 2 months after my interview still no update on my case

South Dakota applicant here, interview scheduled in Sioux Falls 23rd of October. I talked to the officer when I had my finger prints done and he mentioned they were setting up an interview office in Sioux Falls, so I guess it's open now! Has anyone else been to the 101 Reid St office?

 

Woohoo! Progress 🙂

I wonder if you can do your oath there as well? 

[dadNdave 1]

I'm really hoping! 😄

So my wife had her citizenship interview today. She passed everything but instead of leaving with a sheet of paper that said approved, she left with one that said ‘a decision cannot be made at this time’. Why? Because her freaking I-751 is still waiting to be approved! We filed in Oct of 2017. No RFE's. Her 18 month extension letter expired in July. Last month her case got transferred from Minnesota to Missouri. No idea why. This is soooooo frustrating....

Wow, that seems so bureaucratic it hurts.  I guess there technically could be a reason that a denied I-751 would mean N-400 denial though.

 

Best of luck waiting for the I-751 and N-400 approval!

Thanks so much! Sorry for the rant. We were just really hoping to be celebrating yesterday. I guess now we can say we're closer than before but we're still caught up in the USCIS whirlpool of fun. The officer asked my wife why our 751 was taking so long and why it got transferred to Missouri. She asked if we lived in Missouri. Aggggghhhhhhh!

So I recently received interview notice today without mentioning about my pending i-751. Should I call uscis and notify about that?

I think you should prepare for both N400 and i-751. You will have a Combo interview

Stumbled on this interesting tidbit on the office locator on USCIS site. Seems like MN field office is transferring N400 cases to other field offices. I read a while back that USCIS was going to implement this strategy in order to decrease processing times for the busy offices. I wonder if this means that we'll start to see folks in the twin cities getting interview scheduled in far off states and not just those in northern MN. I, for one welcome this and wouldn't mind flying to a distant office just to get over with this process especially given that I'm in the twin cities and filed my application this past June and currently looking at least a year before getting an interview scheduled. Anyone in MN receive an interview notice from a different state?

No. But I got interview notice just 7 months after my application, which is surprising for me

So this morning my wife got an email from USCIS that her naturalization was approved! What a happy day  

 

Still no word on her greencard ROC but I guess we don't care as long as she gets to take the oath.

 

Thanks everyone for all the help and encouragement

The wife finally got a notice that her ROC was approved but the letter said that seeing how she was already approved for naturalization they would not be sending her a new green card. Guess that pretty much wraps things up.
