We have heard many stories about approvals and  the non approved , but what I cant understand is how others are getting approved that filled after me at USCIS Vermont.

I gave up on infopass 3 months ago because you can never seem to book an appointment. As things stand, I will receive my biometrics appoint in the post for my N-400 petition, and this came as a major shock considering the timescale and swift USCIS response.

 

What is the patience levels of you good people? My journey started out at the old United Embassy in London over four years ago, I still feel like its starting from square one all over again.

My patience is slowly dwindling away. 18 months now and still waiting on ROC. I also filed N-400 while waiting, which I think was a big mistake. If I didn't file N-400, my chances of being getting a response before now would have been greatly increased. I'm a Sept ROC 2016 filer and those who have filed N-400 were completely skipped in the approvals. Some have had joint ROC and N-400 interviews (which is probably going to happen to the majority of us). 

I've been on this forum for quite some time now and I remember long ago reading someones signature... "This is a long process. You will not enjoy this". 
That statement is so true. The best thing I can advise is to carry on with life. Dont forget about the warm sun, enjoy the company of those around you and love those who mean the most to you. Don't get caught up with waiting on USCIS to make your day brighter, go out there and find happiness each and every day.

Thank you for the infomation, when I go for my N-400 biometrics I will try and find something out about my I-751. Until then I will go online on March 29th and try and book an info pass appointment.

Try booking infopass appointments after midnight. I've always got one after 12am.

It seems like once you file the N-400 the petitions are joined and run at the pace of the N-400 which is processed at the local office, so timelines vary widely. The bad news is, your I-751 might be delayed and likely will never be approved on its own. Good news is, once you're done, you're a citizen.

If that's the case I need to book a infopass appointment and have another I-751 stamp in my passport. It's just getting the appointment, Phoenix USCIS never   seems to have any open.😞

It says my window will open April 21, does this mean i can start applying for naturalization that day? 

I was referring to my info pass appointment. You can apply for you naturalisation if you qualify, I am not sure about what you mean when your window opens?

 

What says your window will open on the 21st of April?
