May 23rd 2020. Yes I was thinking that. I just want to finish with this process ;( it's been a long time. 

I totally understand wanting to be done. I submitted ROC in Sept 2018 and N400 July 2019  and still waiting on both. Good luck with your ROC interview!

I have been silent reader for over two years, but I feel it is important to share experience, so others do not get discouraged!

On august 4th my status finally changed to ''Case was approved'' (Nebraska office).

Receipt number LIN19900****, I DID NOT apply for N400.

Had scheduled my Infopass appointment and got to cancel it the day of case was finally updated. No additional evidence were asked, no interview.

Good luck! 

Next step N400

Great question! and how long is the validity of the stamp? Like our extension was for 18 months.

I got a stamp in passport on Monday its for one year however I just also got a email requesting RFE so i guess the info pass actually triggered them to look at my case will let you all know what the RFE says.

Great all the best I hope you hear some good news I didn't apply for N400 I had decided to wait.  I sent everything in my initial package so I'm hoping its just updated info which is fine

Thank you, and same to you. I applied for my N400, not sure if that was a good idea but I guess it all depends on how our offices handle our cases. Anyway, Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Yes each office is different fingers crossed as well.

Just posting our update:

 

After 3 months of back and forth with USCIS, 2 inquiries and an Ombudsman case still pending, we were asked to come to our local Houston office to get a 12 months stamp.

 

Immigration officer was very frank and open. We were told that our i751 will likely be processed along with N400. He also mentioned that we should be patient as processing is going to take "quite a while" but there are no issues with our case and it is just taking long time to process cases with Covid19 and looming budget cuts.

 

The concerning part was that he mentioned for us to "be patient and if the 12 month stamp expires before your combined interview then call us so we can give another extension so you can continue to live in the country and travel without any issues". 

 

There were several other people getting the stamp and being told the same story. At this point we have decided to just taking a step back and focus on a normal life. There is no point to constantly stressing over this as there may be a lot of delays going on.

 

I will post any other updates when we hopefully hear some good news. Best of luck and be patient!

 

Our cases (i751 and N400) are with Texas Service Center/NBC Lee Summit, MO.

Hi,

update on my I-751 as it is outside normal USCIS processing time  applied on Nov 2018 San Francisco field office

1.      green card expired on Feb19  

2.      stamp my passport expired on Apr19 

3.      18 months extension letter expired 1Aug 20 

4.      last week just got another stamp in my passport for 12 M 

 

 

*  I-751 and  N-400 simultaneously by local field office at the time of the N-400 interview

 

* Applied for N-400 Nov 2019, fingerprint done Dec 2019 and no RFE, as per USCIS customer services adv that " the case is ready to be scheduled for interview since 01/12/2020 by San Francisco field office.

However the  A-File is still physically located at the NBC.  NBC didn't send the A-file to San Francisco field office yet...

 

As I understand that  field office can not scheduled my N-400 interview if they didn't receive the A-file from NBC.

 

- I'm afraid that my A-file may lost or derelict/ parked in NBC, as it's been over 7 months "ready to be scheduled for interview", and no action taking and the file has not been sent to San Francisco field office.  

 

No one can stand waiting 20 months for his N-400, or 41 months (20 under N400+21 already past under I751 ) for I-751 "as per Processing time information for the San Francisco field office website" ,  then find out that his file was lost or derelict. 

 

My question is, Did anyone faced same problem and is it right that the field office can not scheduled N-400 interview if they didn't receive the A-file from NBC?

Thanks

Check if it is within normal processing times. If it is not then just reply back otherwise just have to wait it out. They are very nice and prompt with responses.
