FYI
Sat my interview yesterday in Norfolk, VA. They adjudicated my i-751 before my n-400. Passed my interview & she said I'd be notified when my ceremony will be.
If you have an outstanding i-751, make sure you bring your spouse. Nothing was mentioned on my paperwork, but they asked to speak with them. Luckily they were downstairs waiting in the car

n-400

February 23, 2022
Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled

We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review.

i-751

Filed Aug 29 2021 online, reuse biometrics Aug 30 2021. Notice today that the interview is in late Feb at the Norfolk office.

Received notification from USCIS this afternoon I'm being transferred from YSC. Will update when I get the letter saying where they've transferred my file. Sep 11 2020 NOA1

Feeling pretty frustrated with YSC/Potomac... Can't enquire as they're only accepting enquiries for cases on or before October 19, 2019 atm.

I apply for citizenship in 3 weeks! Can't wait to never talk to them again. 😄

Good news for september YSC filers! My husband just received a case status update! Fingerprints were applied today. This YSC standstill has been frustrating. Hopeful now that we have an update that things will move forward quicker! 😊

I also got my online update that fingerprints are being applied! YSC also

Hi all! I'm an NOA1 Sep 11. Received my letter & extension on Sep 21. Hoping I miss out on Biometrics as they took them for my AOS. 🙂
K1 - May 2018
AOS - Nov 2018

Hi all! 

I haven't been active on this thread as I've been enjoying time with my hubby FINALLY after an 11 month K1 wait, but our July 7 AOS application has been approved!

Timeline as follows;

Bio. Appt.: 2018-08-02 (Bakersfield, CA)

Interview Notice: 2018-10-22
Interview Date: 2018-11-27 (Fresno, CA)
Approval Date: 2018-11-30 (online), 2018-12-03 (mail)

Feel free to ask any questions about the interview; I posted a review of the Fresno office - it was great! No issues

Hi all,

You need to wait 10 business days from admittance (SS office told me this). I knew someone who waited until they were married to apply for a SSN number (arrived on K1) and they were denied and told to lodge with the 1-485. 

Social Security also wouldn't verify my documents, so I'm currently undergoing "administrative processing" whereby my documents are being checked. I found this interesting considering everything had to have been checked by Social Security to have my visa issued...

We got our NVC number this morning! They received it on 23 Feb - the email said it was expedited? They might be taking pity on us poor Junies that got left behind! Praying for everyone that is still waiting xx

OMFG!!!!!  The RFE is asking for the divorce decree (which was included) and proof we met in the last 2 years...(I visited 5 times in 2017)!!!!

 

I don't know whether I should laugh or cry....OK, I'll laugh....

Easy fix!!!! Post that b**** back express & get your approval dude!

USCIS did something other than lie

That is about the most information that I have ever seen them give!  

He was pretty upset on the phone - I think it was a combo of a genuinely nice Tier 1 & trying to help my guy out.

Our case is finally in transit to the consulate, it feels surreal to be finally at this stage. I have booked my medical and I am hoping for an interview date early March with POE late March, fingers n toes all crossed. 

I continue to check daily @John & Rose, @Trinab80 in the to hope finally see your Noa2. This process is mentally draining and I feel for all those still waiting on their Noa2. I do wish we could see the process, know where are files are at and what they are currently working on at each stage. Currently we just wait in the dark not knowing. More information would really help.

@ccherry has just had hers updated to ready & I will be stalking both of you!

Now I kinda want to call and see if I get through to anyone nice, but I called twice last week so I better not. I’m still waiting for a NOA2, received on June 27

Ahhhh!!!! Have you tried submitting an "outside of normal" request? Even though it has been updated to say June 27?

Was that info from a tier 1 or 2?

Tier 1 - weird, right?!

Hi guys!

We submitted an "outside of normal processing" on Jan 31 - my USC has called today to chase up USCIS. He got a LOVELY guy on the other end of they phone, and he admitted we are outside of normal processing, that our file has been overlooked, and that when this does happen, it is always at CSC due to workload. We are the second call in 3 days he has personally taken about overlooked June cases...

He said we should have a response by 15 Feb from our case inquiry  - it's been received & assigned to an officer at CSC to FIND OUR FILE!!!! All these theories about someone taking it to he breakroom and forgetting about it may ring true...

If they don't answer us by 15 Feb, we can contact USCIS again & they will provide us a with a direct email address for CSC. If that doesn't bear fruit, we can send another USCIS request 30 days after our original. It's one massive merry-go-round without the merry  (typical processing time for USCIS request is 5-15 days)

He looked over our case and said we should be approved as we didn't miss anything; however, if they can't find the file there is an avenue to resubmit under "USCIS error" and receive an expedited priority on our file. 

@John & Rose, @Martin3517 maybe our files are in the same pile???

It is the end of the day. Try again tomorrow. 

Have you & @John & Rose tried another congressman enquiry? We enquired Jan 31 & have received something via Informed Delivery today! I'll let you guys know what it says

If anyone is interested, this is what I got.  Jenny is the immigration liaison for my Congressman's (Mike Quigley) office... Same old garbage.  

 

RE: I129F Case #- WAC1790353747

 

Good afternoon Jenny, 

Thank you for your inquiry on behalf of your constituent, John Lussow, regarding the I-129F petition filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

 Your constituent’s case is pending review with an adjudications officer. Your constituent should receive a notice of action on his case within 30-45 days. Please contact us again if the timeframe has expired and the constituent has not received a notice of action* from USCIS. 

 *A notice of action may be in a form of Approval Notice, Denial Notice, Transfer Notice, Request for Evidence, Notice of Intent to Deny or Notice of Intent to Revoke. 

 I hope you find this information helpful. Have a great day.

 

I was hoping my Congressman could get more than the typical Tier I script.

We got the same John

Our 45 days is up on Feb 2 - you're in my thoughts & prayers!! Your approval will happen. 

Still no NOA2 or RFE, and at this point I'm looking at booking a trip end of May to Japan  

Is this crazy? 3 months apart is just about our breaking point, and I'm there for 2 weeks in Feb.

Haha oh gosh! Just caught up. Part 3 is a clear sign USCIS need to pull their fingers out of their you know what 

Hubby called using the "we lost our WAC number" and got a call back from a Tier II within 42 minutes.

His response to the inquiry 'there is no update, it is in process with the California Service Center, you filed on 13 June, and they are currently digging into 1 June...you should be receiving a decision ANY DAY NOW'

Sorry if this has been answered before, but our NOA1 was June 9? Have I been a June 13 ALL this time?

I know once you get granted the visa it’s self it’s valid for 6 months but yeah I certainly wanted to avoid having to redo the whole process again.

Hey, I posted about this a couple weeks ago

Taken directly from https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html:

"My Petition Expired – Can It Be Extended?

The I-129F petition is valid for four months from the date of approval by USCIS (which is your NOA2 date). A consular officer can extend the validity of the petition if it expires before visa processing is completed."

Assuming the NVC wait is a valid reason, but you delaying for personal reasons may not be...
