My husband and I attended our Interview at the San Antonio Texas office. No questions other than how we met and verifying our address as we have moved a few times.  After interview we were told it would be 30 to 60 days before hearing anything and yesterday evening I checked the status and it had already changed to Card being produced. Anyone else have that quick of a turn around?

Yeah they were behind with the initial process for ROC. We g ou t to extension notifications. But the actual interview which they say is now required for all I751 was gonna be another 20 to 60 days before we knew anything. But the status was updated just 2 days after the interview. Glad its finally over. 😊

Who told you this? 

"The US immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  It is quite a journey!"

- Some old child of the 50's & 60's on his laptop 

 

Senior Master Sergeant, US Air Force- Retired (after 20+ years)- Missile Systems Maintenance & Titan 2 ICBM Launch Crew Duty (200+ Alert tours)

Registered Nurse- Retired- I practiced in the areas of Labor & Delivery, Home Health, Adolescent Psych, & Adult Psych.

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..

I read it on their website. Before the use to waive them if all was in order but I believe it said all applicants are now required to have an interview for ROC especially if your original one was waived for AOS and ours was.

@HGH is tracking cases.  Several recent cases have not required interviews.....

That's great. Even though ours wasn't bad at all. Simple and to the point, I hear some arent that lucky.

In all honesty, I think I-751 interviews are a waste of resources.  In the 1st quarter of FY 2019, it appears that only 3 percent of cases were initially denied........If those denied cases were then appealed & 75% were approved, the actual overall denial rate would be less than 1%..........so why even conduct them?

True because they ask for the same information. All the paperwork I sent to them is the same documentation I took. We have been married 4 years now and it's on the up and up. No fraud but our of love for each other. I just feel how can their perception determine if my marriage is real or not. Unfortunately there are some who do and because of them we have to jump thru hoops to prove our marriage is real.

Well, we were never interviewed for AOS or ROC, and I still see this happening to those filing, so I think it's reasonable that a person with a strong enough case and evidence can make it through without a single interview at all.
