Hello! I'm new here and wanted to join the community of fellow immigrants on this journey. I married a US citizen and here is a brief timeline for my cases:
I-751
- Filed on July 8th, 2016
- NOA on July 11th, 2016 (California Service Center)
- Biometrics done on August 4th, 2016
- Pending ever since
N-400:
- Filed under the 90 days before 3 years rule
- Filed on July 11th, 2017 at the Phoenix Lock Box
- NOA on July 17th, 2017 (NBC)
- Moved to a different state after a week of applying for N-400
- Filled address change form online the day I moved
- Had an infopass appointment to get a I-551 extension stamp on July 28, 2017
- Biometrics appointment got sent to old address, so I received it late through USPS mail forwarding. Made an Infopass appointment and I was told that the address change did not go through for some reason. Then was directed to go to the local ASC as a walk in for biometrics.
- Biometrics completed on August 10, 2017 as a walk in
- USCIS Case Status online changed to "Case In Line for Interview" on August 28th, 2017
I have had no status changes since then. I have since made an infopass appointment to figure out what's going on with my case. The IO said that the NBC requested my file to be moved from California to the NBC to have them together. My case is waiting in the interview pool and will be sent to the local office, after which my interview will be scheduled. They said that my I-751 will likely not go anywhere because they'll prioritize my N-400 and basically approve them together on the interview date. They said my background check was done and there were no derogatory remarks on my file. I just need to sit tight and wait.
Yesterday, (after 4 months since my infopass), I put an online inquiry into my I-751 hoping to nudge them to push my case forward. This will likely do nothing and I will receive a similar answer to my last infopass appointment. But figured it couldn't hurt to hear an update. Our local office is currently processing December 20, 2016 (that was updated on Dec 26, 2017, but says as of "Oct 31, 2017"), so my guess is at least another 6 months before my interview happens.
If anyone here has additional insight into my situation, I'd love to hear it! If not, I'm glad to share my journey on here with fellow immigrants!

Thanks for sharing your timeline. Good to know there are more traveling in the same boat. I have exactly same coordinates as you do. I have filed 3 service requests so far but no update. The only reason I wanted to have the renewed card was to be able to avail faster immigration and not having to stand in the line for reentry. After waiting for 18 months, I just traveled out of country and came back using I-551 without any issues. The re-entry process was very smooth, no questions asked. Looking at the processing times now for N-400 and I-751, I think filing N-400 concurrently was a good decision. My I-551 is expiring next month so I have to get it stamped one again.

None of August filers have been approved, we will know more when they start adjudicating us. Just no way of knowing whether they will really combine both. The drag is if they combine both, then you won't know your 751 status until probably the 400 interview which could be 9 to 10 months from the day you applied for 400. In the long run, may be beneficial. In the short run, 751 kept in the dark for many more months. We will see.
I agree. I found the note shared by lesly87 very interesting. I searched on the word N400 and found many interesting matches. Did you happen to see that?

As far as I know, a good number of CSC 751August filers and myself included have applied for 400 while waiting for 751 approval, and maybe some CSC July filers are in the same situation as well. It will be interesting to see how many 751 approvals also have 400 pending. If anyone of you get your 751 approval and have 400 pending, please share, appreciate it, thanks.
July filers have added a column for "N400 Filers" in the list. It is becoming apparent that the N400 filers have not received any approvals. It is also the fact that 12 of the June filers (no N400 applied) also are waiting approval.

Exhausting process.
Received response to my out of processing request - response below.
"USCIS records indicate that your I-751 was approved on October 5, 2017. Your card is currently in production. You will receive your card in the mail within 30 days. Please ensure we have your current mailing address, and verify that you are registered to receive mail at the address you provided to us. We apologize for the delay in receiving your card."
Finally! Not sure if it was the prod from the second out of normal processing time service request. Anyway - it's good to know that stage is over and done with!
Thanks for everyone's support and help! It's been er...... fun! Aha.
OMG!! This news has brought so much hope for all of us. So happy for you. 12 more to go!!

I applied for N400 in August 2017 (paper), filed I-751 June 2016. Nothing has happpend to either case so far except biometrics a few weeks after filing each. There are still several other June 2016 I-751 filers waiting for approval, so no idea whether the N400 has held my I-751 up or it's just normal slow processing. I'll let you know if my I-751 gets approved. I filed a service request a few days ago, since it is outside the CSC processing time now, but haven't heard back on that (was given Oct 5th as date to hear by). But I figured it's just one long waiting game, and the sooner I filed the N400 the sooner it will all be done with. And I have the extension stamp now anyway, good for another 10 month. And when I had an info-pass appointment to get the green card extension stamp in July, the officer told me I should file N400 once eligible, so I get in line for that, as Denver has very long N400 processing times (according to their website, currently processing Oct 2016 N400).
Thanks for your response. My I-751 date is 07/01/16 so I am not that far away from June filers and sailing in the same boat as you are. In July forum, our experience is that no N-400 applicant is approved in the 30% approved cases. I am hopeful that we will hear something soon either from I-751 or N-400. Glad to have someone to compare notes.
-
I would agree on the conclusion on N400 causing delays, but in June most of the wait listed applicants are non-N400.

Got an update today apparently case is on processing hold due to security checks that are pending. The wait continues!
Hi Anubabes268
How did you get the update? Was it in response to your Service request or did you call in?
I also wanted to to ask if you applied for N400 while waiting for 751 approval.

I've found they respond well inside the due date but their responses are just auto responses and show no regard to your actual case status.
This is my second out of processing time request. My first I got the following response.....
"On 08/19/2017, you or your representative contacted USCIS concerning your I-751 to notify us that you believe your case is outside of our normal processing time. Below is a summary of what we found and how the issue has been or may be resolved.
Thank you for your inquiry. We recognize your interest in the final adjudication of your pending petition and are aware of the difficulties caused by any delay in processing. We regret that we are not able to give you a timeframe for when we will review your case but the California Service Center is committed to processing this workload. We will be making every effort to adjudicate your case in the most efficient manner based on our available resources.
In the interim, if your I-551 has expired and your I-797, Notice of Action, extending your conditional status for a 1-year period has expired, you may elect to create an appointment to attend a local USCIS Field Office. At your appointment, a USCIS Officer may stamp your unexpired foreign passport with an I-551 stamp with a 12-month expiration date. To create an appointment with a local field office, please refer to our website:
https://my.uscis.gov/appointment
We appreciate your patience and understanding."so its basically the stuff that falls out of a bulls behind.
I waited 30 days and filed another. You can only file one request per month.
Hope you get a better response. My second due date is "October 17, 2017"
Thanks for heads up!! I won't keep my hopes up now. May be two more weeks before all June applications are cleared.

Was just thinking same thing. Sucks right?
I've filed another out of normal processing request. I'll see what happens.....
I have filed one too with the due date of 10/14/17. Did your old request already timed out? I am N-400 filer but I see that many people who haven't filed N-400 are also waiting.

Just now, NC1987 said:
Evening.
I applied on the 19/07/2016. Extension valid until 19/08/2017.
Biometrics appointment 18/10/2016.
08/08/2017 I had my passport stamped for an additional 6months (through 7th February 2018).
Cool. Now we can watch for each other's cases (N400+i751) to see if there is any common thread.

I am also waiting on I-751. I applied for N400 in May 2017 currently in line for interview.
So at least three pending cases that have applied for N400.
NC 1987, I don't see your name in the list June or July. What is your I-751 NOA?

Hello. No, we have not applied for the N400 yet.
Thanks Audra.
It seems Darkchile and I are both N400 appliers. (only unapproved in July forum with NOA date prior to 07/05/16)
Not sure if LUAL has applied for N400 too.

Those of you still waiting, Have you applied for N-400?
Hi friendlyusa,
I have applied for N-400. I did put a couple of inquiries in Jun and July forum and not everyone who is still waiting has applied for the N-400. At the same time, except for one guy in September forum, none that applied for N-400 has received decision on I751.
-
July 1 here. Still waiting. I am hoping for some news this week being the last week of the month. Although 14 folks from June are still pending. Can't complain considering what they are going through.

I applied for N-400 (Aug 2017 filer) while my I-751 (Sep 2016 filer) was pending at CSC. Luckily my I-751 was approved within one month of filing N-400. But I have seen people who had combo interview for I-751 and N-400 at local field office. So it is very hard to predict whether USCIS will combine these two petitions together or not.
My personal opinion is that if your priority is to get US citizenship as early as possible then apply for it even if I-751 is pending provided that you are eligible to do so.
That is amazing! Nothing short of Miracle. I am July 2016 filer. You case brings us all hope.

Hi
Has anyone in this forum applied for N400 while I-751 being pending (June / July) and then gotten I-751 approval? I am aware of only one such person so far from local office of Honolulu?
I placed this question in the June I-751 forum but I haven't received any response except for the one person mentioned above.
Let me know if you do.
Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for the reply. I'm assuming you don't have an interview scheduled yet.
Right, No appointment yet. Chicago is still scheduling Feb-17 applications. But there are other local offices (smaller cities) that are scheduling appointments for N-400 Aug appointments. Still trying to figure out if this will only delay I-751 process based on physical transfer of the file.

How far are you in the process? Did you get biometrics done yet? As far as I'm concerned, at this point if you don't have your green card and have an extension stamp it's pointless not to apply for citizenship (unless you don't want to for some reason). Waiting for the green card doesn't really make sense if citizenship is an option.
No, it was identical to the first.
Biometrics were done on 9/1 and Yes I agree with your point.

Hi Guys, I'm new here...July 2016 Filer NOA JULY 12/2016 Still waiting. I'm planing to file for N-400 as 90 days prior 3 years permanent resident (oct 7).
I'll appreciate is somebody help me with this info:
some of you guys already sent N400 package? what is better mail or online?
what documents should I included in the package?
Thank you! have a great day
There are 3-4 folks (that I know of) in July forum who have filed N400 while I-751 is still pending approval and we are all yet waiting for I-751 approvals. In June forum there was only one person who had his I-751 and N400 interview conducted within 3 months of filing. He is from Honolulu.(my guess is that less open applications)
Based on my knowledge following the N400 (Aug-17) threads, the recent trend is that the online applications have slightly faster response for getting the interview scheduled. But like many other things, it is just a generalization.

The furthest July filer I've seen been approved from CSC was July 11. If anyone in July has been approved beyond that, they haven't posted to let us know yet
I believe there is an approval from 0718 NOA from last week which is yet to be updated in the list.

A Quick question. When you file online inquiry after your NOA falls within processing dates, they give you a service request number and a latest date you will hear from them.
What is your experience about the date they provided on the service request. Did you get your approvals by that date? This question goes more to filers whose NOW is date prior to 6/20 and have filed SR last month.
It will be great to hear your experience with Service request.
