Just got out of our I-751 interview - way easier than I thought it would be! 

 

Security seemed a bit more intense than usual (I needed to take off some of my jewelry to go through the metal detector and they used to just tell me to leave it on), but the place was mostly empty so there was no line. I got my flu shot at work yesterday, so I was kind of paranoid I might be running a slight fever, but they didn't even check temperatures and just asked some general questions instead. 

 

We were sent to the waiting room - where a bunch of seats were blocked off for social distancing - and were there with a few other people. Our interview was scheduled for 9, but we only got called in around 9:30. Our interviewer was really pleasant and soft-spoken, and his office was filled with stuff from the local professional sports teams so my husband was immediately comfortable haha. He swore us in and then asked for our IDs and 2019 tax return. I also mentioned that I'd brought our lease renewal, bank statements from the time of the original filing of the I-751 to now (he only took the 2020 ones), a few more pictures, and our most recent insurance documents showing we're both covered under the same plans, so he took all of that too. He said that we have a lot of evidence on file and that I'm very organized, and showed me all of the paperwork we've submitted through this process so far. It was A LOT, but I also told him that I know there are people who submit a lot more and he laughed.

 

We were having a really general conversation while he photocopied and compiled everything - mostly with him saying I should apply for citizenship before the cost goes up - when he suddenly said "alright, we're just about done here. Just need to go through the form and we can get you guys on your way!" He went to the I-751 application, verified all of our information in it, and asked my husband the only question he asked either of us about each other: "when's your anniversary?" He jokingly said he always asks the guy because the girl will know, and my husband said "I mean, it's coming up in a couple of weeks so I SHOULD know!" and the interviewer laughed.

 

After we were done, the interviewer talked a lot about how to file the naturalization paperwork before the deadline because it'll save money. He also said that, because the case file already has so much evidence, I could just submit the most recent documents from 2020 and be fine, and that the interview would only be in "4-6 months" so I'd still have time to study. 

 

All of my case trackers had updated to "new card ordered" by the time we got home, so now we just have to decide we want to spend another $600 and get paperwork together to keep going immediately. Good luck to everyone still in the I-751 process!

Hello everyone! So I just wanna update you all with my process. I filed for i751 cr1 visa last year and got my noa on oct 2nd 2019 its about to be a year and I should receive my green card anytime soon based on the google sheet. At least I hope so. I went to see my lawyer with all my paperwork for N-400 on monday and Im good to go, so I will apply this next monday  which is exactly 90 days prior my 3 year green card anniversary. Im really nervous because I still dont have my 10 year one but I hope that it may arrive this week or next week so when I apply they can already start the n400 process. I will let you guys know if anything changes. As of now im still in the waiting game. 
 

Oh by the wAy the fees to apply for citizenship are going to be increased on oct 2nd 2020 from $725 to $1200 so I advice anybody that can apply before to apply so its cheaper.

Hello everyone! Im happy to let you know that today I checked the app and it says new card is being  produced!! I sent my papers for citizenship the 29th and the lawyer said they should’ve received it on the 30th, no noa yet on that but I assume they did look at it because now they lifted my conditions. I wish everybody the best in this process and in life. Hope all your dreams come true, I know we all share this american dream and I truly wish you all the same or more happiness im feeling right now. Best

Good Morning all. 

 

Lincoln filer from October 2019.

 

Filed Removal of Conditions 10/28/2019

NOA/Extension 11/01/2019

Fingerprints 02/07/2020

Approval online this morning 10/05/2020

 

It said it was approved October 2nd on the website, I guess maybe there's some delay built into the website since it didn't say approved until today. I track all the cases around mine, so I was getting a bit anxious that everyone near me was getting RFEs or approvals (one guy transferred to another Jurisdiction too) in the last couple of weeks but nothing for me! Good news came this morning when I refreshed at 2am!

It would seem that cases that get chosen intentionally or at random can take 1-5yrs depending on case load at local CIS office.

 

I filed in Sept 2019 and looks like our case may not get touched (aside from two transfers) until middle to end of 2021.
