My status is fingerprint was taken. I feel like maybe applying for citizenship slows down my case. Now I can’t get my 10 years green card in 2 years. Everything is so slow. Very frustrating!!

Is it I751 status or N400 status?

When did you file the N400?

I’m not exactly sure about the N400 process, but based on some other N400 filers posted, they should be reviewing both of your applications together and most likely will schedule you a combo interview, which means you won’t be getting the 10 yr green card, instead you’ll become citizen directly if you pass the interview. 

You can check the processing time here:

 From what I’ve seen, the processing time for N400 varies greatly between different field offices.

Did you apply for N400? My case is still in NBC and no update. It is 22 months and nothing. 

No, I didn’t. Mine took about 24 months for the entire process. Stuck with “Ready to be scheduled for interview” for 15 months.

What’s your case status?

Did you get an approval letter before you found out online you were approved? My hubs has been ready to schedule interview since 2019 and in our mail app i see hes getting a letter from NBC today. Thats the first contact weve had since his original extension letter. 

I did get an Approval Letter but it was after I found out my case was approved online. They updated the status to ”Case Approved” and sent the letter on the same day. I think it could be the 48 month letter too. 

Just received my 10-year Green card today. Here is the timeline of my case:

02/01/2021     Case Received by USCIS 

03/08/2021     I-797 NOA Letter Received 

08/27/2021     Biometric Appointment Done 

11/10/2021     Case Ready To Be Scheduled For Interview 

12/13/2021     24 Month Letter Received 

01/24/2023     Called USCIS For I-551 Stamp

01/25/2023     Missed 1st Attempt Call (They left voice message saying they will call me again, but I didn’t get any calls from them since then.)

02/18/2023     New Card Is Being Produced 

02/21/2023     Case Approval Notice Sent

02/24/2023     Card Was Mailed to Me 

02/25/2023     Card Was Delivered/48 Month Letter Delivered too

Field Office: Orlando

Receipt Number Starts With MSC

Seems like interview waiving is happening. I’m not sure if me calling them to request the stamp has anything to do with triggering the process moving forward or not. I do find it a bit strange that they sent me the 48 month letter at same time with green card. 
Waiting for sure gets frustrating sometimes. I hope this helps a little bit and gives whoever in the same situation some hope.

No - you will still be in status when your 24 month extension expires, you just can't travel until you receive the new 48 month letter. Some folks who get the ADIT stamp have their green card taken away, so if I was you my preference would be to wait for the 48 month letter and keep your expired GC.

Thank you! I will wait for the 48 month letter.

You will NOT lose legal status when your extension letter expires.  If you need evidence of status, you can get an ADIT stamp.

Thank you!

My I-751 is still pending, and my 24month extension will expire soon, do I need to get the I-551 stamp before I receive the 48 month extension letter? Will I lose my legal status if the 24 month extension expires and I don’t have the temporary evidence stamp?? 
Thank you in advance!
