Hi guys!! Just had my interview and we were approved! The lady who did it said that she didnt understand why our case wasnt automatically approved for the card without the interview, given the amount of evidence we sent out... hahaha oh well, at least there was no drama to it!
 
It was very chill, she went over form I-751 with both me and my husband and asked how we met. She also got some copies of our DL's and updated paperwork (such as bill, statements) that we had since we sent over our documents. She said I should be getting a confirmation that my case was approved within the next day or so (it could be within hours) and recommended that I started filling out for citizenship because they have caught up with the backlog from the pandemic.
 
Very relieved and now Im just waiting for my case to update so I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!
 
 

We passed the ROC interview.  I was surprises that I was being asked all the questions instead of my conditional resident wife.  Initially the officer seemed bit cold but after few minutes of questioning she became cordial.  We both worked for the government so we kind of established rapport.   The officer asked her maybe 2 questions. I was asked 20 or do questions.  We had an interpreter but forgot to mention about her to the officer so ended up having on standby.  We didn't need one at all.  
I was concerned that I checked she understands English on the form and be scrutinized about it.  Towards the end she said we are to be approved.  I offered 2 inch thick prong fastended updated documents but she said no need and didn't bother to accept it. 😁
 
Here are the questions not exactly in the order listed:
To US Citizen:
Questions about her taking my last name after seeing her driver license and marriage certificate.
Birth date of wife?
Where do you work.?
Other questions as bout my job, etc
Do you have a mortgage?
About my apartment bought before marriage, etc
Do I have a side job?
Did you have to pay a dowry?
Where did you take the engagement photos.?
Questions about engagement pictures.
Your wife family are a middle class family?
Do you have any children?
Where your work?
What year did I became naturalized?
What year I immigrated to US.
Who sponsored me to come to US?
Did you do the application?
More questions that lead from the other questions above.
 
To conditional resident wife:
How many bedroom?
Who cooks?  (I intentionally redirected question to my wife so she can answer.  I wanted show her English improved and good since on the form I checked she understands English)
 
It has been a long journey and many days of worrying and preparation.    Naturalization is next!  
 
Good luck to y'all.   Don't stress it.  Just keep it real.   They know if you are faking it.

Thank you! The San Fernando Valley one, in Chastworth CA 

Hey guys,
As of today my status as been updated to " SCHEDULE FOR INTERVIEW". 
 
But what does this mean?
Case Status: Testing and Interview

The 10 year car arrived on Monday, exactly a week after approval. Filed N-400 today...Best wishes everyone

We had our interview today and the case was approved. We arrived at 7:45 AM in Hartford, CT. The interview was pretty simple. Just some questions right from the application ….things like verifying names, Date of Births, social security number of my wife, date of marriage etc. She very briefly reviewed the supporting docs we had brought with us and compared to some stuff we had sent in as part of the application. One thing to remember doing is to bring a copy of the originals. Most of our supporting documents were printouts but there were some originals (bills, passports, id's). Be sure to bring a copy of these. She went and made copies of the passport/ids but wasn't very happy about it. Otherwise she was polite and the interview lasted about 15 minutes. She said card will arrive in 30-45 days! Is that accurate? Also, received the email that card is being produced
Off to the N-400 Journey. Good luck everyone!

Got my card. Now on to the N400 Journey

Super congrats @See7!! Im so sorry for the delay in replying, I've been so busy with work but as soon as I saw the notification on my email I got so happy for you!
 
i'm about to send my evidences in a few weeks, just waiting for a couple more documents we want to add and hopefully it's a done deal  
Nice!! Thank you!

Thanks for starting this @See7!!

This forum is to start early discussion around N-400 for June 2021 filers and to be in touch with other filers to learn about progress and any new updates.

Hi Everyone, 
 
I hope you'll are doing well!
 
I know it's too early to start N-400 forum for June 2021 filers but I as we are almost 3 months away from June so I thought to start N-400 June 2021 page.
 
 
Please follow/comment/discuss about your June 2021 N-400 filing. Thank you.
 

Update after 8.5 month of waiting, i got an email from the USCIS the card is in production as of March 5 and today March 6 the status changed to petition approved for ROC. 
 
To say i am elated would be to say the least. I could not believe my eyes because Nebraska center is averaging at 13 months for 50 percent and 28.5 months for 93% of i-751 cases, so to get this approved right at 8.5 months after filing is such a relief. 
 
Now can finally sigh a breath of relief before I file for N-400 online. 
 
Best of luck everybody. 

@izavox and @TN_Meow my ROC journey completed! Received my 10 yrs card today! Took 8 months 2 days to approve my application without any interview. I hope you guys get it soon.

I hope you get it soon :) 

@See7 I got a notification saying my fingerprints were applied to my case as well. I think this means we get to skip the actual biometric appointment. Maybe? 
I'm happy there is now an update and the case is *slowly* moving.

@izavox and @TN_Meow got an update - January 23, 2021 Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken. I am not sure if they used my biometric info from I-485 as I never got biometric appointment for I-751.

I got this notice yesterday as well @See7

I'm one of the "lucky ones" too 😉 Received in the mail today:
 
"We have completed a preliminary review of the application or petition ("your case") listed above. As part of standard processing, we transferred your case to the USCIS office listed below that has jurisdiction over your case. That office will notify you in writing when they make a decision on your case or if they need additional information."
 
Transferred to National Benefits Center in Missouri.

Yup, got the same thing!

Tracked Case online and I see this..(maybe this transfer is due to workload balance)
 
On December 30, 2020, we transferred your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number WAC XXXXXXXXXX, to another USCIS office. That office now has jurisdiction over your case. We sent you a notice that explains why we moved your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your notice by January 29, 2021, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.   @izavox or @TN_Meow do you guys have any update on your cases?

my 2 cents...create an online uscis account ( if you haven’t already ) once you login there will be an option to send message, follow the instructions and submit your question. Now, wait game begins 😊
 
Trust me you will certainly get a call from level 2, WHY?? Because it is based on my experience.
 
Last month I submitted a message through my online account and earlier this week I got a call from Washington DC # saying that “this is officer <name>” from USCIS and it’s regarding my online message. Officer started to verify details but I was confused (LOL) since officer didn’t mention his uscis id (which every level one does) so I wanted to make sure that it was not a spam call. As per him level 2 is an officer and they are FED employee thus they only go by “officer <name>” anyways long story short he was helpful and gave me all the information about my application.
 
@BobKat based on my conversation with uscis officer if you haven’t received your biometric it might be possible -
1) Your application is at the service center and they are still running background checks or they are still clearing their backlog since USCIS was closed for 3-4 months during initial Covid shutdown.
2) Or, your application is at local field office and waiting in queue to schedule an appointment.
 
Once USCIS officer (level 2) calls you only then you will be able to get a good view of your application. Trust me I have been on calls with level 1 multiple times and I always get different answers. I would suggest to message USCIS through your online account and wait for their response.
 
I hope you have a great day and happy holidays!

Hi everybody,
 
i have not received anything regarding biometrics since I received my NOA in July. What sort of service requests can I do? I tried to call USCIS, but this is futile. My case status is the same since 191 days (case received) and I have no idea if they sent something and it might have been lost in the mail (I worry about that). What service requests can I file?
 
thank you!

I randomly checked my case today on the USCIS website and found that they updated it to show that my finger prints on file have been applied to my application to remove conditions. The update says the fingerprints were applied on Aug 25th!! So these guys are letting me know two months after the fact! haha. I have been checking almost every week since filing and there was nothing. Anyways, at least there is movement. My service center is SRC
