That's right. And I've heard the N400 has been taking a year itself too :(

In all seriousness, (you know this because we talked, but for others benefit),  I called USCIS today just to say - yo, what's up what's happening because my case is June 22 and it's now June 30.

 

their response was - we are processing June 9 cases right now so don't call us again until your date is outside that date that the USCIS is showing for processing. 

So basically - don't waste ur time until after your date is showing on the website. 

 

Pah. 🤣

Which, as I always get frustrated about, is such #######... even according to the data they release, that information is 2 months out of date. As of APR 30, they were processing June 9. But they always quote that date as if it's the date they were processing 5 minutes ago.

 

Is your timeline updated?

None of July filers have been approved except one anomaly. If they have really and literally stopped processing, this will be unheard of. The people who have just applied this month will be waiting indefinitely which is strange and incomprehensible. I am now focusing on 400 application and that alone will probably take another year and we July or August filers or anyone who applied after last July will probably have to wait till their 400 interview in order to be approved concurrently with the pending 751 based on their guidelines of adjudication, maybe it is the new form now. The era of getting 751 approval prior to 400 has probably ended with CSC in 2017:(

Did you already apply for N400 too? Yeah some people are getting their naturalization interview literally 2 months after applying. But I applied for my N400 2 months ago and haven't gotten an interview yet. I hope it doesn't end up taking a year like i751. 

It is going to take one year, welcome to the reality

I wasn't out of reality to now be welcome into it. It depends on the field office. You can take a look at N400 forums. 

With USCIS, you always want to lower your expectations so you won't get your hopes up. That is how I look at it.

Hi all,

My I-751 May 2016 filters.

NOA: 05/19/2016

Bio: 06/23/2016

I am still waiting and I have not seen any new updates yet. Unbelievable, my N-400 was sent on 06/06/2017 and My N-400 Biometrics was completed on 06/21/2017 while I-751 is still processing and waiting as usually.

No words can explain right now.

Sorry to hear that. You might have to wait until your 400 interview. They are supposed to either pull out your pending 751 and approve it or approve 751 and 400 concurrently

I called them and the officer said my I-751 will be approved first before I get the N-400 interview letter. I am going to receive his responding by mail around 16 days from 06/27. If I have not received any mails from USCIS until 07/13, I could call him again by 800-customer service and transferring to the officer.

I have made an inforpass appointment with the local USCIS office in Philadelphia on 07/06 to be there in person and getting face to face for more details. We have to take some actions better than just get sitting at home.

Have a great day everyone!

I received my full Permanent Resident card in the mail today. It took two days from mailing date, and five from the initial approval. It's the old design, FWIW.

Just to recap on my RoC process:

 

CSC

06/08/16 - NOA

07/08/16 - Biometrics appointment.

(10 months pass...)

05/18/17 - I made an InfoPass appointment.

06/01/17 - Attended InfoPass appointment. Got passport stamped.

06/15/17 - I sent a service request.

06/26/17 - New card ordered.

06/29/17 - New card mailed.

06/30/17 - Received a response from service request which provided a USPS tracking number for mailed card.

07/01/17 - New card in hand.

 

We're delighted to have this process behind us. It's been four years since we initially filed I-130, so it's been a long road. Thanks to everyone who shared advice and best of luck to those still waiting.

Good luck to you! What date is your NOA? CSC or VSC?

Hi, I submitted my N400 before i751 approval too. What officer did you talk to in order to get that information? Did you ask for a specific officer?
