Hi all, 

On Feb 28, 2017, my husband from Nepal and I had filed for I751. The biometrics appointment were sent a couple months after. And on February 2018, we got a notice asking for more evidence. USCIS received our response for RFE on April 2018 but since then I haven't heard anything. I check our status on the USCIS website but it says Vermont Service Center will be working on it soon. I guess my question is 'is anyone else on the same boat' The 1 year extension had also expired. How long are they taking to respond to RFE because I was told for some people they get responses back within a few weeks. Also, since he's eligible to apply for citizenship, how would it work if we apply for citizenship before we get a response for our RFE. Please help. Thank you.

File for citizenship now. And prepare papers for interview - like a mini ROC - bank statements, taxes, lease/mortgage, EOBs, insurance, bills... 

ROC 2009
Naturalization 2010

If we file for citizenship, what would be internal process be like? Would they automatically match the citizenship application to our case and proceed together? I just don't want to create any more conflict resulting in longer wait time.

You can file for Naturalization and it'll proceed together. It actually can be a shorter wait for Naturalization.


Now if you have an expired Extension letter, you can get a passport stamp by making an Infopass appointment and showing them your NOA. That will extend your green card for another year.

I would second what @Ash.1101 said about getting a stamp in his passport.

 

The time to complete is out of wack so no one really knows how long things will take.  What used to take weeks is now taking months in some cases, so better safe than sorry. 

 

Best wishes!
