I-751 April 2018 Filers (Part 2)

[Ari Gold 1]

My interview is scheduled for 09/17. Does anyone know what items are prohibited at USCIS offices? I'll be bringing my 1year old daughter, her stroller, baby food, etc.

I got my RFE July 21st, and I sent the packet of evidence to Texas recently. I got an update saying that they had received the packet on August 27th and that they were working on my case again. It's only been a week for me, but I still check the status often!

Update for other April 2018 filers. My RFE (to Texas) was approved and updated to "New Card Is Being Produced". Overall from Texas receiving my RFE to taking action took 15 days.

i believe you will now be in the 20th Month range of filing now right ? Did you try calling and request for update ?

It is correct. I would suggest checking it on https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ 

All the apps get their data from there.

I think you're still within normal waiting times. Some peoples RFE's have taken up to two months to process.

02/23/2019: Biometric waiver letter
03/18/2019: Filed N-400
03/18/2019: N-400, we received your application
03/23/2019: We scheduled your biometrics appointment for N-400
04/12/2019: We reviewed your biometrics for N-400
08/15/2019: We scheduled your interview for N-400
08/16/2019: I-751 Case transferred & new office has jurisdiction (NBC)
08/16/2019: I-751 Case was received at my local office
09/17/2019: Combo interview conducted, no decision can be made

 

Interview Experience:
Our interview was scheduled at 11:45a CT at Chicago Field Office. We (me, spouse & kid) arrived an hour early, completed checked in procedures by 11:15a CT and were waiting to be called. There is no order in which applicants are called in for the interview, it's random.

 

Finally at 12:15p CT, I was called in (not spouse & kid). Took oath to speak the truth. Officer was very professional & explained the entire process that requires him to adjudicate I-751 first in order to adjudicate N-400. There I saw my 5" thick I-751 petition on his desk. 

 

He first went over I-751 petition line by line to verify/update. At the end, he asked me questions & noted down a timeline of how/when/where me & my spouse met, my status at the time, engagement, wedding, etc. I signed his response on the petition.

 

Then we moved on to N-400. Started with Civics test, 6 questions asked, I got all of them correct. (1) Civil Rights Movement led by MLK (2) 100 Senators in Congress (3) POUTS leads Executive Branch (4) George Washington is FF (5) 2 Cabinet Positions (6) Allegiance to US. He asked me to read a sentence & write one. Passed reading & writing test.

 

We then went over N-400 application line by line to verify/update. Asked yes/no questions. Although he did go out of context to ask me if I understood what a "genocide" is? (WEIRD, but I answered).

Finally, I gave him continued evidence - tax returns, insurance, bank statements, mortgage statements, health insurance, etc. I was then handed N-682 stating that I passed civis & english test, however a decision could not be made. He was courteous to inform me that he had to request CSC to grant him permission to approve I-751 first (WHY WASN"T THIS DONE AS PART OF CASE TRANSFER, UGHH) and then he would approve N-400 which should take about a week or so.

 

We'll see, one step closer.

Because I am a divorce waiver, interview is normal.  No RFE.

My research and docs are impeccable, thanks to Visa Journey.

 

Would you mind sharing the evidence you submitted?
