I-751 January Filers, 2013

[jvemmy0506 3]

Congratulations Nana098. I hope your process is going to speed up from now on.

Hi All,

We're still waiting for my I-751 to be approved and my extension letter expires January 28th (timeline below with delay details). It's getting ridiculous we don't even know what the hold up is. Is anyone else still waiting ??

We've contacted our congressman and his office said they contacted USCIS (this was in early December) and all they said was 'It's assigned to someone who will be looking at it soon"...really? is that all we can get. What next, what other options do we have? I'm starting a new job on February 25th and they're asking me for valid verifications of my permanent residency, but my extension letter expires January 28th. What do I need to do in the interim, if I still don't have my new green card by then?

Can anyone with similar experience please advise us Im really frustrated and it would be so disappointing if I lose this job over something beyond my control.

Take an Infopass and get your passport stamped with another extension (I guess it will be 6 months) and hopefully you will get your approval soon.

Call USCIS asap! and ask for a tier 2, explain you case and put a service request. They helped me, now I'm waiting for an interview on January 27. During all process I called USCIS over and over because my file was delayed.

File the N-400 for citizenship to force them to work on the ROC.

Good luck,

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I did make an infopass and also submit a request through the Ombudsman- and lo and behold FINALLY checked update on USCIS and it says "On January 15, 2014, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you

I think it was the Ombudsmen to be honest, because nothing else prior to that worked. Hope that means it's the end of this ordeal-No more interviews, or RFE's...card in production/approved right ? Last time I had my 'card in production' status, I had my green card in hand within a week. Fingers crossed.

Will definitely follow through with N-400 end of the month, since these delays are quite insane.

Good luck to those still waiting...and do try the Ombudsman route! It worked for us.

Congratulations!!! Hopefully your status has changed to "We have shipped your GC" and you also get the tracking number and your GC is on its way.

Well guys here we go!
Yesterday we went to the interview at Newark Local Office, our appointment was at 10:30 am. Me, my husband, my older daughter and my little one came around 10:00 o'clock. We passed thru all security point, went to the 14th floor, It was crowded. I gave the appt letter to the receptionist and he said wait until an officer calling you. I don't remember how much time we wait, finally a man called me, we went to his office, we did an oath, and showed our ID and passports and my little one's birth certificate .
He asked a lot of question:
How we met, when, where, who introduced us, when we got married,which kind civil or religious, If we did a party and what place, how many guests, and whom they were, where was our honey moon, how many days, he kept a few pictures of our wedding (I felt in the first interview at Embassy)
He asked if we live together, we have a joint bank account, file joint taxes, how many trips we did since I got my CR, and where, health, car and life insurance... He never looked into the documents and pictures we filed with I-751 form
The interviewer kept our last christmas card, and last bank statements.
He said in three weeks we'll receive a letter with the decision. I hope it doesn't take much longer...

Finally, I got the interview appointment! after many calls USCIS and speak with Tier 2.

Hi Nana098.

I had my biometrics for naturalization (N-400) on the same day (January 27th). Everything went well.

Regarding your interview, I think you guys did well and very soon you'll get a positive news. Best wishes.

[AboSohaila 4]

Hi AboSohaila, I think you are in wrong thread... You are N-400 Jan 2014 filer, right?

Here is ROC Jan 2013 filers thread

[Nana098 18]

Yayyyyyy!!!!!

Finally! I received today a text message with my case updated, and on the web page: "On February 5, 2014, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you."

One year + 3 days took my process, I hope my Naturalization takes the regular time.

[Yurika & Jim 77]

Congrats Nana098 !! Finally! Updating approval Good luck on your N-400
