Congratulations! 

I am sorry to hear that. Have they provided you any update on your I-751 status? 

You should call them and talk to tier 2 officer.  See what they say 

That's really frustrating.  16 months are too far away . They just dont give priority to these cases . I heard I 751 is not a high priority application 

Nothing is perfect, but the "if you don't like it here/if you don't like the way we do things, then go back" attitude is really a nasty and nonconstructive dialogue stopper. Not just USCIS, but in many cases immigrants have to hear it and accept that they can't really do anything to change anything. People don't like change, even if it makes things easier. Tbh, one big reason I sent in the N400 application is because I want to vote. Instead of being thwarted into passive compliance I want to vote to have my voice heard. 

The interview was a repeat of our first GC, however this time the IO took me in first (US Citizen). He asked me how we met, Where have you traveled together, Has she met my family, those type questions. He took some recent photos, and our tax records I brought along. My interview was about 20 minutes. He this sent me back to waiting area and my wife went back (GC holder). He asked her the same questions, told her she was approved. Then they went into the N-400 interview. Asked her 6 questions from civics question pool. She got all them right. Then she had to read a simple English sentence, and write a English sentence on a IPOD device. She had about a 40 minute interview. He told her that she passed the N-400.
 
We are now waiting for Oath appointment. IO said it could be up to 45 days, depends on the scheduler. We should get another letter in the mail for that appointment.
 
I can say the the guides from this website are awesome. I provided everything the guides listed at each step of the way in our immigration process. Also read the instructions for each form slowly and carefully. Provide everything they request. Tell the truth and try to relax at the interviews. The IO can spot BS or a fake relationship quickly. The whole process is about time and money. Have patience, and keep moving on with life.

Yesterday 5/22 we had our I-751 interview and passed everything, and at same time N-400. All stages passed! Woot woot. Now waiting for Oath to be scheduled.

Dave- I am also Philadelphia local office- online application.  Interview letter appeared in online document in two days and got  mailed copy in five days.  Applied Nov 25, 2018 ( N-400), still pending I-751 ( Nov 27, 2017).  No mention of combo interview.  Interview June 28, 2019 for N-400.  So you will get one and half months before your interview to prepare and ask for your I-751 situation.

My interview will be on June 5, 2019! Will share my experience once it's over. 

30 days before extension expires, you need to schedule an info pass appointment and go stamp your passport in your local office. If case is pending more than the processing time in california service center, you can also submit a inquiry that case is out of processions time.  

You can of course call to inquire, but I don’t think there is any expedite route.
 
If you move, make sure you and the sponsor(s) file the appropriate change of address.  I also think it would be helpful in that case to make an infopass appointment to have someone physically change the address on the file to ensure it is completed.  The other safety net would be the USPS mail forward.  I moved after AoS but before RoC - they sent the reminder to the old address, but it was forwarded to me at my new address.

My I-751 was received on October 11, 2017, and it was proceeding smoothly. Then, on February 27, 2018, it was transferred to the local field office for final adjudication. However, according to the most recent processing report from the California Service Center, which was processing the case originally, the application should have been adjudicated by now.

I was wondering if there is anyone having a similar experience. My Permanent Resident Card is expired and the only proof of my legal status is the extension notification. I'm concerned because the extension expires in a few months.
