Thank you for your kind words! I never would have done it without this site's help. Thanks to much WISE advice from VJ, I did not hire any private law firm attorney for my I-751&N-400, saving a ton of $$$$$. Special thanks to @Crazy Cat (yourself) & @OldUser. 

I attended my oath ceremony and received my certificate of citizenship today. This site has been of great help. Thank you!

I hope my timeline can provide some perspective, in case you are anxiously waiting. Everything will eventually work out. Remember SELF-CARE.  Best of luck to all of you!

How is NVC related to this? This is naturalization / removal of conditions case. No visas, no embassies involved.

No surprise, you have a slightly complicated case - I-751 with abuse waiver. Those cases have a higher bar compared to folks who have joint I-751. Good luck with the interview!

1. I hope that my timeline could be of help for those who are waiting and anxious. 
2. Please share your experience if you had a combo interview & attended your oath ceremony at the Sacramento California field office. Thank you in advance!  
December 19, 2017, married in the U.S.;
December 19, 2018, became a conditional U.S. permanent resident;
October 29, 2019, divorce filed by my USC husband;
June 11, 2020, divorce finalized; 
December 16, 2020: "We received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence."
April 30, 2021: "The fingerprints relating to your Form I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, were taken."
September 23, 2021: "We sent a request for additional evidence for your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence."
November 8, 2021: "We received your response for Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence."
November 23, 2021: "Your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, was transferred to another office for processing."
November 24, 2021: "We transferred your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, to another USCIS office that now has jurisdiction over your case."
December 15, 2021: "We are ready to schedule your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, for an interview." October 5, 2023, filed N-400 online;  March 29, 2024, interview scheduled for May 8, 2024. 

I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to an approval email for my 1-751 submission this morning. I was totally not expecting it as the average timeline is currently around 2 years.
 
Just wanted to share the happy news 🙂 and thank everyone here for the support through this immigration journey.
 
Next stop - Citizenship!
 
 

Ok
 
Jan 1 2019 to Jun 30 2019 is 181 days including Jan 1 and Jun 30.
 
The day of departure from U.S. and day of return to U.S. count as days in the U.S.  
 
181 - 2 = 179.
 
I am not seeing the problem. File N-400 in 2023. September 20, 2023

I'd think China dual citizenship problem?

I would file an N-400.  That moved wife's I-751.  Four months after filing, the I-751 and N-400 were both approved.   Just my courteous opinion. 

Choices:
 
1. continue to be passive
 
2. file N-400
 
3. file writ of mandamus. See the posts by @igoyougoduke

No I don't think so, it took 2 years plus for our i751 to be approved and I think our n400 application may have kicked it to an interview.
 
Hang in there, Sacramento field office/NBC/California Service Center are slow.

Hello. I filed my I-751 on December 16, 2020. I just got an I-551 stamp on my passport. 
 
Does it seem like the USCIS is secretly planning to deny my I-751?
