Thank you! Yes they give you a stylus pen to write the answer on the iPad.

If you ask for tech support it’ll connect you to a person, then you can ask for tier two and a tier 2 agent will call you back within a a few hours or days, they’ll be able to help you.

Yes my friend, almost there, my i751 was transferred to “another jurisdiction” on 10/12-13 and on 10/29 my interview was scheduled for December 12 so you’ll be there soon!! Remember to always check the documents online cause the notices will be there first 🎉

Ok guys this is it! I am officially a US citizen 🎉🎉🎉 oath ceremony took place at the Federal Plaza room 310 at 1 on 1/11, my husband accompanied me but was not allowed into the room, I first made a line where I provided my appointment letter signed and dated, along with my old green card and work permit, they gave me the certificate, checked that everything was correct and then was asked to go into room 300 cause 310 was full, they gave us two envelopes, one with a letter from President Biden congratulating us and the other a USCIS package with instructions on life as a citizen, passport application, national anthem, pledge of allegiance and oath of allegiance and a tiny US flag, after that an officer gave a speech from the other room which we watched on a big screen, we all said the oath in unison, they congratulated us, we cheered and clapped and off we went, they asked us if we wanted to take pictures next to a US flag to go to the second floor and we all did, I waved both of my flags 🇺🇸🇩🇴 and I’m so damn happy and proud to finally being an American, it’s been my dream for as long as I can remember and it finally happened, if anyone would know about my immigration story, they would understand how important this achievement was for me and for all of us immigrants that came to this country full of hopes and dreams that are unfolding for us all. The entire process took about maybe 1/2 hr so it was quick, I took longer dolling up lol I looked like a congresswoman 😁to all of you still waiting I wish nothing but speed and good luck with your new American lives 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 ps: I am learning the lyrics to the national anthem from that uscis pamphlet and will upload it to tiktok, will sing it better than fergie 😬 if you find it you find it 🤭 Good luck amigos 👍🏽 🍀 attached my very last USCIS update 🎉🎉

Hey guys, I noticed I didn’t update this thread however, my i751 was automatically approved after my N400 interview on 12/12, no additional interview needed, my oath ceremony is in a few days which means: I HAVE FINALLY GRADUATED FROM USCIS 🎉🇺🇸 👩🏽‍🎓🇺🇸, to anyone on this thread still waiting, best of luck 🍀🍀🍀

So happy to see everyone will start the new year closing this chapter in our lives 🎉🎉🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Congratulations 🎉 As someone who waited 16 months to get my i751 approved but only cause I applied for citizenship, we’re high key glad that is over for you but low key high key jelly 😁 not having to travel internationally with an array of paperwork is amazing, id assume, I wouldn’t know 😁😁congratulations 🎉

Hey @LizM I know we filed the aos together and here we are at citizenship lol question: you said they approved your i751 at your n400 interview, did you get the 10 yr gc sent? Anybody else? No one on my threads has and I can’t find a thread, I’m asking because I know we have to give up the GCs and work permits at the oath ceremony but am wondering if they’ll send a gc to have to give it back in a few weeks?! Thanks you in advance for your responses 🙏🏽 ps: if your status online says: we mailed you the oath notice, if you go under documents it’ll be there 😉

Did you guys file at 2.9 years or at 3? Idk if it made any difference for me but I waited for the 3 year mark even though I did see ppl who had aos with me who filed at 2.9 and already had their interview and are waiting to be scheduled for oath, so this is totally random, I’m in NY though 🫠

No, he asked about the international trips I’ve taken in the last 5 years which were only two and for less than 15 days in total 💁🏽‍♀️

Thanks and I’m sorry you’re still waiting for your interview, I promise it’ll come soon ✨ my good vibes are out for you and they’re pretty powerful so receive with faith 🌚

You guys!! So I had my n400 interview yesterday, the appointment was at 10.55 am and we got there at 10.12am and by the time we were allowed in and through security it was about 10.30 ish, they called me about 5-10 ish minutes after 10:55, it was pretty light very few people, after the officer sworn me in he asked me to produce my dl, passport, social and gc, verified my info and then we did the civics test, passed, we did the reading and writing and he told me I passed, we did did the yes and no then he asked for the taxes, trips and marriage certificate just because my passport still has maiden name and said that he sees that all the time and I agreed my country makes it really hard to change your name, he actually looked through my i751 packet that was sitting on his desk (all my colored folders were in a huge folder lol), I told him my husband was out there waiting in case we needed another interview for the i751 and he said that he was approving my n400 but he didn’t process i751 so he was going to fwd to his coworker to look at it and approve it but he did want to meet my husband when we were done, he verified the info that is going to appear on my certificate, explained the oath ceremony and said that I was going to be notified as to when the oath ceremony was going to be and where, he walked me out and I called my husband over, coincidentally they grew up in the same neighborhood 🤣 and they had a little chat, shook hands we thanked him for his time and left. About 1/2 hr after we left i751, later that day the n400 went from ‘interview scheduled’ to ‘we recommend for approval’ to ‘we placed you in line for oath’ and this morning it was finally scheduled, I checked online and is in a couple weeks 🎉🎉 this road is finally closed and I’m hysterically happy 🎉🎉 I will come back to update y’all on how everything goes after citizenship and document updates like ssn, dl and finally passport 🤗 I wish you all the best of luck and a speedy process and next 4th of July we can all celebrate this great nation like true Americans 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

That would definitely be some fun small talk with the IO 😁😁 they’d probably ask you when is independence day if they’re fun enough 😁

Of course friend! Let us know if something happens after submitting a cover letter asking for a combo interview 🙏🏽 hopefully that works and you guys can be done with this soon!!

Was your case not moved when you sent the N400? My i751 case was moved a few days after submitting the N400, idk if it helped but under mandatory documents I submitted the expired gc and the extension letter, I also added a cover letter detailing that a i751 was pending and asked for a combo interview 🤷🏽‍♀️ just rolling dice basically 😁 but am remaining positive towards a good outcome, so if you didn’t upload a copy of your extension letter try it, good luck friend 🍀

Mine is 4439 if that helps 😊I also waited the 3 year mark and a couple days, don’t know if that makes a difference 🤔 also @S.E.Z. I’m at NYC FO

✨sending my manifestation vibes all over my VJ friends and declaring that our cases are approved already and next 4th of July we will finally all be true Americans✨citizenship? Already ours, already approved✨have faith and believe it to be already a reality and it’s yours✨🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

His is coming soon too 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Ok guys so again ✨manifesting✨ works!!! On Saturday got an update saying my N400 was scheduled for interview😱😱 I applied on 9/30!!!! I haven’t received the paper copy but check the documents section on Elis and the notice is there with 12/12 date at federal plaza 😭😭😭 this happened so fast my head is still spinning 😵‍💫 but I’m so happy and grateful that this chapter will be over soon🙏🏽 I am again ✨manifesting✨ to become a citizen by the end of 2022 or to the very least beginning of 2023✨ there’s hope you guys!!! I will keep y’all updated, I am aiming towards a combo interview even though will also accept my i751 being approved before my interview of course, that would be amazing✨ good luck with your journeys guys and ✨manifest it all✨

Omg you guys 😱 so on Saturday I received the notification about my N400 interview being scheduled already!!!! I haven’t received the paper notice yet but it just occurred to me to check the document section on Elis and it’s there, is for 12/12 at the Federal Plaza in NYC 😱😱😱 I am ✨manifesting✨ FINALLY becoming a US citizen by the end or at least beginning of the year and FINALLY be done with immigration!!! I am going prepared to do combo interview and possibly oath ceremony that same day!! I’ve been doing mock interviews on YouTube and practiced with some flashcards I got from the library back when I was doing aos lol!! Good luck guys!! I will give you another update once everything is done detailing my experience and once I have completed all the post citizenship must-do tasks, like getting my first US passport 🥺🥺🥺, update SSN (which you must do once you become a citizen) and finally my DL which I will get the enhanced (the one with the US flag on it 🥺) which I have to renew in a few months anyways, I will do my last update on VJ, thank you all and good luck in your journeys 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I’ve had a tourist visa since birth so as soon as I became of age, I’ve known how it works without a paragraph I didn’t even read, should have tagged the person asking maybe? If you ever held a tourist visa for 30 years and 10 of those years as a sensible adult, please share your actual experience staying the entire time given by cbp and also renewing and expired visa right after, I think that would be a great experience to share for when people look for these types of experiences they can find these answers. Thanks.

She should leave today if possible and renew that visa immediately. When I was a tourist I would never let my visa expire or travel on a visa that was about to expire. Also, it is nit recommended to stay the entire time the IO stamps you for cause it could raise red flags next time she comes in. Good luck friend 👍🏽 🍀

Another update to my case today, now it says something about the fingerprints being applied, therefore, I’ll let you guys know when it says “card being produced” which is about to happen any time now because processing times for EAC (Vermont) are becoming due now and if it was transferred to a new jurisdiction with a better workload, we’re getting approved soon✨ I’ll keep y’all posted✨

Did you get the letters yet? I’m ✨manifesting✨ an automatic approval of my i751. I sent substantial evidence, so no rfes and I’m already studying for citizenship, they have mock interviews on YouTube which are very useful and have several apps too, can’t wait for this to be over ✨very soon✨🧘🏽‍♀️✨
