Finally I'm done. My oath is scheduled for end of this month. Feels like a heavy burden that had been weighing down on me for years, has finally been lifted.

Finally got notice of interview today for July 29 at Dallas field office. This happened 10 days after USCIS replied to my representative stating they have requested my A file. Applied I-751 on 05/19 and N-400 on 09/20.

In 3 weeks I will be waiting 37 months for I-751 and 24 months for N-400. My field location is San Francisco. I looked in processing time which moved from 36 months to and extra week and now moved additional 3 weeks. This is really frustrating especially when they mention 80% of I-751 is processed in 31 months. Our case is not complicated and we have strong evidence and no idea why they can't consider waiving the interview or schedule ASAP.

I feel the same. My case is not complicated, I sent plenty of evidence. Yet they are taking forever. I did reach out to my representative when my N-400 became outside regular processing time. The reply from the Dallas office congressional liaison was to wait 90 business days. That puts me at sometime in Aug when I can inquire through my representative again. This is effing ridiculous. 

Anyone still left in this group waiting for their I-751 interview? I'm at 37 months for my I-751 and 21 months for my N-400 application.

Did you file the FOIA? A lot of people have had really good luck with that. Many people who filed their N-400 in the spring of 2020 had their files sent to an off-site storage/records center, and they have been stuck there since. Once they realized filing a FOIA helped, a ton of people started doing the same and the majority seems to have gotten their interview dates shortly there after. 

There's a whole Facebook group about it as well: https://www.facebook.com/groups/517983782770173/

yep. did that too. I'm just having extreme bad luck with USCIS

 sorry that you have been waiting. Have you tried scheduling an infopass and submitting an e-request based on your case being outside normal processing times?

I've tried everything.

Went to infopass in December for I-551 stamp and asked the agent why it was taking so long for my N-400. She tried to schedule me for an interview but wasn't able to and told me to wait for my turn and that I should be getting an interview soon. It's been more than 4 months since that.

Submitted outside of regular processing time for my N-400, request was forwarded to Dallas field office. The reply from the field office was the same, wait for your interview

Contacted US representative. USCIS replied to wait additional 90 business days. At that time my N-400 would be 4 months outside processing time.

Contacted ombudsman - no reply. 

I really wish there was a way to at least get an answer as to why my case is taking so much longer than anyone else.

Is everyone in this forum done with their I-751? I'm at 34 months of waiting for I-751 and 20 months of N-400. Only option for me now seems like a Writ of Mandamus lawsuit against USCIS.

hi everyone, are there anyone with status stuck at "fingerprints taken" 

 

or n400 with pending i751?

Yes, I'm still waiting on my I-751 and N-400. My case status is still at "Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Sent"

My case is now outside normal processing time. Already did FOIA back in december with no help. Now I've written to my representative, ombudsman and requested tier 2 callback from uscis. Hoping one of those 3 can get the ball rolling.

Yes. I'll to that tonight when I get home. Thank you so much for the information!

 

Did you submit a FOIA request and did it help any?

I did submit a FOIA and no it didn't help move my case. However, the documents I received from my FOIA request do show status of my N400 saying something along the lines that application cannot be adjudicated pending I-751. As a result I've come to terms that it's gonna take a while for my case to move. I've stopped checking my USCIS account everyday hoping a miracle happens and my interview notice is there.

Is that for I-751 or N-400 or both?

N-400 mostly. Though I'm sure there must be some in similar situation to us(I-751 and N-400 pending) who got their interview after submitting a FOIA request. Remember to request your entire A-file when you submit the request.

We contacted our Senator, but nothing came about from that. Tell me more about a FOIA request?

Checkout the N400 may 2020 forum thread for detailed information. In short it's basically for people whose cases are stuck because of their A files being stored in caves and not being accessible due to pandemic. Submitting a FOIA request forces them to retrieve the file. And as a result a lot of people got their interviews scheduled after requesting their A file.

Where is your field office, and did you have any RFE’s?  

Originally it was Newark, but then I moved to Dallas last year. I didn't get any RFE. It's been in "ready to be scheduled for interview" status since November 2019. My N-400 is 10 days away from being outside normal processing time. Hoping my representative or Senator might be able to help me then

I wish to also report, that after 955 days my case was approved. Its been one long, tiresome process. Congrats to everyone here so far. To the ones that have not yet heard anything, hold the faith.  It looks as though they are wrapping up may 2019 filers.

Congratulations! Anyone here still waiting for an interview like me?

My FOIA is complete. No interview though. This is so frustrating.

Same here. FOIA jumped from step 3 to step 5 complete this morning. Nothing in the documents tab. No interview either.

Same here. Filed 12/13 and currently in stage 2, place in queue about 8000 out of 16160.

Anyone still waiting for their interview to be scheduled?

Yes, I got the same letter after I filed and mine was placed in the complex track too, but it still moved quickly to step 3. 

I filed on 12/13 and still stuck on step 2.
