This makes me very sad... They don't realize that there are lives, hopes and dreams at stake while they sit on our applications for years and stop our lives from being lived.

Yes, I'm very sad too!  :cry:  We got really unlucky since our I-751 applications were being processed at CSC:clock:  Then, they decided to combine our I-751 applications with our N-400 applications at the local field offices.  That delayed our I-751 applications.  :wacko:

Yes, if CSC did not back up this year, I would be a citizen by now and Stan would have witnessed it. I am now grieving and going through a tough time and I am not even a 10 year permanent resident yet. It is just all messed up, I had to go to USCIS as an emergency Friday and made an emergency request to convert my 751 from joint petition to a waiver application when evidence of Stan's death and tell them in writing that I will submit his death certificate ASAP when it is available because if they approve my 751 jointly after Stan's death, they can invadite it as make me start all over again, I did it and they stamped on the copy of the request saying they received my request, so that part is done and I will be back again submitting Stan's death certificate when it is available. N400 is over, I will have to re apply next year as the INA clearly suggests the naturalization for applicants like me requires American citizen spouses to be alive. My heart is broken and the best that will come out of this is my 751 approval. Tough times, but I will heal and survive, Stan would want me to.

Yes, that's the truth, my friend. CSC inability and incompetency messed up the process for you. If you were a VSC applicant you would be a naturalized citizen by now. It is absolutely appalling that I-751 takes up to 20 months to get approved at CSC. I am sorry for the loss of your husband and breaks my heart to see you at the wrong end of this process. You would have to refile for naturalization next year again. I am glad to hear that you are staying strong and upbeat. Take care, regards.

Thanks, I did the best. I submitted the emergency expedited oath request, I did the emergency 751 conversion after my husband passed. I think my 751 approval is around the corner, but it is sad my push for my spouse to witness my naturalization failed. While I am mourning, I will stay strong and re apply for 400 next year as an individual. What can I do? Thanks for the support. I hope you will get approved soon too.

Hello @Zombie69, I'm so sorry to hear about your husbands passing. It's a pity that USCIS did not naturalize you and fulfill his one last dying wish. I pray that God takes care of you and your family during these tough times, hang in there.

Thank you so much for your support. I guess my husband will see me become a citizen next year, from heaven. I will stay strong and thanks for your prayers. Very touching

Hi,

 

I think I been seeing your posts quite a bit. Knowing the story behind actually make me feel kinda sad and angry at USCIS. I am very sorry for your loss. But quick question for you, didn't you pass the N400 interview already? They won't let you to attend the oath ceremony if your husband passed away?

Thanks for your wish. Yes, I passed the interview, but they have to approve 751 before they can approve my 400, my husband was critically ill and could not be there with me for the possibly 751 interview, so I submitted an expedited oath ceremony request based on humanitarian ground with loads of evidence of his medical condition and illnesses in hopes that they could waive the interview and approved both, but the officer said he needed to talk to the supervisor. Even If I were approved, Immigration Nationality Act states that naturalization based on 3 year marriage won't be invalid if the American citizen spouse dies before the the oath ceremony, that is why I was in double jeopardy and even if they approved my expedited request after my husband's death, my oath would have still been invalidated. My interview was on the 26th. My husband passed on the 29th, i would have been a citizen of they granted my oath before his death which I was trying to do but failed. Thanks for your condolences.
