You will be just fine. My interview was on Philly. I have the same timeline as you. I went for an stamp 2 weeks before my interview. I went to the interview by myself since my husband couldn't get an off day from job (I was convinced they will rescheduled my interview, But no) . I  was there for about 30 minutes the officer was really nice and professional, she just asked for our life together, things about our daughter and new evidence about our life together. Now I am a US citizen.   Good Luck!!

Oh wow. Yayy Philly!!!!

That's good to hear. So how soon after the interview did u get to take oath? Did u apply for US passport already?

So my wife's N-400 interview was today. Her appointment was at 9:00 AM and we arrived at the local USCIS around 8:35 AM. Traffic was terrible....

 

Congratz. How did you know they were gonna do both the same day? Did you get a notice that said u were being called for both n400 and i751? And how long after your interview do u expect to be called for Oath? 

Cuz I got a mail for n400 interview but it says nothing about i751 and I'm a little concerned that they might send me home cuz my i751 is pending...thoughts?

Dave,  you are out of processing time and so you can ask for the status. 

What did u hear back from your inquiry? I made an inquiry on April 30th and I was supposed to hear back before May 22nd and that was today no glimpse from USCIS. So I I went ahead and made another one...this time they hit me with:

Existing Inquiry Found

We have located a previously submitted inquiry with confirmation number (xxxxxxVSC) for the same issue. You may not submit a new inquiry at this time. You can expect to receive a response to your previous inquiry within 30 days of the date your inquiry was submitted. If you do not receive a response within 30 days, a new inquiry can be submitted at that time or you may call USCIS Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283 or 1-800-767-1833 (TTY). You will need to provide the inquiry confirmation number when you call.

Check your inbox

So my n400 was updated today:

On May 21, 2019, we scheduled an interview for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, Receipt Number IO........ We will mail you an interview notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

A couple questions I have for those who got this already,

1. How long after this UI update do you receive it in the the mail and how many weeks in advance is the interview notice when you saw it online or snail mail.

2. How many here got this but was sent home on interview day because 751 was still pending

3. How many got to sit for n400 interview only and never got called back for 751?

4. How many took n400 and never head bake

That's so strange because when I went to the infopass appointment the officer couldn't even tell me who's assigned to my case. I asked if that's the same IO who interviewed me for N-400 and she said she can't see such information...

My local office is Philly. I don't think they are very backlogged at least I've got my interview pretty fast.

I applied n400 in nov2018/i-751 Oct 2017... No interview notice. Nothing. 

Case was received at local office...

How many here applied for n400 and heard back already?

So I had my 751/400 combo interview last week (where it feels like nothing moved forward, and I'm still waiting on either a RFE or decision...)...

 

As an F-1 student, I was asked about my first date of entry into the United States as well as for my I-20's... which surprised me. Fortunately, I did bring all I-20's I had been issued. Is this really standard? I was surprised because I didn't hear/read anywhere to bring them... I brought them on a hunch.

 

Along the lines of showing my I-20's, now my question is: would I be required to also show documents related to my OPT at any point in the future??? I may or may not have those... Should make an effort to find them in my files or procure them either from my university, or heaven forbid,  USCIS itself? 

Well ur case is not that common. Most ppl here didn't get married while being on F1 or Opt. You are not really part of the norm here so the "standard" won't quite apply to you since you are F1/OPT. 

Most of us here are using our conditional green card + extension letter as valid immigration status. While you also possess those 2 docs, your recent history may raise eye brows and automatically warrants them to question your time as a non immigrant visa. Had u gone thru h1b for example, you have needed to provide all these stuff to them.

Thanks but it didn't take me three months to send it all in. I had to gather everything that I could and put it all together. I don't owe anyone an explanation and I am sorry but I don't know what you are trying to imply. Forgive me to say this, but it doesn't really matter how long you have responded to the RFE letter as long as it gets approved. Sorry but I am not trying to be mean or something. I just couldn't imagine to be questioned like this by someone that I don't even know.

This wasn't meant to be personal and I apologise it was taken this way. I'm only asking because I thought you had to respond with 3 weeks and wondered if something got screwy at USCIS. 

23 hours ago, kenzo_gal said:

Awww thank you so much. I got the RFE letter on December 26th (yeah day after Christmas and it was really frustrating and depressing at the same time) and it's Vermont Service Center. They've asked a lot of documentations and there were some that I do not have, so I just had to explain why I don't have any to present and I have written it on my cover letter. Had to mail it on March and even encountered a big problem with USPS and wasted almost a week because of that. So I had to ask my husband to pick it up and have it mailed elsewhere and he paid $100+ for it but USCIS got the mail a day after. Likewise, it was a good thing that I didn't file for Citizenship yet because I know that it might cause a delay if I did.

So u got rfe Dec 26th and u mailed response 3 months later in March? I'm glad you are all set and everything and congrats but why would u wait 3 months tho?

How about your i751?

It is interesting how some cases are waiting significantly longer than others.  I wonder if it has to do with our nationalities.  It is quite obvious under the current Administration that some countries are subjected to “extreme vetting,” just because.

 

I feel like it is more like “Extreme Waiting”

Idk if that's true especially since we all suffered from this.

In the box where they ask what your previous status for your case is. you can put your information in there. like ask questions or anything.

I know I thought about it...my thought was they may only want to see  "case received at local office on April 9th" there

Just put in my request for out of processing time window. I wish there was a place I could just put in the questions I had.

Like where was my case transferred to or when will it get worked on..

My case was transferred to VSC from CSC and I filed my case in in October 2017 with a priority date of October 19th.
Is there anyone else who is in the same boat; the case is going out of normal processing time window?

I think most of us are. 80% of people got their green card already according to my batch 18019. I would assume the majority would be those that applied for n400, like me. Did u apply for n400? I'm Oct 17th 2017 priority date and in about a week or 2, we should all be able to make an online request.

My husband got his I551 stamp so he's good to go for another year. Two days later, we received an RFE. This is our second one for the I751. I'm thinking of including EVERY SINGLE THING since we were married since they've asked for evidence twice now. We're also planning on submitting around 10 affidavits from family and friends since we only did 3 the first time around. What do you all think? We're still doing the usual bank statements, lease, beneficiary info, health/dental information. I don't want to send them duplicate things but I also am not sure what they are expecting to see that they haven't already received. 

 

Any tips on RFE is appreciated!

Did u apply for n400?

7 hours ago, duduzao said:

I didn't apply for n400 and I'm still waiting, my last update was January 07 Name was updated.

Name change usually results in card being produced. So you are very near..like weeks near

Exactly a week from today I can make a request for outside of processing time window and see what they  have to say. My last update was April 9th, 2018 - case received at local office that most of you have had already. If I had to guess i would say about 1 in 10 applied for n400 with pending I751. In my group there are 334 and 250 for their green cards already and 55 or so have rfe. 28 have had no updates whatsoever I believe these 28 most likely applied for n400.

I already know what they gonna say when they get my request but I just hope it forces someone to look at my case. I read here that most ppl were told "oh we see u applied for n400 with pending i751. Both apps will be adjucated together.."

Who else is still waiting with n400 u submitted?

21 more days (Oct 17th) until I can submit an inquiry for 'case outside of normal processing time'. Right now USCIS is on 26th of Sept.

So what's the process again for getting the Senator involved....

Anyone reading this who's familiar with this or done this before, please holla. If there ways to leverage them, for once let's see my 10 years worth of tax payers money at work.
