ET9709 got a reaction from Shawn_Lock in N400 - October 2022 Filers
My immigration journey is over! You can see details on our timeline; here are the highlights of our story:
- I came to the US on a student visa, completed my degree
- Fell in love and got married, applied for I-130 and I-485, got 2 year green card
- Applied for ROC, I-751
- As soon as I was eligible, applied for Naturalization, N-400
- My oath ceremony was today and I couldn’t be happier to be a U.S. citizen
The entire process from green card application to citizenship took a little over 4 years. We did it all it all it without attorneys. While there were frustrations, they were mostly because of the unknowns and all the waiting. In hindsight, it was pretty smooth. USCIS managed my N-400 with a pending I-751 remarkably well. We suffered the same roller coaster emotions many of us have shared on these forums, but looking back, while it was expensive and tedious, it actually worked. It’s hard to trust big, complicated bureaucratic processes. You and others have been so helpful. I learned so much from others’ experiences and treasure the support and guidance from all of you. Visajourney provides valuable information not available through UCIS or attorneys. So, thank you. I will remain on Visajourney to help anyone who can benefit from our experience.

ET9709 got a reaction from OldUser in N-400 and I-751 Combo Pending -- Part 2
This process moved along quickly after the N-400 (no combo) interview. My I-751 was approved 5 days after the interview. My N-400 was approved 2 days later. Case status is now “oath ceremony will be scheduled.” See my timeline for other details.

ET9709 got a reaction from Gaps0214 in N-400 and I-751 Combo Pending -- Part 2
Update - had my N400 interview yesterday. Passes tests but no decision could be made because of pending I-751. So I guess having it transferred didn’t help it get done faster. FO said it would take a few weeks but I’ve seen some, like yours, that took longer after the N400 interview. Thank you for sharing your experience.

ET9709 reacted to PM&MM in n400 interview scheduled, Hartford CT - Questions (repost in correct forum)
Thank you.
Ours was administrative. Oath was administered by a USCIS officer, and no judge was present.
I don't know how frequently the judicial oath are administered.
Ours was scheduled @8am and we were done by 9:30, albeit we hung around a bit longer to take pictures, ask some questions etc. After us, another oath ceremony was scheduled @11 on that same day.
The USCIS official apologized for the lack of pomp and ceremony, but then commented that they are trying to increase throughput as much as possible between same-day oath, other administrative oath, and judicial oath. He did not get into any more detail.

ET9709 got a reaction from Kori-Kosun in N400 - October 2022 Filers
The paper you received at the end of the interview, Form N-652, has the name on the officer who interviewed you at the top of the form. If you look further down the page it says this:
4. Send any questions about your application in writing to the officer named above. Include your full legal name, Alien Registration Number (A-Number), and a copy of your Form N-652.
I would send a letter directly to the officer.
I had my N-400 interview last week with a pending I-751 so a decision could not be made until that was approved. It was approved 5 days later — now i am also waiting for my oath ceremony to be scheduled. If I don’t hear in a few weeks I plan to write a letter to the officer.

sorry, I don't have a solution for this. Just want to send my good luck to you!! I heard the worse is you need to contact your congressman. The best to you!!

ET9709 got a reaction from eatphyllosophical in I-751 September 2021 Filers
I passed my N400 interview today but a decision could not be made because my I-751 which I filed September 2021 is still pending. Anyone else have this happen and if so how long did it take?

ET9709 got a reaction from Olga&Jared in November 2021 ROC Filers
We had similar sequence of status updates:
Filed I-751 9/03/2021
Filed N-400 10/07/2022; fingerprints reused
I-751 transferred on 10/18 and again 10/22/2022; case updated to show fingerprints taken 11/04/2022 (no bio appointment, reused)
Received 48 month extension letter 02/22/2023
No other updates on either case since then.
I’ve seen some posts where the N-400 interview was scheduled before the I-751 was approved, others where the I-751 was approved and new card sent before the N-400 interview. Extension letter was automatic, not based on when interview was scheduled.
Hoping our interview will be scheduled soon.

We just got a 48 month extension letter. Filed ROC September 3, 2021 and N400 October 7, 2022. ROC file was transferred to another jurisdiction shortly after filing N400.

Mail just arrived. It was for the ROC, another extension of my green card for 48 months from the expiration date.

ET9709 got a reaction from Eric&Mirella in I-751 September 2021 Filers
Filed i-751 Sept 3, 2021 and N400 Oct 7, 2022. Last updates were I-751 case was transferred and fingerprints reused. I got a notification from the US post office today that I am getting a letter from USCIS but there has been no case status update online. I’m hoping it’s an N400 interview scheduled and it just hasn’t been updated online yet.

ET9709 reacted to Rearviewmirror in removal of condition- extension letter 48 months
Thanks - yup I know. I was literally one of the last January filers (2023) to get the 24 month letter and hoping I'll get the 48 month one before I have to renew my driving license in a few weeks.
