I am MSC filer as well and haven't got any response since April 2019. Today I called USCIS and the lady said your case is outside of normal processing times and she help me file a service request for me to get an answer from my local office it seems from her conversation. Online case tracking still has no updates and last status is "Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview".

 

Lets see what the response is now. She gave me 30 days to hear back from them on the status of my case.

Hi all- we are waiting for an interview and I am wondering if anyone has noticed interviews actually being scheduled now that the offices are "open". I haven't noticed any progress on the app at all when I do, at least what I think is, a fairly wide search.

Hi again- we are preparing for the N-400 filing and I tried to get the tax return transcript from the IRS but the website malfunctions when they ask you to verify the mobile phone number. We tried twice with accounts for both my husband and I and we did it in different browsers. So then we called IRS and they don't have anyone staffing the phone lines and they are no longer doing tax transcripts by mail. Does anyone know when they'll be answering the phones again for this service? Alternatively, is there another way to get the transcript besides the online/nonexistent mail/nonexistent phone service? Also we were wondering if anyone is ONLY planning to send in the tax transcript under the section 4 from the document checklist for the N400? it says: 

4. Documents referring to you and your spouse: 

  • tax returns, leases, bank accounts, mortgages, or birth certificates of children, OR 
  • IRS certified copies of the income tax forms that you both filed for the past three years, OR 
  • An IRS tax return transcript for the last three years 

I was hoping we could just pick one option and personally I'd go for the third cause that is the most simple and straightforward. What did you guys do/What do you recommend? Did anyone send in all of the bank account statements from the past three years AND tax returns AND leases/mortgages? That seems like overkill, but then again nothing in these processes is intuitive. 

 

Finally, did anyone have issues with uploading the greencard extension letter when applying online? 

 

Thanks and please feel free to refer me to another better forum if this is not the right one.

Keep us updated........We have been waiting for an interview since May 2019.

IT Professional- Retired- Web Site Design, Hardware Maintenance, Compound Pharmacy Software Trainer, On-site go live support, Database Manager, App Designer.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

They haven’t responded to my service request yet for I-751 but I am getting some traction from my N-400 case. My estimated wait time has dropped from 2 months last week to now 29 days! Should hear about an interview within 29 days! Estimated case completion time September 2020 (3 months). :goofy:
I’m pretty sure I’ll be having a combo interview.

We are in the same boat. Only difference is that our estimated wait time as of today is 4 days and case completion time August 2020. Let’s see if we hear from them before next week. We also have service ticket pending for 751 for taking longer than usual since may 22
