Lucky that you didn't have to wait for a combo interview, getting the ROC done is such a great feeling.

Thank you!

 

The status before was "We transferred your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, to another USCIS office that now has jurisdiction over your case." Then suddenly it changed to "We ordered your new card." yesterday. This morning it changed to "case was approved".

 

I applied in 12/27/2018. So its about 15.5 months since I applied.

 

Hope that help!

Hi Justwaiting2018. 

So happy to read your post since I'm having a very similar to your timeline and still waiting. I really regretted that I applied N-400 while I-751 is pending since the waiting seems to be stretched out endlessly. 

I really hope that my I-751 would end up like yours. 

When was your I-751's status changed to "transferred to another office"? 

Mine was transferred from Jan 2020. It's been 4 months already and still nothing

Hi Guys, I have been a silent follower of VJ for years, I think its time to come break my wonderful news and give useful tips on how I was able to scale through the crazy process with the Grace of God.

 

Total processing time for my case  : 18 months and 20 days exactly Texas SRC Filer .

 

I was sent RFE in February 2020 ,  same week we moved from our residence of 3 years ,I know  it might take forever to finally get it in new updated mail , so I  updated my new address online  and  get on the phone with USCIS Agents , the first immigration that called me was not friendly , he insisted I wait till I receive it in the mail. That might take forever.  I never gave up. I got on the phone again few days after , fortunately , a friendly officer called and emailed me the RFE immediately while we were having conversation .

 

My marriage was having issues since a year now , me and Hubby living separately since February 2020 when our lease ended , My U.S Citizen Spouse insisted she is not including me in her new lease . So you guys should note I did not submit a new lease with my RFE,  But we have enough evidence and we were very  cordial with each other and I still use  her home address for all my correspondence . You can see list of what I submitted in the cover letter sample we both wrote to USCIS and signed below.

 

Few days ago, I called to enquire about why my case was taking longer than necessary and why was it sent to local field office. 2 officers told me at different times  that it is a must that we will be invited for interview once the office is open again after covid-19. I kept praying and believing God will work miracles and as  a Muslim , Its Ramadan season and I was crying to God everyday to intervene. As I know our interview may not go well , we are not living together for now.

We really regret applying for N400 so soon. We’re at 17.5 months of waiting for I751 and we feel like it would’ve just been approved had we not applied for citizenship. The I751 was transferred to a new jurisdiction the day after we applied for citizenship and now it’s just been sitting there for months (literally half a year without being touched)... and lucky us got an RFE for the N400 because the local office was unable to download or “see” any of the docs we uploaded online, ridiculous. Sent the RFE response the next day and two weeks later radio silence and our extension runs out soon.

 

I know the status never expires, but unfortunately we need that green card or citizenship to renew licenses which conveniently expire the day the extension expires.  Our process was smooth sailing until these N400 issues and Covid closures did us in. Over it.

My case was transferred from CSC to NBC In early February, 2020. I did not hear anything back for almost 3.5 months. Then suddenly, my status changed to case approved and card is in production. Hope this helps!

Anyone here whose MSC case status is stuck with "Ready to be scheduled for an interview"?  Has anyone seen this status changed with something else without scheduling an interview? 

We have been stuck in this status since April 2019. We also applied for N400 earlier this year hoping it would speed up the process.

Same here!! My I751 got transferred 172 days ago!!!! And since then nothing. My N400 interview was supposed to be 4 days after they closed down all the offices. But who would’ve known. But I’m sure my I751 would’ve been approved a long time ago already.
