I really do hope they purposely scheduled the oath ceremony for you, because I personally think you should be eligible for Citizenship since your husband was alive when you had the interview. But like you said, 400 could be rejected due to the passing of your husband so it’s hard to say. I just wish you the best and hope miracles happen. I hope they understand your situation and approve your citizenship too! At least your green card is on its way to your house!😊

I wish you were right, but INA 319(a) says 400 applicant will lose his or her eligibility if the American citizen spouse dies before or after filing of 400, my husband passed three days after the interview, so if they go by law, I should be found ineligible. I will try to see USCIS and ask them what is going on. My lawyer told me if they approved me and were aware the passing of my husband, then I need to get that in writing to protect myself so I won't be responsible if they decide to densturalize me. I am still waiting for the oath letter. I will find out what is going on, but I expect to lose my eligibility though. Thanks for your wish and encouragement.

Guys, I don't remember if I have mentioned this. My 751 was actually approved on my late husband's birthday last week as I wished according to the approval notice. Last Thursday was his 90th birthday, the first birthday a month after he passed, we still celebrated his birthday in spirit. It was my biggest birthday gift from him in heaven and I know he is watching over me. It would have been too much of an coincidence. I still got an oath ceremony mailed notice through text and email  but I think it is an error, I will have to go to USCIS because due to the passing of my spouse, I should have lost my eligibility, I confirmed it with my lawyer and I will find that out by going to USCIS soon, if they decided to override the law and make me eligible for citisenship, I need to have that in writing for self protection of being de naturalized. Good luck to you all.

First of all,  I am so sorry for you loss. I am happy you got your 751 approved finally.

I already did my citizenship interview last April 30th and I passed it, but they have not made a recommendation for the oath ceremony yet because my I-751 case is still pending.  My N-400 case jumped over 751 one. I was told a supervisor would revise it and I would get a soon response. The immigration officer said that I was 95% approved, and I would not get any issues at all. 

In the meantime my I-751 online status is going crazy with weird messages, see below

Does anybody know what could be happening?

Thank you for your condolences, I think at this point all you have to do is wait. I would not look too deep into the 751 status. You will probably get in line for the oath ceremony update, they may skip your 751. Just have to wait and see.

I just checked. The USCIS manual unfortunately says pretty clearly I will be rejected, it says the American citizen spouse dies anytime before the oath ceremony, the applicant who applied for 400 based on 3 year rule will lose his or her eligibility. I expect to, anything other than that will be a miracle. I just want this to be over, get my 751 approved green card and use it to re apply next August.

My 751 was approved on the 26th last month, and I got the approval notice in the mail to, but this morning I got an update saying my case has been transferred to another office? Still waiting for my green card. Has anyone who got your green card thought 751 got this update after the approval before? Got me worried a bit. Please share, thanks. From approval back to initial review??

Do they mention anything about making an exception under humanitarian compassionate grounds?

They may have sent your case back to NBC for processing your Green Card?    I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Just called USCIS, the officer told me I have already been approved and there's nothing to worry about, I am getting this message because all 751 cases in my city are all getting the same update being transferred to another office, she told me if i don't get my card in 30 days, please call them. 

About the 400, i also talked to the officer, they would not have scheduled my oath if they didn't approve me, so that is weird,,,oh god, i wish this were over already. I know I am fine, but all this system glitches are driving me crazy.

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators. If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition.

Oh, that explains it, i guess all the 751 cases pending and approved or not are getting the same message. What a relief for me, whew. I got panicky. Whew. About the 400, the representative on the phone told me the officer would not have scheduled my oath if they didn't approve my 400, so I have been approved, but no, no mentioning of humanitarian ground at all, I guess I will find out on the 23rd, I expect to lose my eligibility like I have been saying. I just hope I get my green card soon. Good luck to you too, this whole thing has been a nightmare for many of us.

BTW, I see your case number in your initial message of the email notification.      You may want to contact the Admin to have them deleted.
