With name change request, she need to have Judicial Oath ceremony right?

Is she taking regular USCIS oath ceremony with name change request?

She waived her name change so that she could take the oath today

Updated timeline for us:

 

August 2020: Filed I-751

November 2020: I-751 transferred to NBC

July 2021: Filed N-400 in Atlanta

April 2021: file a FOIA request to find out why the I-751 hasn't moved and request copy of N-400 file

June 2, 2022: Interview scheduled for N-400 for July 14, 2022

~June 10, 2022: I wrote a letter to Atlanta FO asking that N-400 and I-751 be a combo interview

June 28, 2022: FOIA completed, documents provided to us

July 2, 2022: Received notice that I-751 and N-400 will be the same date and time

 

My wife is changing her name so I think she will have to take oath in front of a judge. According to the northern district of Georgia's website, there are oath ceremonies August 12 and August 26, so hopefully we are under 2 months away from being completely finished

So my wife’s long journey comes to an end foday

She passed her citizenship and I-751 was approved. We asked for same day oath and they have one today! Going back at 1130 to take the oath

How long did it take to receive a notification for your i-751 that it's been transferred to another office to process with n-400?

 

I filed n-400 two weeks ago and my pending i-751 still pending and no notification about transferring

 

Is it possible that i-751 will be approved before n-400?

We filed for N-400 in July 2021. We still don't have an update on I-751 since it was transferred to NBC in November 2020.

I filed a FOIA request on both the N-400 and I-751 on April 26, 2022 and we received my wife's interview notice for N-400 on May 2nd. FOIA was completed this morning. Still no notifications on I-751

Has anyone had success filing a FOIA request related to a very out of time I-751? Does anyone know how to cancel?

We filed in August 2020 and no movement since. I filed an out of time request and there was no response. Filed N-400 in July 2021.

I filed a FOIA request in April and it had an estimated completion date of June 8, 2022. On June 2, 2022 we got my wife's N-400 scheduled for interview for July 14, 2022. 

Well we were already near the queue of the FOIA request so I figured why not see it through to completion. We were up to approximately 150th in queue and it kept kicking us to a later completion date. Finally June 15 came and went and they began moving us down the queue. We are now 1500th place in the queue with an estimated completion date of the already passed June 16th. 

So we have the N-400 scheduled. I want to just cncel. I dont want anything to get in the way of the July 14th interview (potential that the files dont get transferred to our field office). But there's nothing online about how to cancel. The FOIA email account stopped responding to me when I asked how to cancel. Calling they will not put you through to an agent regarding FOIA.

Our status is the following so I'm wondering if I can't stop it now that they've already pulled the docs: Case in Process-

After our combo interview on May 16th in Sacramento for our i751 ROC case we got a notice of approval today.

Both our natulzation and our ROC cases have been approved and we are awaiting the oath ceremony to be scheduled.

 

Not expecting a new 10 year green card due to the pending oath ceremony.

 

18 plus months since the case was moved to the NBC from the California Service Center to get approval and 25 months overall.

Did they tell you ahead of time that it was a combo interview? My wife got her N400 interview notice for next month, but the I-751 is still stuck on 

Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction

Hi my oath ceremony is at the same building, I also had a green card renewal pending , but it became obsolete after I passed the citizenship test. The officer never mentioned it at all.

Interesting, thanks

I was under the impression they had to approve the I-751 before you became a citizen, even if it's just them checking that box

Maybe they checked the box for you

Just had i interview, lasted about 10 mins including questions and test. Very nice officer...I looked online at my account and they have already mailed a oath ceremony date for June 24 . This was Atlanta office , I filed in Oct 2020. 

Is family allowed at Oath ? It will be in Atlanta, thx

where is your oath ceremony?

We got notice last week that my wife's interview is set for July 14. She still has a pending I-751 and we didnt get any word on that, so I hope they do the interview together.

thanks, we did a FOIA request and they project an answer by June 8

 

we will see

Update: today we got notice that my wife’s N400 is scheduled for July 14. No word on I-751, thinking I’ll call USCIS tomorrow to see if it will be a combo interview 

On 6/1/2022 at 4:03 PM, jakelake said:

Interview was not waived. It was done as a combo with the N-400. 

The field office is New York City.

I actually found out tonight that my wife’s interview for N-400 was set for July 14

did you get a notice of it being a combo interview? It appears we’re only getting interview notice for N400

gotcha, we filed I751 in August 2020 and N400 in July 2021

I-751 sent to national benefits in November 2020

I filed foia just after filing my n400 in March. I submitted FOIA 3/13 and it completed 5/19. It really does take a long time. Still waiting for my i751 and N400 interview even after my FOIA has been completed. No guarantees it helps but worth every try 

no movement whatsoever after complete?

WHen did you file I751 and N400?

We filed in August 2020, transferred to national in November 2020, no news since

incredibly frustrating

filed for N400 in July 2021, nothing there either except actively being reviewed as of August 

filed a FOIA request on April 26, they've received the files but it says expected to be produced to us June 10th 

thanks, we did a FOIA request and they project an answer by June 8

we will see

Hi All! Had my interview on April 20th! Got approval, and oath ceremony was last Friday May 13! I am officially a US Citizen 🙏🏼
what is next?

Are you all applying for something else?

What was your ROC like?

If you recall our cases were similar, filed for N400 in late July in Atlanta for my Colombian wife

However we haven't heard anything and the ROC is still pending with no movement since late 2020

Filed FOIA request on April 26

Finally got a response to that assigning a number

USCIS processes FOIA requests according to their order of receipt. Although USCIS’ goal is to respond
within 20 business days of receipt of your request, FOIA does permit a 10-day extension of this time
period in certain circumstances. Due to the increasing number of FOIA requests received by this office,
we may encounter some delay in processing your request. Additionally, due to the scope and nature of
your request, USCIS will need to locate, compile, and review responsive records from multiple offices,
both at headquarters and in the field. USCIS may also need to consult with another agency or other
component of the Department of Homeland Security that have a substantial interest in the responsive
information. Due to these unusual circumstances, USCIS will invoke a 10-day extension for your request
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(B). Please contact our office if you would like to limit the scope of your

100 copies and two hours of search time are not charged, and the remaining combined charges for search

fees; however, if fees in excess of $25.00 are required, we will notify you beforehand.

Is it dated 12/14 ? I also got notification. No status change updates. Probably mailing 24mo extension letters.

yes, that was my presumption as well

Do people receive updates on the USCIS website when a new extension letter is mailed? We are receiving something from USCIS today according to informed delivery, but don't have any change to my wife's 751 or N400, I presume it's the extension letter
