I-751 October 2017 Filers -- Part II

[vvp 30]

Hi everybody! I finally have news that I’m scheduled for I751 interview. It’s on November 21st. Haven’t filed n400. The news was given to me by my congressman after second congressional inquiry. Very symbolically that I got it today, exactly on the day that my i751 is pending for 2 years.

So, I’ve waited 210 days to actually get interview scheduled. That’s crazy long. Of course, I’ll write my experience to you guys who are still waiting.

You can look up who is your congressman based on your residence. They all have websites, go there and send him a message. Or there could be a mailing address and you can send a letter to him/her. Some people even visited to congressman office in person. Either way is ok. My congressman’s office was very helpful, they were always responding in the timely matter.

Hello all! I finally got my official interview notice in a mail. Exactly 2 weeks before the interview, I actually started worrying why I wasn’t receiving it. It looks really weird. Feels like they used somebody else’s letter and just entered my name in it.  The petition number is wrong, the c/o name is wrong. It’s a mess. At least date and time match.

Good luck. You've got this

Had combo interview on Nov 14th in New Orleans. Originally was scheduled for Sept 5th, but had to reschedule due to some job/moving changes that occurred right during then. That went pretty seamlessly and only set us back a couple of months. Started off with the N-400 interview with just my wife. She doesn’t remember all the questions she got but she got all 6 right. Called me in at the end mainly just to give me credit for showing up and the interviewing officer wanted to see our 2 year old daughter. So that portion of the interview basically just consisted of my daughter handing the officer toys and stickers while she tried to talk to me. She complimented us on the thoroughness of our file and said she didn’t need to see any of the new evidence that I had brought. Since we did move while the application was in progress she transferred the file to our new office to schedule the oath ceremony. That will probably cost us a couple of months I assume but we’ll see. At least we won’t have to travel 6 hours to New Orleans again. Glad to be (almost) done!

Ok, I guess today is my lucky day 🙂 . Had I-751 interview this morning at 7:30am in Baltimore, MD. I came there early around 7:05am. It was me and my lawyer, as I was recently divorced. We waited for around 1 hour to be called. My USCIS offices was a nice lady, she asked us in and asked where is my husband. My lawyer responded that we are a waiver case and my ex husband is not here. Officer was a little confused at first, as it was first time mention about the divorce to them. I gave her my divorce decree and explained that I was divorced 1 month ago and received my final decree only couple of weeks ago, so didn't have time to notify them. Officer was ok with it, he just made a copy and moved on. She put my case on the table and it was huge pile of papers. She asked if I want to add more evidence. I started scrambling all the bags, as I brought a lot of more evidence for recent months. As it was taking me too long to sort of put it all together, I passed all the folders to my lawyer and he was putting it all in one big pile while my interview started. I was asked simple questions from the petition: name, dob, citizenship, criminal history, etc. After that she asked couple of questions about my husband: where he lives now, his dob, his mother's name, daughter's name, etc. She asked how we met and how we broke up and why. It was a long speech for me, the officer stopped me couple of times, just to get further details in dates and places. Nothing too deep. Overall it was a pleasant experience. After that my lawyer put a consolidated pile of new evidence on her desk and she looked at it and said that she doesn't need it, as I already have a lot of evidence. On the way out, she gave a paper where it said: "Your case is being held for review. At this time, USCIS does not require any further information or documents from you. etc. etc. a final decision will be mailed once your case is complete." I felt like interview went well, it took about 15 min. 2 hours later, my case status was updated to "New Card is being produced". Finally!!! almost 25 months later. Exactly 24 months and 22 days. Thank you guys for all your support! If you are still waiting, please have hope and patience.

Though I am done with my ROC, just hopping in to say good luck to my fellow October 2017 filers who are still in the process and waiting. I didn't know until today that the 1st thread was already closed and there's a new one for the continuation of it.
