My I-751 case was approved as of May 10, and I received the hard copy yesterday.

Apparently, they are going to send me a new 10 year green card. I already did the N-400 interview and I am waiting for my oath ceremony date.

Honestly, I do not understand. I thought I was never going to have a new green card since I am almost done with the citizenship process....

Hi altito

 

Congrats, one question, did your spouse go with you for the N-400 interview? Coz I am in the similar situation, my I-751 was filed in July 2016, my N-400 was filed in August 2017 while my I-751 is still pending. And I just received an N-400 interview notice for next month June. I am thinking if my spouse also needs to go. Oh my local office is also SF Field Office, so I would like to hear what your experience is.

 

Thanks a lot.

Take your spouse with you, do whatever you can to make her or him available. Otherwise, they will reschedule your 751 interview. Why take a chance???

Hi Kincowhe....I am also SF filer for N400  and filed in August 2017 as well with I-751 pending From August 2016. May I ask if you filed online or paper? and when were you in line for interview? because I was in line since October 6 2017 and I didn’t get the interview notice yet. Thank you!

Hi 

 

I paper filed my I-751 and N-400. I was in line for interview since September last year. So I think your interview probably will get scheduled pretty soon.

 

Thank you

Thank you so much for replying. Hopefully my interview will be scheduled soon. Good Luck to your interview. Keep us posted

I have a feeling for those of us who got "Your case has been transferred to a new office that has your jurisdiction over your case" updates are all 751/400 combo applicants or 751 approved applicants with 400 pending or not pending like me..

Just talked to another tier 2 officer. He told me my 751 application is definitely not at NBC, MI. For some reason, they didn't bother to update my 751 approval. I think I know what's going on, and it kind of makes sense. They didn't bother to update my 751 in the system because they figured I am going to be naturalized soon(My oath is next Wed), that is why I still got those two pending updates like most of you 751/400 joint applicants did. The suspense is whether they are going to naturalize me, I assume I will lose my eligibility by law, but why did they schedule my oath? Unless they made a mistake??? Obviously for now, my 400 has been approved. I guess I will remain cautiously optimistic and realistic, if they end up naturalizing me, that will be a miracle and I will try to get the stamp on the copy of my 445 oath form so I have evidence for my own record and it is for self protection as instructed by my lawyer. If not, I will go to USCIS as an emergency basis and request them to resume my green card production immediately, I already have that 2 page packet(copy of my 751 approval letter and the title page to request) signed and ready to go if that happens. I also have an infopass appointment on 5/30 if they don't accept my request as an emergency. We will see what happens next week. I am tired and I just want this to be over. Either reject my eligibility or naturalize me or mail me the green card already. I should not have been in a situation where I always have to have a plan B because of uncertainty, but I am doing my best, I have been. I can't wait for this to be over.

It’s really weird that you got the same notification like most of us who has I751/N400 pending because your I-751 is already approved! Why would they transfer your case to NBC!? I guess it was just an automated system that they sent to everyone to let people feel better for this long wait! Haha. I have a feeling that you will be naturalized instead of getting 10 years green card! Can’t wait to hear the good news from you!! Hang in there, it’s almost over!!

I hope you are right, from your mouth to god's ear. I guess they did approve my 400, otherwise, they would not have scheduled my oath ceremony unless they made a mistake. However, I am going to be cautiously optimistic and realistic at the same time. I will go in and just do what I am supposed to do and turn in the form i already filled out and see what happens. It is either the naturalization or green card status. Of course I am hoping for the former, but I also want to be realistic so I don't set myself for disappointment. We will see what happens. thanks for the wish and encouragement. One more week, and I will find out what the hell is going on. Good luck to you, I hope you get approved soon too.

Definitely, take you spouse with you. Mine came with me but he was not interviewed. As a matter of fact, I was all dressed up to go to my work after the interview and the IO thought I was the lawyer and my husband the applicant. Ever since everything went so smooth. Overall it was very easy and relaxed.

Good luck in your interview
