Your letter must be on its way. We received ours yesterday - we filed April 2021 and already have a collection of extension letters-. 😁

Pretty amazed it all went so smoothly! Congratulations! And the whole thing will make the trip even more memorable.

Curious as to how they were able to reschedule so soon. Maybe a cancellation? And, how it went?

USCIS as a whole is well aware of its flaws. There plenty of publicly available reports and audits that describe in full detail where the problems are and how could they improve. We can safely conclude based on the increasing waiting times, that those issues have not being fixed. Take in account that USCIS is a mix of employees, contractors and software that are not always in direct communication. You just said it yourself: "the unlucky ones". Being processed faster, your case being placed with an efficient officer, are all a matter of luck.

Fortunately in your case it won't be necessary as 48 months extensions have been mailed already. Hope beggining of next year they start mailing the 120 months extensions. 😆

You can also wait until the N-400 interview date, bring the I-751 appointment letter, ask about why it was sent and if necessary, request for both interviews to be held that day. And as an additional note, you have the right to request for a supervisor after your interview.

If I remember correctly we all exchanged numbers before our farewell. I just didn't care about keeping in touch. 😆😁 They didn't date but this friend is a confirmed Casanova.

On the train to Linate Airport an Argentinian friend and I started talking to an Italian girl that was returning to NYC after visiting her mom in Milan. For some reason during the conversation we asked at what time her plane would depart and arrive to destination but the times she gave us seemed quite off so we asked: Are you sure? She then checked her flight information and immediately called her mum screaming and almost crying: "Mamma! L'ho sbagliato, l'ho sbagliato!" She messed up the times and thought she was departing at 4pm and arriving at 1pm when in reality it was the other way around. It was way past 12 when we were on the train. As soon as the train arrived to the airport we all ran towards her airline counter to check if she could make it but obviously she didn't. She stayed there sorting it out while we went onto dealing with our own check-in process. Once finished we met her again around the gates area; she obviously had to buy another ticket and would fly that same day a few hours later. We wished each other good luck, hugged and said our goodbyes. A year and a half later I received a random voice message from the Argentinian friend I was traveling with. It was not his voice but a woman's one saying they were missing me. Turns out my friend kept in touch with the Italian girl we met on the train and eventually visited her in NYC.
