Now, as I seem to recall from those who have posted before . . . 10 year Green Card usually comes 7-10 days after 'new card being produced' notification received. 

 

Is that correct ?

Took 7 days for me.

I had my N-400 and I-751 combo interview in Chicago a few days ago. My N-400 status changed to Waiting for Oath Ceremony to be scheduled. However, my I-751 status still shows as Case Received by your local office. Three questions for the group here

1) Is the above situation normal? I.e., only N400 status changes even though the office says he approved the I751

2) will I get a 10 yr GC in the mail? 

3) how long does it typically take for USCIS to schedule the oath ceremony?

Hi everyone! I spoke to Tier 2 officer today, she was very nice and gave me a better idea of the timeline. If your case is at CSC, the average wait time is up to 21-22 months. So we still have a few months to wait before they can file a service request. If your 18 months extension letter expired, they won't be sending you a new one and you need to get a new I-551 stamp. You can request an infopass appointment to get a new stamp 30 days before its expiration days. Hope it helps

Thanks for the information!  This is such a frustrating wait!  We're headed to Mexico in January, so can use the 18-month letter, but for Spring Break, we're also going out of the country, and if this isn't remedied by then, he and my stepson will need a frigging stamp!  so annoying.

Hi everyone, I have never commented but I read all of your comments and I really appreciate your experiences and advice, I want to post all my dates and experience in this looooonnnnggg process, We are a Gay Married couple living in Miami, I'm from Venezuela and my husband Argentina / American Citizen, CSCfillers. Ok here are my dates:

 

I-751:

-Send Forms: April 15 2017

-Case was received: May 4, 2017

-Case was received at my local office: February 25, 2018. And changed to February 26, 2017.

-Not a word since then.

Went to receive my 551 Stamp on July 2018.

 

N-400:

 

-Send forms online: June 20, 2018

-We received your application: June 22, 2018

-We scheduled your biometrics: June 22, 2018

-Went to biometric appointment: July 9, 2018

-We scheduled your interview: October 22, 2018

-Interview date: December 6, 2018 (Approved both I-751 and Pass N-400 Test)

-Oath ceremony: December 15, 2018

 

For the interview part:

 

My husband and I prepared a lot of new evidence to support our marriage and we hope for a combo interview, we went 30 min before, we wait to be call, the officer was super polite and nice and I explained that we have a pending removal of conditions and that my husband was there just in case he needs to interview us, he said that he can wait outside. I entered the office and he said that bringing him was nice and lets see if we need him. He maid me swear and then he start with the form question (all the personal question, address, phone number, etc etc etc). Then he ask me to read a sentence in a tablet (Abraham Lincoln was a general during the civil war) and then he ask me to write in the tablet (Lincoln was a general during the civil war). Then he ask me 4 question (Longest river, date of independence adopted, name of the speaker of the house and name of the president now) and he said ok congratulations you pass your test, let me close your 751 case and we are done so they can give you your letter for the oath ceremony outside. At the end he did'n check our evidence, not interview with my husband and he was really nice. Now to prepare for my oath ceremony. We are really happy and we are really grateful with all your comments. I wish  you all the best and hopefully everyone will be citizen in no time. 

 

PD: No update in the status on the USCIS page or any place jet but I already have my letter with date and time of ceremony.

Just got an update that they are currently reviewing my case!! Filing date May 20th 2017

 

"During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators"

 

Fingers crossed!

I just received this email:

 

On December 20, 2018, your Form I751, PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS ON RESIDENCE, Receipt Number -------------------------------, was transferred to another USCIS office. That office now has jurisdiction over your case. We sent you a notice that explains why we moved your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your notice by January 19, 2019, please go towww.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address. 

 

I am not sure what is happening or where is being transferred to, I submitted my N-400 last may/18 and I am in line for the interview, I am hoping is being transferred to My Local Office (Orlando) so I get a combo interview. After 19 months waiting at least I am seeing a movement, Finally!

I got the same notice!! It looks like they are finally getting to our cases. Not sure though if it means we are getting a combo interview or not, I sent my N-400 in May 2018.

I know. I am so hopping to get my N-400 interview scheduled, an April 2018 N-400 filler in Orlando (My local office) with a pending I-751 just recently had his N-400 interview and it seems everywhere they are doing combo interviews, including Orlando, his notice had no information about combo interview or instructions about the I-751 whatsoever in his notice, when he arrived for the interview the officer asked for his wife to be able to proceed and he didn't end up going with her, so she told him they would have to reschedule his appointment, so he couldn't even do his N-400 part just because he didn't go with his wife and there was no annotation in the notice about it, now he has to wait who knows how long to get a new date for his interview and bring his wife with him for it. So it seems combo interviews are not even being notified to applicants, they are just assuming you will bring your spouse with you if you  have an I-751 pending.

Oh wow, that's good to know! I will bring my husband with me for sure!! Better safe than sorry. I am just wondering how much more do we need to wait.
