N-400 and I-751 combo pending

[jackrabbit1 9]

Hello Everyone, i want to start by saying that this forum and website have been a source of encouragement, reading peoples posts and experiences. I had to register to share my experience too..

I applied for removal of condition 04 March 2017, haven't heard anything from them so i took the courage after reading post down here about applying for N400 while I-751 is still pending, i did that 9 April and went for Biometrics on 30 April, and on the 27 of June i had 4 notifications, two of which interview for N-400 was schedule for 13 of August and 2 notification saying we de-scheduled your appointment due to unforeseen circumstances and previously scheduled interview canceled.

I would like to know if anyone have ever had an experience like this and if so how long did it take for USCIS to schedule new interview date? 

I uploaded a pic of the my timeline with my N-400.

This might explain why it is taking so long these days. It is Trump.

I read that few hours ago on my phone while I was at work. Thanks for sharing. Don't you think this is absolutely dirty politics?

It is Trump's obvious attempt to slow down the immigration. He is executing aggressively. The endless pending confirms that unfortunately.

[Russ&Caro 1,549]

Here's the money quote from the USCIS spokesperson:

"Many of these cases, which can remain pending from one quarter to the next, are well within the processing time goal established by the agency with variances being a direct result of geography and capacity USCIS will continue to process all applications and petitions in a judicious and comprehensive manner and will do so as efficiently and expeditiously as possible in accordance with the law," he added. "We reject the inaccurate claims of those fundamentally opposed to this effort."

 

I think most of us waiting for our applications to process have to have a good rage chuckle over the "processing time goal" comment. They've been adjusting these goals every 2 or 3 months as they fall further and further behind. That's pretty much the figurative definition of moving the goalposts. I'm a project manager by trade. If you allow me to change the deadline for the end of the project whenever I want, then I will always deliver my projects on time. These people can't even tell convincing lies anymore.

I have an InfoPass appointment in two weeks to get yet another extension stamp for my I-751 application!

Maybe the officer can tell you what's going on. I have a friend from Tennessee who drove 6 hours to get his 551 stamp and ended up getting an interview date. Hopefully you will be lucky enough to find a human being at your USCIS field office...Good luck.

It sure feels like a shenanigan created by Trump's administration. Typical, it is aggressive and whoever is in charge is lying for the president. This is the most anti immigration admin ever. The processing times were obviously created arbitrarily to cover their real agenda. Good luck. I am so glad and grateful that my process is over. I am lucky to live in Los Angeles as the field office here seems to be faster than others in the country. For those of you folks who are still waiting can just pray if Muller's got something damaging or pray dems to grow a spine and win in 2020(seems like an uphill battle) Politics do matter when it comes to immigration. The processing time for 751 at field office is from 2 to close to 4 years, go figure, what a nightmare.

Oh man, this is absurd   It is driving me crazy Austin. I wish you have listened to your husband and moved to Portland. You would be a U.S citizen by now and best buddies of mine. We would hang out a lot Lets pray and hope that you hear from them pretty soon, best wishes.

Driving 6 hours for an extension stamp!?   But they got an interview date so may be it was worth it!

Something tells me that it's probably me, not the city I live in!    I've been so unlucky when it comes to the US immigration!  

 

If I had moved to Portland, the processing timeline in Portland would have jumped from 6 months to 20 months since bad luck seems to follow me!      You should be thankful that I don't live in Portland!

I am a combo 751 W/ n400 pending. 

751 NOA is Aug 29 2016 and N400 NOA is June 23 2017. 

Infopass let me know I am inline for interview on N-400, tier2 phone officer told me everything is on hold till 751.

I haven't received a notice yet for an interview yet.

 

Zombie you are ahead of me in line by a couple of weeks.  I know some combo cases that cleared both 751 and N400 concurrently but their N400 application was done online and those appear to be moving faster than my paper based one. 

 

I am hoping to get a notice for an appointment on the N400 by the end of the year. 

 

 

I filled I-751 in feb 2017 and N-400 in Jan 2018 and my I-751 was transferred to NBC in may.no movement since then.

I was naturalized on 5/23/2018. My 751 was approved on 4/26/2018, but I got an update in early May saying my 751 has been transferred to NBC, and it still says that. I would not read too much into the new update saying your 751 was transferred. Your 751 and 400 are probably at your field office.

Glad to hear that hope they schedule my N-400 interview soon.did you had combined interview? 

[Russ&Caro 1,549]

If you've had a case pending for a few months, I suggest calling the USCIS support number. They won't tell you anything of value and they'll repeat the info about waiting 20 months. However, your call will likely be logged and that might trigger someone to look at your case. The day after I called USCIS, they assigned an interview for my wife. Maybe it was coincidence that this happened so close to my call, but maybe not.

 

EDIT: By the way, there was no notice of reassignment of our case to NBC or anything like that. Just out of the blue we were scheduled for an interview.

Thank you. No, I did the 400 interview alone because my husband was very sick. I had to prove to the officer why he could not join the possible 751 interview by submitting a packet of dr's letters and medical records. 3 days later. He passed away sadly. I had to convert my 751 into a widower waiver application by submitting his death certificate 10 days later when it was ready. It got a bit complicated. My interview was on 3/26. My 751 was approved on 4/26. Oath letter recieved on 5/2. Naturalized in 5/23.
