Thanks for your kind word. I understand it must be hard for you to be in one side of the world and your husband in another. I pray God shield protect your home and marriage. 

Update
 
Our current congressional representative is on the short list as a potential pick for President Biden nomination. So they are on top of their businesses. I called this morning to find out what is going regarding the cased that were DQ but not getting interviewed. They informed me that there is a year wait backlogged and March 2019 is currently getting scheduled. With that said, any date prior to that should call their congressional representative. 

I hope this helps. 

Thank you 

Oh 😳 what does that mean for us? I know that they permanently closed the office over there, so what happens next? I guess we just have to wait and see. Hopefully things pick up and keep going. 

The office that closed doesn’t effect us..

I just called a friend who does immigration paperwork to find out if this is all was just us or across the board. He said during the shut down the system did stop for a few, however when the manifestation began over the lats months that really delay thing because all the consulates had to come back to state to wait for things to come down. As a result, it creates a long backlog. 
 
Haitians in Haiti, turning the country upside down are the reason for this. 

Welcome! Our application was sent to NVC in October and they just got to us. So 60-90 days seems to be appropriate right now.

Hello Everyone,
I initiated the application I130 for my mother on 02/2018 and the case was completed on March 22nd 2019 by NVC. We are still waiting for the scheduling of an interview in Guyana Embassy since. Does anyone know how long is it taking for interviews to be scheduled for this particular Embassy? We are Cubans and now our interviews take place there. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Did you get your interview letter  ? If yes, when ?  Waiting for parents interview since May 22'nd at Mumbai counsulate.
Can we call Mumbai counsulate to check ?

Each service center has different amount of employee, the largest is texas and it also has most application, the number will constantly change based on application they receive. I just check the time frame its not that much off.
Potomac is 9 to 12
Nebraska is 7.5 to 9.5
Texas is 6 to 8
 
There are people who has to wait longer then this time frame in all service center, this just depends on where your file piles up. Don't worry about time line until you hit 7 months of waiting for Nebraska, just focus on getting your papers ready and read NVC posts to get familiar with the process, because you can look at it 100 times and still mess it up lol.

hi
My Submission took 4 weeks to get a reply from NVC, all are good except that I have my mother's passport bio page scanned but not in a horizontally text readable.
they sent me a message in my portal to ask me to replace the document.
I replaced the document 08/07/19 and till not hearing from the agent who review it yet.
I need to get all scanned document Accepted before they can schedule the interview.
Yet I replaced the document same day I got their message and still not hearing from them for Approval.
 
Now Trump just came out with the "public charge rule" which is confusing because for sponsors who have parents oversea, majority of them are retirees with no active incomes
I am hoping to get to see my document Accepted soon and to receive an interview date to be finish this journal.
Hoping for the best to all of us here too.

Hi Henry,
 
Welcome to the group! Texas is working on July 18th today and the process a day a week, so it seems like they are 2 months out from your application. I am thinking you should hear something by April. I BELIEVE the services centers are assigned by states where we lived. We don't get to choose. The dates you listed are estimates, for more accurate data's visit https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ to monitor how things are moving along.

 

Glad to hear. I received the text notification yesterday 10/1/18 and the card was charged the day before that. Yes, let the wait be as excruciatingly short as possible. I hope as we go through the holiday, they keep working lol.

Hi Jamaican Gooner,
Thanks for the template, I modified and posted above with color. I like color!! Easy to see and edit...
Welcome aboard Jamaican Gooner. Glad to see more joining. It is feeling a little lonely in here but hopefully not for long.

Update,

This is a little our of ordinary but my God is an out of ordinary God. Anyways, we just got a call from NCIS and they told us that our N400 application for the interview yesterday has been approved. They wanted to see if we can attend the Oath Ceremony next week 8/23. I inquired what happened to the mail letter, she said she is calling because the letter will not make it on time in the mail. Therefore, we need to go to the counter to pick it up 1/2 an hour before the ceremony. It all work out great because the following week, husband goes back to school so he will not have to miss school to attend these immigration matters. I am beyond thrilled. One more week until this process is over. Next thing on our agenda, application for my mother in law to move to the states.

Thank you Jesus!!! We are almost there.

Hello,
 
My husband had his N400 interview this morning and oh my God the whole morning have been a complete mess. He did not get a I751 Interview letter, so I went just in case. When we arrived, there were 100 of people in line for oath ceremony. We came at 8:40 and could not get in because of the 100 of people. Now it 9:15 and we are still in line. Then, a man came asked everyone to be quiet, then they call our name to see if we were in the line. The guy at the front desk gave attitude because we are late not taking into account the 100 of people in line for Oath Ceremony. So, we went in. As hubby go in, the office with a strict demeanor told me to sit down. I sat and later he called me in saying he needs to interview me because of the pending I751, he cannot make a decision on naturalization. He asked me about my marriage anniversary, being so nervous I totally forgot which caused him to go back to looking at the paperwork. We got married twice, once in my hubby home country and in the state with my family. He wanted to know why. He asked for our first child who died (death certificate) kind of weird I thought. So at the end of it all, he asked if our baby is my biological children with my husband. Then said, he should receive the Oath Ceremony Letter in the mail soon. I am taking that as good news even though the paper said pending decision. Lord, we cannot wait to be done with this particular nightmare. My husband is on the way back to pick up my phone that I forgot in the officer's office due to him making us super nervous even though we had absolutely nothing to hide.
We brought with us.
 
- Our mortgage paperwork
- Bank Account
- Both Marriage Certificate
- Child Birth Certificate
 
Breath!!! So I say all his to say, even if ou have an N400, it will be a combo interview because N400 cannot be approved pending I751.

If 30 days has not pass, I would wait and called on day 31st and not one more later. Then, instead of doing the e-request online - call instead and may be they pay attention to those file by agents first before those we file ourselves. I am not sure, everything is just hoping for the best outcome.  We will find out what is up in 32 days. Are you and I the only one left on this thread, I think there are a couple of others with pending N400 and I751 still here.

I am hoping they take care of the pending I1751 because we are at least 6 months outside of normal processing time. We did not care because we had a schedule N400, but not that's ridiculous. They need to take care of that mess. They are sticklers about people respecting their laws and yet they are being so inefficient.

Fire your attorney.
 
If you have filed an I-751, your status is automatically extended until approval, or, in the case of denial, a final order of removal by a judge.
 
When the initial one year extension expires, your status does NOT expire - only the proof of it, which is the purpose of the stamp, and there is no requirement to obtain a stamp. It is sensible to, but there is no requirement to do so.
 
Doesn't matter if you have a 10yr card, 2yr card, I-797C extension letter, or an I-551 stamp - they are all proof of status and not the status itself.
