I-751 finger prints done what is next ?

 

they gave the finger prints letter with a stamp.

Now comes the waiting game! There's nothing further for you to do at this point. Current processing of I-751 is taking 12+ months.

Now you wait! Haha.

 

We're looking at roughly a year processing time for I-751..

 

I would file for my naturalization if I were you on the date you are eligible (3 yrs minus 90 days from initial green card). That's what I intend to do next year if we don't have a decision yet.

 

- Removal of Conditions Timeline -

07/31/17 - Mailed I-751 package to California Service Center

08/01/17 - Package delivered to CSC

08/05/17 - NOA1 received by US mail

08/10/18 - Rec'd new NOA1 with 18 month extension instead of 12 months

10/15/18 - Case transferred to Nebraska

12/26/18 - ROC Approved

Wait, and wait some more.

You will eventually get frustrated and determined to exhaust every avenue available to speed it up, then realise that there is absolutely nothing you can do.

 

Then you wait some more.

CR1 / DCF (London): 2012 / 2013 (4 months from I-130 petition to visa in hand)

I-751 #1- April 2015 [Denied]

 

April 2015 : I-751 Joint filing package sent fedex next day 09:00am from UK ($lots - thanks). 
Jan 2017: Notification that an interview has been scheduled at a local office. Bizarrely still no RFE... 
Jan 2017: 2hr wait, then interview terminated before it began, due to moving my ID to another state 2 wks prior. New interview 'in a few months...maybe.'   Informed them that divorce proceedings are underway, but not finalised at this time. 
March 2017: An Interview was scheduled - marked as no-show as they didn't actually send out a notification of interview. FML 
April  2017: Filed an official complaint with the ombudsman, and have requested Senator & Congressman assistance
August 2017: Interview - switched to a (finalised) divorce waiver. Told that decision will be made that afternoon, but no problems foreseen with my case. 
October 2017: Letter of Denial received - reason given as 'I-751 petition was not properly filed'. Discovered ex-spouse made false allegations to USCIS in 2015. No opportunity given to review & refute allegations  - contrary to USCIS policy.

I-751 #2 - Oct 2017 - Mar 2021[Denied] 

 

October 2017: Within 72hrs of receiving denial notice, a new waiver I-751, divorce decree & $680 cheque, sent to Vermont via FedEx overnight 9am priority.  
Dec 2019: Filed FOIA request for full A# file
Feb 2020: FOIA request completed - entire A# file received as a .PDF; 197 pages fully redacted, and 80 partially redacted. Don't waste your time!
March 2021: I-751 #2 denied for lack of evidence. No RFE, no interview, and evidence in previous I-751 not reviewed - contrary to policy. Huge errors in adjudication.

N-400 - Feb 2018 - Apr 2021 [Denied]

 

February 2018: N-400 filed online.  $725 paid to the USCIS paperwork wastage fund

February  2019: Interview - cancelled after a four hour wait due to 'missing paperwork' on their end. Promised Expedited reschedule.

March 2021: Interview letter received, strangely dated after I-751 denial. No I-751 interview conducted. N-400 interview and test passed, given 'cannot make a decision at this time' paper due to the ongoing I-751 nightmare...

April 2021: N-400 denial received citing recent I-751 denial as basis for ineligibility, even though it should have been a combo interview 🤯

I AM JACK'S COMPLETE LACK OF SURPRISE

Service Motion - March 2021 [Sent via FedEx & COMPLETELY IGNORED by USCIS]

 

March 2021: Service Motion request sent overnight addressed direectly to field office director, requesting urgent review and re-opening, based on errors in adjudication - citing USCIS policy, AFM and memorandums as basis for errors. This was completely ignored by USCIS.

 I-751 #3 - June 2021 - Jan 2024 [Denied]

 

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

June 2021: I-751 #3 (30+lbs/5000 pages of paperwork) & another $680 sent to USCIS via FedEx ($300+..thanks) .... 

June 2021: Receipt issued, card charged, biometrics waived, infopass scheduled for I-551 stamp number ten.....

Feb 2022: RFIE (no, not an RFE, a Request For Initial Evidence) received, for copies of the divorce paperwork that they already have 😑

July 2022: Infopass for I-551 stamp number eleven.....

August 2023: Infopass for I-551 stamp number twelve....

January 2024: Denial received, ignoring the overwhelming majority of the filing, abundance of evidence, and refutation of a provably false allegation. The denial also contradicts itself in multiple places, as if it was written by someone with an IQ <50.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Did you file through CSC or VSC? Processing times for each are available on the USCIS website:

https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processTimesDisplayInit.do

 

You can also join the filers group here on VJ for whichever month you sent the I-751 off in. I'm just guessing but if you just had biometrics done you likely filed in June or July? Each has their own thread in the ROC forum, just search for June 2017 I-751 Filers or July 2017 I-75I filers (or whichever month you filed in). This way you can follow along with others who have similar timelines as you. 

 

Many ROC cases are approved without interview. Historically, I believe about 10% of "typical" (low-fraud) cases received an interview. I don't know if that's still the case now, but many people do not get called for an interview and just receive the 10-year card.

I filed in July.

 

Hope they send card with out Interview, waiting with fingers crossed.

 

Thanks for the answer.

Everyone has told you about the waiting, which is true.

I will add that it goes by fast though. I waited for 13 months before getting my GC.

Just keep yourself preoccupied with other things instead of checking for a status change every day.

Good luck!

~AOS : 09/11/2014 - 2 YR Green card received!.

~ROC 07/13/2017 - 10 YR Green card received!.

~N-400 : 10/28/2020 - N400 Interview & Approval/Oath Ceremony/US Citizen!

 

More Importantly, I am a proud Anti-Fascist!

Yes and it's actually the norm than the exception. The few folks who get interviews are divorce waivers and it's for good reason. If your case is clear, there is a high likelihood you won't get an interview.

Thanks for the math(s) lesson professor.

 

Yes, I filed in 2015, yes my GC was issued in 2013, yes it is greater than three years ago. 

No, I am not eligible to file my N-400 under the three year rule as in the 27.5 months since jointly filing the I-751, lots of life has happened, and I am no longer 'living in marital union' with the USC spouse who petitioned for my permanent residency.
