My case just got updated to "New Card is Being Produced". No RFE, no interview. I'm so happy and relieved.
 
To anyone still waiting, I hope you get approved soon. 🙏🙏🙏

Best of luck!  Keep us posted.

I just submitted my n400 and have a pending Potomac ROC application. Things seem smooth so far, biometrics reused and a 10 month estimated approval timeline. Let’s see what happens. 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Such a great way to end 2023.

Hi All,
 
We had our N400 interview on Oct. 23 and it was just an N400 interview with an update that my wife's I-751 will be approved in 2 weeks and N-400 is reccommended for approval. The following days, we received two updates that our case has been transferred and then transfer again to our local office (which is apparently the norm when it comes to N-400 combo). On 11-6, we received an update that our I-751 GC is in production and she has been placed in line for Oath. Following day, we received the date for her oath and I-751 was approved concurrently. Thankful for this process almost coming to an end. Oath ceremony is on December 2nd. 
 
PS:
 
We did not have a combo interview. She went in alone for her N-400 interview.

I hear you, I just think the N400 might give it a nudge.

I didn't say the N400 would delay it.  I was saying that the 751 would delay the N400.
 
Honestly, it is a 50/50 chance - as usual.

I do not state my point of view as absolute truth.

My only concern is that during a move, my case could NOT be as readily available as it was before.  Thus, to get the physical case transferred over to my local office (because it is pending at the time I file N400), is probably going to take longer than what is normally taking for others when they submit the N400 with a pending 751.  A N400 case will not get approved with a pending 751.  Thus, if they can't find the file, the case will linger until they do.

It is ridiculous.  To me, a case like yours should have been approved by now, especially with a move coming.  We are definitely not going to file N400 now.  We have several reasons not to do it, but this one just adds one more.  I don't know where our physical file will end up and rushing to do N400 might still get both stuck if they can't even find the 751. LOL

It looks like we will be pursuing ADIT stamp in 2024. 🤣

New update:
 

 
So, even less hope to get approved any time soon.  Also, there are probably going to be cases that will be lost.  Hooray!

And things at SRC will slow down even more...

Sadly, it will happen more and more, which is why I was complaining before. LOL

Don't get me wrong, I am happy for those that are approved and I would love to be approved soon.  But, I don't think it is fair that they are using the LIFO approach.  I get approving cases for other circumstances such as the military, etc.  But, I know that not all those approvals are special cases, they are in fact the LIFO approach.

I don't think it will happen, but I am intrigued to see if we get approved sooner rather than later (we are a September 2022 filer so closer to the recent December 2022 and January 2023 approvals).  Mainly, just to prove that they are applying this approach.

Of course, more than anything, I hope those before us get approved sooner and before us because it is the FAIR thing to do.

I never changed my name - no issues at all.  My husband and I are in the ROC stage and that has never been a red flag.  USCIS understands that people have personal preferences to keeping their last names.

It is literally the process they are using (LIFO).  So, it is a fact (more than hope) that you will be approved before us (September 2022) and older cases.

To give you some perspective, there have only been 10 cases approved out of my block versus your 38. LOL

Wow... Now a case from February of 2023 just got approved - https://www.casestatusext.com/cases/YSC2390027953

Today is one of those days that I am so over waiting for this BS...

Sadly, if they are working backwards because of LIFO, we could see this happening more and more where some cases from late 2022 could start getting approvals prior to the old ones from 2020 and 2021, which sucks.

I hope you get yours any minute.  You are close enough to their ridiculous processing times. LOL

Same 😭

Greenbaum has been gone for ages, too.

Word is that something upset him and he left.
