@Markee! Congratulations!!!!  You are finished!! We hope to get my husband’s US Passport soon afterwards, then will start on mom’s petition

Thanks! Not really, since my field is cybersecurity and I still have Russian citizenship. I almost applied to some government agency, but was told to give give up my Russian citizenship,  I don’t think I’m going to do 

Had my Oath Ceremony today. Can’t believe my immigration process is finally over. I am officially a U.S. citizen! (Should I mention I never received 2ns GC)

I think I feel empty inside because I got to use living with everyday checking status/mail/etc. I’m even not sure how to live without it lol

I want to thank everyone of you for your advices and support! I wish you all go over it very soon. Patience and good luck to you all! 

Thanks VJ!

Congrats! Where is your field office?

Thanks! It’s El Paso, Texas.

When I applied it was showing 14 months..took 3 months excluding Oath Ceremony. 

Yesterday I got my ROC approval during citizenship n400 interview

Waiting for Oath date now  🤗

Thank you, guys, very much! 

My interview went very good and I got approved on both-  I-751 and n400

Even though I wasn’t notified about combo interview, and  my status showed my ROC case was at CSC, physically it was in officer’s table. I can tell because I saw the original boarding passes of our trip to Russia that we submitted with my I-751. 

He said that the legal date when I bacame a candidate for citizenship started 6 days ago (March,22th was exactly 3 years from my residence since date) and it was the closest one that he ever seen lol 

He didn’t ask for any single document, just went over my case, asking some questions from the forms. My husband stayed with me for the entire interview, including civic test. 

My N400 status changed to the “Oath ceremony will be scheduled” and my ROC status changed to “Date of Birth was updated”.

I can say that applying for N400 was very smart decision in my case. 

Good luck to you all! 

Hi guys. 

Today is my N400 interview. My ROC status still shows it’s in CSC, nothing is new. 

Lets see what is going to happen today at the interview. “Challenge accepted” (c)

How many of you have had your status changed after you applied for N400?

How many of you still have "local office"?

Can we please hear from the longer waiting i-751? How many of us here are 20+ months?

 

Does anybody have any idea when I should expect to get any kind of update whatsoever? I'd take anything at this point..a transfer, an rfe, combo interview..

 

Y'all think it may extend into 2020? I was on the Dec 2017 N400 and a lot of them are still waiting..

We never know what to expect..

in 2 days I’m having N400 interview, but my I-751 wasn’t transferred neither to Local office,  nor to Nebraska. 

According to the status, it was transferred from CSC to CSC on June2018, that’s it. 

I have no idea what to expect from my N400 if my case still remains in CSC  

I am a December 2017 filler for ROC, and applied for N400 on December 2018

I just talked to an IO and he told me that my case was transferred to my local service center Kansas city which my N-400 is already there.  I'm now expecting for sure Combo interview.

How did you reach IO? I tried, but unsuccessful..

My case just transferred AGAIN for the second time  "On March 14 your form I-751 Case Transferred And New Office Has Jurisdiction" , I have N-400 interview next week so I am assuming they transferred to my local service center, but who knows  

 

WAC1807XXXXXX

I think so! Keep us updated, please. (Mine still remains at CSC, btw)

Good Day!! Just want to update  my status..

 

Filed my N 400 ( 12/15/2018)  while I 751 ( NOA  12/13/2017)  is pending (WAC18075  with Transferred to another office on June 18 2017status)   . I had my interview today and happy to note that my 1-751 file is with the CO and yes, it was a combo interview ( my interview  notice was only for N-400). 

My husband and I were called together , asked for our ID's , my GC and passport. Then confirmed our address , it was a cordial conversation like we were asked if we took a vacation etc  . Then the CO told my husband he can leave so she can move on to my N400 interview. 

CO asked me to confirm if my name, date of birth and mailing address  is written correctly  . Then she asked  4  civic questions and told me to  write a short sentence and that was it.  She told me that my 10 year green card will be produced and take it with me on my oath taking. I asked if I can hug her and she said yes. 

 

I will update my timeline once I get an updated status.

 

It has been a long journey and I am thankful, grateful ...and its really true that prayer works!! 

 

I hope this will give a sign of relief to those who are still waiting that it will eventually happen..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh that’s cool! Congratulations! Since I’m in exactly in the same situation (case transferred on June 18 status), and I’m having my citizenship interview in 2 weeks,  I am million times happier for you!

I hope I will get combo as well!

Mine is WAC18080*. When did you file for N400?

December, 24th.

Hello everybody!

 

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I would like to do the same, so we can update each other accordingly as we go to our 15 months of waiting. 

 

 I am a December 2017 filer. I filed on 12/19/2017. I have not received any appointment letter for biometerics. I've contacted them two times and they told me, if it's needed, we will let you know. 

On June 18, 2018 my case was transferred to CSC. In July 2018, I moved to another State. In August 2018, I received the 18 month extension letter at my new address. In October 2018, I received another letter similar to the August letter, mentioning the 18 month extension again. Since June 2018, there has not been any movements in my case. I have not received any RFE letter and have not filed for N400 yet. 

Let me guess.. your WAC is close to WAC18089* ?

mine also was transferred on June,18th to CSC and no movement since then.

I’m having citizenship interview next month, though.

That why I wonder if that “NBC” on NOA letter means they transferred the case? And didn’t send notification about it?

 

Do you think you could call them and ask about the pending ROC, since you have scheduled interview? 

I would not even think they are related. Its N400 biometrics, and even without pending ROC, it can be NBC. But that’s how I understand, plus I researched a little bit just now. Nothing seems odd to me. 

1 hour ago, Dzenana said:

Thank you for you reply @Markeee! I don’t know if my case (or both cases) is transferred to NBC or no? What are your last updates on both cases?

They scheduled my citizenship interview in one month. Doesn’t say if it’s combo.. And  I have no idea what’s with my ROC since it’s still in CSC, at least what status shows. They haven’t moved it to Nebraska or local office.. so I actually don’t know what to think either. I will wait a little bit and then will try to call them. I just don’t want officer to be surprised when I go to interview with pending Roc

I applied for N400 on Jan 2nd. I did my biometrics.

On that biometrics NOA it has a box for “service center” and it says “NBC”. I didn’t get any update about my pending I751 since March2018, not my N400 , there hasn’t been any transfer as far as I know. 

Anyone has the same case?

Yes. Just like mine. What exactly are you worried about?

Hey,everyone! I recently submitted a service request and I got a reply today. It says "your form i-751 and form n-400 are currently pending and will be adjudicated at the same time. " There hasnt been an update since it was transferred on Dec 21st. did anyone receive such reply and if so how long did it take for the interview to be scheduled ? My extension expires in april and my local office is 3,5 hours away. Not looking forward to drive 7 hours in total with a toddler to get a stamp. Thanks in advance!

It’s definitely depends on your local office’s processing time. But i will tell you more, the real processing time for n400 doesn’t much with what they show you online (it’s much faster). I received an invitation for interview in one month after biometrics, but it really varies.  

Hey, I have a question.  Based on what did you submit service request? Because Your ROC is out of processing time? 

Ok guys, I think I start freaking out! 

My citizenship interview is in one month, my ROC case remains in CSC. Should not have they transfer it already to somewhere like Nebraska or local office? 🤔 

WAC18089 Is like a hole.. no any movements

FInally a US citizen today. Wishing everyone still going through this all the best. 

Congrats!! 

Quick question..was your ROC case transferred anywhere before n400 interview? What was your case status  before an interview? Received/new office has jurisdiction/local office/transferred ? 

Just now, Dantrolene said:

So is that interview for n400? And how come you got one really fast in 3 months period ? Here in Seattle it takes 13 months to get an interview.  What office area you applied to?

Yes. But I’m planning to call and ask where my ROC case is and tell them about my N400 interview coming, if I ever reach tier2, of course.,

When I applied for N400, it showed 14 months for processing time online(now 12), but when I went to biometrics, officer told me it was not true, that entire process takes 3-5 months in this office. Looks like he was not lying..I hope everything goes well.. El Paso, Texas

Wow..congrats on the fast move and getting interview. When is your interview scheduled?

Thanks! March , 26th

no single word about combo interview in the letter, btw  

Hi, 

I applied for N-400 on late December 2018. Today I received status update that my interview was scheduled, which makes me very happy, of course. But what makes me worried is that my i751 is still at CSC without any moves or transfers.

Is that even OK? Because from what I have seen they transfer cases to Nebraska after applying for N400...but not mine. 

Anyone else with similar situation ? 

Hey guys! Good news for me today. The citizenship interview was scheduled (I applied 1.5 months ago) online processing time shows 14 months, though. 

Nothing about my ROC yet. I will call USCIS in a week I guess to ask if they will transfer my roc case

I have waited for my biometrics since December 2017 lol  

1 hour ago, Tar999 said:

Thanks, however, is it not a better idea to apply for N400 as soon as you are eligible if citizenship is the end goal?  I know it 'might' take longer for I751 to be adjudicated but you also save time that you would lose if you simply wait for the I751 to go through.  Of note, some people have been waiting for 18 months (or more) for their I751.

It depends on your luck. There are a lot of people in this forum who applied for citizenship and it didn’t affect their ROC at all. While waiting for citizenship interview, they received their 10y green cards. 

Since my goal was citizenship, I , personally, applied as soon as I became eligible. My office shows 12+ months for the process, but when I was on biometrics, the officer told me it was not correct, and that in my office everyone gets citizenship within 3-5 months.  I haven’t received my GC yet, but neither did anyone from my case number range..

so yes, even if I’m not lucky, and applying for N400 will affect my ROC time, I’m ok to live a little bit longer with extension letter. I just want all this immigration process to be over already. 

December filler, took my citizenship biometrics one month ago.. waiting for interview to be scheduled.
