Hi everyone, I have been reading and following this forum for the past several years, and honestly, I thought that this day would never come. I am writing this to share that my immigration journey is finally coming to an end.
 
I applied for the I-751 in June of 2021, and my case has been processed by the SRC Texas Service Center. For almost 1 year and 6 months, I did not hear anything from them other than fingerprints being re-used and all the extension letters I have received (18, 24 and 48 months).
 
In December of 2022 (after being eligible for a while) I decided to pull the trigger and apply for citizenship. And then immediately, as expected, my I-751 was transferred to NBC for fast processing.
 
Only 8 months later, in August of this year 2023, I finally received a letter inviting me for an interview which happened before-yesterday 9/5/2023.  I went to USCIS in New Orleans Louisiana in the morning as the interview letter invited. 
 
The IO who interviewed me was very professional and polite, so the interview went very smoothly. When I walked into her office, I immediately saw my I-751 file on her desk, which was a big relief. So as I expected I was having a combo interview. The officer said we would start reviewing my I-751 first and only after that we would proceed with the N-400.
She said all looked good, that I had provided more than enough evidence, and did not ask for any more documents. She asked me to confirm all the personal information in the application such as name, date of birth, address, cell phone number, etc. After that she said ok, All is good and I am approving your I-751. She looked and typed in the computer for a little while and confirmed she approved my removal of conditions and now we can proceed with the N-400.
 
We then started the civics test and the questions were: Who is the father of our country? What did Martin Luther King Jr. do? Why do some states have more representatives?, Name one state that borders Canada, Name one branch or part of the government, What stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful?
 
I got all 6 questions right and we proceeded with the reading and writing tests which I also passed both. At the end of the interview, she said my N-400 was also approved and that I should wait for the notice for the Oath Ceremony.
 
On the same day in the afternoon, I checked my USCIS online account and the Oath Ceremony notice was there and had been scheduled for the end of this month.
So that's it! I will finally be done soon.
 
To all of you waiting on decisions on your case, hang tight, and have hope! Your day will also come. Feel free to ask any questions you may have! Good luck.

Yes, that's the same we got and gc arrived in the mail. No interview. Congrats

I also received my green card in the mail 2 days ago, no interview, our service center was Vermont.

Ya'll inspired me to check my USCIS acct and it said new card was delivered!! Checked mail and husband now has 10yr green card! No interview

My I-751 status changed on January 5 from is being reviewed to “new card is being produced”. No interview. 

Just got a notification: "New card is being produced". No interview. 

Don’t feel bad, I got one too! I checked it and it was from someone in March 2021. I guess the system had a glitch. Got a bit excited, but was very weary of it being true.

Well I've never gotten this vefore! Usually there is a date which is always changing, then this morning i get this "congrats you were approved" in my estimate. I got excited for a second so checked uscis. Nope. Still says "ready ro be scheduled"

My case switched from ready to schedule interview to approved as of yesterday! Which is great but terribly confusing, id been prepping things for the interview since Feb but I guess they decided it was no longer needed? 
 
 

Yes, we did submit a lot of similar information. I know! It is definitely repetitive! But hey...last hump until citizenship! 

FYI : 
USCIS Implements Risk-Based Approach for Conditional Permanent Resident Interviews
Release Date 04/07/2022 WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced a policy update to adopt a risk-based approach when waiving interviews for conditional permanent residents (CPR) who have filed a petition to remove the conditions on their permanent resident status.
Effective immediately, new criteria will guide USCIS officers on when to waive interviews for CPRs who filed a Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. This update replaces previous agency guidance that required all CPRs to undergo an interview if they obtained CPR status via consular processing.
“Implementing a risk-based strategic approach to the CPR-interview process will increase efficiencies that improve processing times, allow for a better use of agency staffing resources, and help reduce the pending caseload while still maintaining procedures to identify fraud and protect national security,” said USCIS Director Ur M. Jaddou. “This update is consistent with agency priorities to break down barriers in the immigration system, eliminate undue burdens on those seeking benefits, and effectively respond to stakeholder feedback and public concerns.”
Prior policy requiring mandatory CPR interviews did not prove to be an efficient use of USCIS staffing resources. Under this policy update, USCIS may waive the interview requirement if the agency officer determines there is sufficient evidence about the bona fides of the marriage, the joint-filing requirement is eligible for a waiver (if applicable), there is no indication of fraud or misrepresentation in supporting documents, there are no complex facts or issues to resolve, and there is no criminal history that would render the CPR removable.
A noncitizen who obtains permanent resident status based on a marriage that began less than two years before obtaining that status receives permanent resident status on a conditional basis for two years. To remove the conditions on permanent resident status, family-based CPRs generally must file a Form I-751 within the 90-day period before the two-year anniversary of when they obtained CPR status.

Received date is 5/28/21 and Notice date says 06/04/21 wasn’t sure which group I belong so I am in both May and June group.
 
How long does it take from the interview scheduled  notice to get the actual interview date?

You will get a letter when they actually schedule the interview. At that point status would change to interview scheduled. 

Filed in June. MSc case number. Received letter for case is ready to be scheduled for interview. Any idea how long it will take for interview date? Is there any chance that interview might be waived off? 

USPS lost my package so I waited for about 2 weeks and resubmitted with Fedex yesterday. I'll keep you all posted when I have any updates. Thanks
