RFE I751, unique condition. please help

[NancyNguyen 1,657]

You need to call them to follow up on the matter, the interview letter might be lost on its way. Otherwise you will be shocked when they send letter of intention to remove or deport due to failure to show up at the interview.

Would it be wise to get the Senators get involved in this matter or should I simply wait for them to send me an interview date? What makes it hard is that the case is transferred to the field office and when I call the national hotline, they do not have any further information.

[Laure&Colin 558]

Did you talk to a tier 2 rep when you called the hotline? The tier 1 reps are pretty useless.

[751 1]

Yes, I called and talked to Tier 2 reps. No help. They told me that all I can do is wait since the case is in jurisdiction of local field office. The waiting game is making me sick though.

We are having the same issue..... We filed in April 2013 to Vermont. Received the same RFE in August 2013 and sent back ALL info requested even though they already had it from the original GC filing. Ours was transferred to the Atlanta Field Office - but we were never informed of that until we did a service request in December 2013. We were told that we would just have to wait until an interview could be scheduled. In March 2014, after hearing NOTHING -- we contacted our Senator and had them do an inquiry. That was a waste of time..... they got the same response that we did -- wait..... We filed another service request in May -- same response. My husband's 1 year extension on his GC ends today, June 16 -- and of course his driver's license expires today as well. On June 11, we once again called and were told that Atlanta is extremely back-logged and that our only option at this point to "speed things up" is to make an Infopass appointment online. We tried numerous times with nothing available -- but being persistent -- finally got one for June 26. When we check our online status, it STILL shows "Initial Review" -- and we STILL have not received anything directly from the Atlanta Field Office. Really ready to get this part of the journey over with and trying to stay positive -- but let's be for real..... the US Govt. hurries for no one..... GRRRR!!!!

If you are still married and you are permanent resident from last 3 years then file for citizenship...by that way it will speed up your ROC .

good luck

As I understand, one can FILE for citizenship but before the citizenship interview, the GC process should be over and one needs to have a permanent GC to go ahead with the naturalization process.

Just an update

I contacted my Senator and authorized him to contact USCIS on my behalf to see what is going on.

I also went and got I-551 stamp on my passport that extended my legal status for one more year while the case is pending.

I also inquired with USCIS and they said in a letter that "the case is currently in suspense until an interview date has been scheduled."

Nothing much further I can do besides waiting!

Good luck, pal! You're getting closer! All the best!

I believe your local office is struggling to get you an available interview slot. Terrible.

I understand that but for now I do not want to file for citizenship as my native country does not allow for dual citizenship.

Good luck, pal! You're getting closer! All the best!

Thanks! I hope I am close enough for the interview but the holiday season is coming

I believe your local office is struggling to get you an available interview slot. Terrible.

I concur with that because with the reply USCIS apologized for the delay!

Nothing but crickets so far.....waiting patiently as I don't have any choice.

Why don't you apply for citizenship? It will definitely speed up the i751 process. I know a friend who was in the same boat as you and he applied N400. With in a month his ROC was approved.

So, my I551 stamp expired in August so I went to get another stamp after making Infopass appointment. I got another stamp on my passport for one more year and the officer said that they are very back logged with a lot of cases here in Dallas so they will start calling people for interviews soon.

After about 2 weeks of my stamping, I got a letter to appear for my biometrics since the one I had provided had expired as it had been more than 2 years. So I went in and did my biometrics and WAITINGGGGG FOR INTERVIEW!!!
