account, the letter not added to the Documents tab or anything

It can’t be added to the documents tab since the 751 Is not an application you can fill online.

I know, but I added it to my account and kind of hoped that this would also trigger digital notifications, but unfortunately not the case..

Got my stepdaughter's approval today! Filed DEC 2021, got an RFE in NOV 2022, replied two days later, and just got the "New Card" update... all in November! And they processed the I-751 in less than a year.

 

She came in on a CR visa and her I-751 interview was waived... so it appears the interview waivers are definitely real. However, she is <14 y/o and her mom's I-751 was approved without interview in JULY 2022, so that may have made things a bit easier.

 

With that said our immigration journey is done for the next 10 years (unless someone wants to file an N-400... which my happen)!!

 

BIG THANKS to all the members on here for all the wisdom, reports, and advice.

Just a quick update: N400 interview scheduled on 12/8/2022. It's combo interview for both I751 and N400. Officer did asked for USC spouse to come in and interview both of us.I751 interview really simple since our case is solid. N400 was the same: standard civil test questions, Yes and No questions on the N400 form, then reading and writing on the tablet. Status changed to oath ceremony will be scheduled 30 mins after we left Dallas field office.

We had been waiting since March 2019.  But, in Aug 2022, we filed my wife's N-400. 4 months later, both the I-751 and N-400 were approved during a combo interview.

 

Took 44 months to approve the I-751

Took 4 months to approve the N-400.

Both approved during combo interview on Dec 14, 2022

My wife will become a citizen in 3 days.

 

My advice is to file for citizenship as soon as eligible.

Removal of conditions

 

Filed in May 2021

Receipt number starts with MSC

Case status shows  On Jan 12, 2022, we are ready to schedule for your interview. No progress on file since then. 

 

Is anyone else waiting? Should we call USCIS for update?

My case has been “ready to be scheduled for an interview” since March 2022 as well. I hope I’ll receive the 48 month extension letter soon because my extension letter will expire later this year.

I suggest you call USCIS about the 48 months extension letter. This may trigger your case to move further and get an approval hopefully with no interview. This happened with me and got approval today. New card being produced. My case has been ready to be scheduled for interview since JAN 2022.

I just chatted with Emma, they said that they haven't started sending out the 48-month extension letters yet (I think they meant for existing applications) and that my case was still processing. I hope that this maybe also triggered them to move, but I am not hopeful

[Ma08716 1]

Mine shows that it’s ready to be scheduled since November 2021, n400 actively reviewed since oct 2022, just submitted Foia couple days ago, idk if I made it more complicated by doing this or no but any thoughts/experiences will be appreciated

My I-751 is still pending, and my 24month extension will expire soon, do I need to get the I-551 stamp before I receive the 48 month extension letter? Will I lose my legal status if the 24 month extension expires and I don’t have the temporary evidence stamp?? 
Thank you in advance!
