Good afternoon 

 

I have my I-751 pending right now and I was wondering if some of you are in a similar situation.

I submitted my I-751 one year ago, based on your experience do you know if the USCIS will combine it  with my N400 or if I should request it?

 

Thank you for your help 

Hi, lots of us are in this situation.

USCIS will probably combine your applications for a combo interview.

See my post from today:

@Derwood get yourself ready because you are about to receive your interview letter pretty soon. Good luck

Had our biometrics appointment at 2 p.m. today (Albany, NY).  Expected completion date went from November 2018 to SEPTEMBER 2018!!!!!

 

Let's see if that holds....

And this morning, after getting a "notice" online, the case says "We've reviewed your biometrics", and the expected completion date moved back to October 2018...

It's my turn for biometrics today. It'll be interesting to see how my date Is affected. It's already slipped from Dec 2018 to Jan 2019!

Used to live in Cincinnati many years ago....good luck today!  Our biometrics was quick and easy.  I WAS surprised, though - the waiting room in Albany was JAMMED!  And their INFOPass kiosk was "out of order"....

Thank you CTgal18. I still can't believe they scheduled me so fast.

 

:-)

Applied 2/11, biometrics 3/8 @ Buffalo ASC, and today the Case Status Online tool suddenly shows that the interview was scheduled. The USCIS account still shows the completion date of October 2018 and the letter is not yet available there. Isn't the case supposed to go to in line for an interview for a few months while they do the background checks?

Ours moved to March 2019!!! after biometrics done 2 weeks ago.

Guess it depends how backed up your field office is.

Since USCIS has been having a backlog, I would doubt there will be the 'case in line for interview' now. Background checks are initiated the same day you do your biometrics and are sent within a few minutes to the USCIS. If your name has a HIT then thats when it will take a little while and even with that, USCIS will still continue with their side of the process but you will not be given your benefits (I751 or I485 or N400 etc) that you applied for until the FBI check is clear.

I guess my point is that, in my understanding, normally the interview notice isn't sent until a few months after the biometrics completion, and things move pretty quickly after the interview is done. However, we seem to picking up a few cases among the February 2018 files that are also getting notified of scheduled interviews, mine's the third one reported here. This is odd.

The third one to be reported here, interestingly enough looking at the timelines of all interviews, the people who have an interview seems to be people who have been able to apply for citizenship a year or so ago.  That was until a Feb filer who is jointly filing received the same notice today and now they are worried that there interview may be before the 90 days are up. So any one know what happens if you get an interview before you are eligible for naturalization?

I became eligible in late July, but moved from VT to NY at the end of August and had to wait the 3 months to file. Then I had to wait some more because VT could not track down the court records for a speeding ticket (12 over...) that I received in 2016, something I requested back in July and received in February. So not a year ago, more like 6 months. Still, good point. Regarding the eligibility date, I think the same question popped up in the January 2018 filers thread, the consensus was that they won't schedule the interview until you're eligible.

Thanks for that info, I shall pass it on to the relevant person and it helps me too as I wont be eligible until May. Glad you got it sorted out and as far as interview notice, well last week I saw someone post about they were in line for an interview but couldnt see the date, this week when I look it says the date of interview. I guess its a couple of days before your interview date will be visible. Good luck with your interview and tests!

It also just depends on the field office because I have had a green card for 14 years, never been married, no arrests/citations (not even a speeding ticket to my name) and no kids so you would think mine would be one of the fast ones but it isn’t because Hartford is very behind. One of the January filers is similar to me and hasn’t gotten his either.

Thats what the consensus was that i read through too. So basically all those that are scheduled are ones that are eligible for naturalization that would fall well within the time frame of eligibility.
