November 2017 I-751 Filers

[GermanG 31]

Hi guys! I am a November 2017 (I751) filer.

I originally filed for the California Service Center (my receipt number starts in WAC).

In December 2018, the case got transferred to Lee's Summit, MO (National Benefit Center, NBC).

In October 2018, I filed for N400 (Local office is Seattle, WA).

So, I have waited ~1 year for the Naturalization and ~ 2 years for the Removal of Conditions.

No idea what happens when the case is transferred to the NBC.

Is anybody in this Forum a "combo" filer like me?

It's hard to discuss my case in the "pure" N400 Forum because many people only filed N400 and it has been taking only 15-16 months in Seattle, WA.

But once you are a combo filer and your case is transferred is a big mystery. Thank you

Please check my timeline.  I am also Nov 2017 filer and done with Citizen July 15, 2019 and it was kind of combo interview.  Not sure, why you have to wait one year after N-400 filing.  What is the current timeline for N-400 interview in your local office?

In Seattle, it has been taking 15-16 months from the time of N-400 filing to the interview. Today is my 1 year anniversary! I will have to wait other 4 months.

Did you get any notice that your i-751 has been transferred to NBC?  If yes, then  NBC will send your I-751 and N-400 together.  You might  just have N-400 interview and they will approve your I-751 at the background after N-400 interview.  However, it is important ( must) to go with your spouse during N-400 interview.

Yes, indeed on December 21, 2018 my I751 was transferred to Lee's Summit, MO (NBC).

after that, dead silence.

My expected completion date fir Naturalizarion is February, 2020.

I was planning to bring my spouse.

Thank you for the advice!

It is unfortunate, but they will not touch your I-751 until they are ready for your N-400 interview.

Still waiting. Not even going to bother with getting another 551 stamp because we have no travel plans. We've already been through 2 yearly stamps, 18 month extension letter, and a 12 month extension letter now.

Finally. My wife passed the civics exam and was approved today. Now waiting for the oath ceremony.
