ensure that you receive future notifications (e.g. your interview notice).

Agreed with BSP. 

I was going to suggest the same, make sure you are checking on https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/ for the most up-to-date info and all your notification documents.  

Yes, I was checking under my account that I created to check status and file application online. They posted my NOA1 but didn't post biometrics. I contacted USCIS regarding this matter but the alternative they offered was that they fax me the letter if I wasn't able to receive the physical letter either. So far, I have been able to receive every notification through the mail for I130,I751 an N400.  In my opinion, correcting something in the system is beyond tier 1 and tie 2 's ability. But if you guys know any other methods to correct it, please let me know. And thank you both for the suggestions.

I still have no biometrics appt and it's been more than a week since my NOA1. I might have to just wait for the letter to come in my mailbox.

mine was never posted online and it's still not posted. I waited mine to come in mail to do the biometrics.

I don’t have any information about my I751 yet...  I’m CSC. 

I'm CSC as well. I filed my I751 last July and N400 two weeks ago. I did my biometrics this Monday. I have seen so many cases with pending I751 got transferred to NBC after they filed N400 to combine with their N400 interview. That's why I was wondering if you received any transfer notices.

Hi everybody!

 

N400 Online FIling: May 16, 2018

Biometrics Scheduled: May 19, 2018

Biometrics Taken: June 5, 2018

Interview Scheduled: July 3, 2018

 

I didn’t received the letter yet, but I see online my interview will be on August 10, 2018.

Also I have my pending ROC from may/2017.

 

May God bless we all on this finish line!!! 

Did you receive any notices of transferring your I751 case to NBC? if so, when did you receive it?

Congratz for both of you! The one got approved is my N 400! The online status of I 751 never changed. But a week after the approval, I also received the transfer letter and an approval letter of I 751 saying that I would receive my 10-year green card within 60 days (it will never happen). So I guess you just ignore anything related to I 751 now since your N 400 is approved. I just got my Oath yesterday, still overwhelmed because my IO said my Oath might be in June. We are almost done bruh!

You ever received any I751 transfer notice to NBC before your N400 interview?

Hey guys so I also have my i751 still pending applied in CALIFORNIA service center in NOV 2016.

I applied for n400 under 3year rule in NOV 2017..

 

On 05/2018 I got a letter saying my I751 was transferred to Lee's  summit MO I believe which is USCIS NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER? to ''speed up processing time'' as it states on letter

 

on 06/10 I got my interview notice for N400 which says I will have interview on this month the day 16. It does not say anything about ROC/I751 on it...

It only says bring your green card/ spouse birth certificate/ marriage certificate...

 

I been assuming it will be a combo interview but I heard negative comments saying I must get a lawyer and ask for a combo interview? I won't get an interview because they will have to wait for a decision from that office my case was sent to?

 

Can anyone explain this better to me? Kinda worried now, thanks

Wow, I can't believe it took them like 7 months to schedule your N400 interview. I filed my N400 2 weeks ago and did my biometrics, with I751 pending. My field office is not terribly busy, but I haven't heard anything regarding case transferred. I have seen a couple of posts like your situation. I'm pretty sure one of them received a separate interview letter (I751) sent from the field office after the N400 interview notification. So you might receive another interview letter. I have seen posts, where they can't adjudicate I751 because it's at NBC (Honestly, I don't understand why it would get stuck at NBC. maybe they didn't mail out to the field office in time for the n400 interview?). Either way, I would definitely bring my spouse to the interview. Most of the cases I read are that they transferred I751 to NBC, then may be transferred to the field office, then a combo interview.

Received my 10 year green card by USPS priority mail today, exactly 1 week after the ‘new card is being produced’ email.

Ashanu,

Can you share the questions that you were asked during the interview? That would be really helpful to us.

Thank you

The most crazy thing about my case being transfeto nbc leems summit mo is that there is nobody else has been transferred there with their i 751..i did research alot about the processing of i 751 but couldnt find a single damn post about it 

Any update on your case? Based on your timeline, looks like you did your N400 biometrics end of 2017 and it took them that long to transfer your case and possibly schedule your combo interview?

We filed 3/31, on 4/7 and then on 4/10 we got two notices on transfer, a week later a letter came saying transferred to NBC.

 

About two weeks after we got the N400 interview letter (That came from NBC Missouri address), we got a letter from the Cincinnati office stating they would be doing a combo interview and spouse should plan on attending.  So far, everything has been running smooth.

Great. Hopefully, I will hear something regarding my case being transferred. Did you file your N400 online or through the mail?

I just checked both the USCIS and DHS portals for my cases and neither has anything more recent than the transfer to my local office on 2/26/2018. I have not received any duplicate updates of this kind as of today.

Thanks for letting me know. Yeah, I have duplicates for both the CR and I751 receipt numbers. strange.

On 6/30/2018 at 12:38 PM, jskibo said:

Got a letter yesterday from local office, they are doing a combined ROC / N400 interview for us.

I filed N400 with pending I751 two weeks ago. I already did my biometrics, but still haven't heard anything regarding my I751 case being transferred to NBC. Did you experience a pretty smooth case transfer?

Hi lemongreentea, can I fill the N400 with pending I-751, how can I do that?

 

yes, you can file N400 90 days before the 3rd anniversary of your permanent residence.  You can file it through mail or online which is what I did. In order to file it online, you have to create an USCIS account. https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/

I have a pending I-751. Hopefully that wouldn't happen to us. My local service center has a processing time of 10-15 months. I'm willing to wait if that's what it takes. I'm just being optimistic about it; that's all I can do for now.

Most of the posts that I read said that they had combo interview and got approved pretty quickly for both cases. With pending I-751 and N400, somewhere along the line they will transfer the I751 to NBC and then to local office. So hopefully, we who have both cases pending will post updates here regarding transfers.

Remember the transfer notice to the filed office back in February? i got the exact same notice for the exact same date yesterday again...Did you guys receive them as well?

Hey, I got the exact same transfer notice of i751 to NBC.. and I also applied for N400 on Feb 21. no updates on the case status online, though. 

The date on the transfer notice is 3/8, a day after doing my biometrics for N400.

 

Hopefully it means they’ll be finishing it soon.

Any update? I filed N400 two weeks ago with pending I751. For I751, There was a transfer notice (online) to my field office in back in Feb. After my biometrics done, it repeated, still showing same date in Feb to the filed office. not NBC. Just seems weird to me.

On 4/26/2018 at 2:54 PM, tcksloth said:

I filed the i751 in April 2017 (NOA1 date 4/20/17) and after the biometrics for it, it seemed to sit at CSC until I filed my n400 on 4/1 this year. Then a few days later, I received a Notice of Transfer (online update and paper in the mail) to NBC (National Benefits Center in Lee's Summit, MO.)

 

From what I gather from other posters across different threads here, it seems to be a pretty common occurrence now to get the i751 transferred to NBC after filing the n400. The consensus seems to be that the n400 triggers this so NBC can combine the two and arrange interviews. (But then I've also seen at least one poster who never filed an n400 at all and still got this transfer, and actually received an i751 approval within a few weeks - that probably isn't the norm though.)

 

Anyway, I'm just curious if anyone knows:

My status now shows my n400 as "wait time: 11 months" (with est. completion time saying 12 months) probably because I'm in Southern California. But if they really combined the i751 case with the n400 (and my extension letter expires in less than 2 months), is it really still likely that they'll hold the i751 for a combined interview more than a year from now?

 

 

 

Did you file your N400 online? I just filed mine online 2 weeks ago with I751 pending at CSC. I haven't received any notice of transfer yet. My filed office is not that backed up.
