4+ year i-751 finally approved today. I'm so relieved.

[Chev9 9]

Long, long time lurker here. I filed my 751 originally in 2016. 

 

It's been a long ride, my 751 status didn't update from case recieved in 2016 to transferred to office in 2018. .

 

As I watched fellow filers get interview notices within a year, and acceptance I recieved no notification. I tried my best to be patient and not stress, but that is very hard.

 

I was married for almost 5 years, but my marriage collapsed before I recieved an interview notice, so ultimately switched to a divorce waiver. 

 

There's been over 10 service request enquiring why my case was taking so long, and to expedite my case, with no joy until this month. 

 

I filed my N-400 based on 5 years last year with my 751 pending and I got both 751 and 400 interview letters the same week (751 today, 400 next week). 

 

I was approved today, I am relieved beyond belief. Only you fellow immigrants know the stress we go through when we have to attend an interview that decides wether we get to keep our lives. 

 

One day I may write up the exact details of what happened with my case, but it will be very long.. and maybe boring to most of you. 

 

At the end of the day, when I was most stressed I had to remind myself 'have faith in the process'. That's honestly the best advice I can give you from my experience.

He swore me in, asked me to confirm my name and DOB, my address, my ex-wifes name, and DOB. 

 

He then said he'd get back to me with a decision and within 20 minutes I got an email an it was approved.
