I can’t believe this either. I meant it only has been 2 weeks but I feel like forever. I am going to the infopass on The 15th that will mark a month. 

I can’t believe they still have not yet scheduled your oath ceremony. What is the hold up? You are right, they usually scare when it come to civilian suing the institution. I hope it won’t have to come to that point for you. Have you tried the emergency number?

That number is no longer in service since that was in 2008. Last I checked at info pass the officer looked in the system and told me my cases are under review. This "review" from what it is is normally a post interview occurrence that can happen where your case just sits on a supervisor's desk waiting signature to be cleared. It normally takes 3 to 6 weeks for most cases or could be a little longer. There are 2 San Diego October 2018 filers who also had pending I-751's and N-400's and had the same predicament post combo interview. The only difference is both had luck and their statuses changed after roughly 3 weeks while I'm still entering the 6th week now. The N-652 approval letter also says you can write to the officer regarding your case in writing as well which I have done and will deliver on April 17th there in person when I go for my info pass appointment. It also gives you that 120 day option by law to take further action and request your case before U.S. districts court if USCIS fails to make a decision by then. Hopefully it won't get to that but either way I'll have no option that to do is if it does anyway.

Based on you and CK207's experiences, it seems the issues are arising from the I757 and not the N400. 

I think you should definitely start a case with them  regarding your file, I mean waiting for an interview is different from going to the interview and waiting for next steps. These should not take this much time. 
I think you should both lawyer up and see what can be done. 

Yes the I-751 is the elephant in the room that needs adjudication to clear this mess. That's why I'm trying to make sure it gets done so I can move on with my life. It's so frustrating considering the fact that I filed this stuff since December 2016 and it's still on the way. If not of the backlog that plagued California Service Center shortly after that election cycle this could've been approved since way back. It sat there for 2 and a half years on a desk only to be sent to National Benefits Center in May 2018 so I could be adjudicated with my N-400 in Seattle and here I am now with this mess.

I feel like you already did all the think that you can. Do you have a lawyer? I do not. I did not think it’s necessary. Let me know how it does on April 17. I am going on April 15 and talk to them. The last person I talked to did not even bother looking at my files. She was just like well it could be this that, just wait. Yay for my tax money.

Today I received a notice in the mail that my ROC was approved on the same day as my joint ROC and N-400 interview, and that I should expect my new green card to arrive within 60 days.

 

Posting this in case any ROC + N-400 applicants want to know about how fast things move.

Thank you for sharing, CLWA. Question: Do they still issue you a 10-year-GC despite the fact that you passed the N400 interview?

I'm on the same boat, N400+ROC combo.

How long did it pass between you filed the N400 and the interview date? Thank you and congrats again.

Hi!

 

Yes, they still issue the GC, and it could arrive before or after your Oath ceremony. In case it arrives before, you just give it to the officer during the Oath. In case it arrives after, you should go to a USCIS office and return it there.

The interview for me was 28 months after ROC application, and 15 months after N-400 application.

 

Good luck!

Thank you so much for the information. It seems that it is taking approximately between 14 to 15 months to go between the filing and to the moment of the interview.

It's not that bad now! Let's keep fingers crossed so things keep moving along!

Mine is expected to be around Christmas!

I just went to infopass. They give me my i751 interview ion May 2 but not my N400. The date said April 3 notification. I have not received  anything in the mail. I also don’t know why only my i751. Advices?

Is it possible that they want to finish the I751 before they finalize the the N400?

Highly possible. But I called the USCIS number today and found out that there is no interview record on their end. The local office sent it to my old address which I changed a while back. I would not even know I have an interview if I did not come for the infopass.

Talking of inefficiencies. 
I seriously have no clue how these offices operate. The more stories I hear about, the more concerned i get about this system and how much revamping it needs.
