Should I Contact USCIS about Situation with I-751/N-400 Interview?

Hi geff44,

 

Thank you for sharing your experience. Your "wasted day" is essentially what I would like to avoid. It seems like it would be on USCIS's best interest if there was a mechanism to "remind" them that both applications are in their possession and both should be going to the same office for the purposes of the interview.

 

I mean, the system is already so slow because of the sheer amount of applications... It would be nice to avoid these "clerical slip-ups", but if the majority advocate calm and patience, then I shall follow those suggestions. 

 

Having said that, would it make sense for me to contact USCIS solely based on the fact that my I-751 is outside normal processing time? (The last update on my I-751 was a transfer to Lee's Summit in December 2018).

I have a feeling yours could be a combo interview. Have a wait and see attitude.    The only field office I have read in this forum anyway  that had to  postpone the N400 interview  if the I 751 is pending is the San Jose USCIS office.  Of course this is such a small sample to conclude so it could or might not ever  happen to any other local office.

Happened to me in February too.... didn't have all of my I-751 file apparently (which I was told after waiting for four hours) - despite my case status clearly showing transfer of I-751 to local office in early 2018 shortly after I filed my N-400.

Promised an expedited new interview date, which given that was now over 100 days ago, was a total lie, so back waiting. Again.

If it happens in San Jose and if it happens in New York... it can happen in Los Angeles too.

 

I can think of no better term for this than a "clerical slip-up". Two different field offices with two different applications not on the same page. Is there really no course of action to put them on the same page?

 

As I said in the OP, I don't mind waiting, but the false hope of a wrongly scheduled interview is a waste of time and energy for everyone involved. I would much rather the USCIS agent processes someone else's application that's ready.
