Hello, I came across this thread when I was looking for answers..

 

I applied for ROC on June 20th 2020 had my biometrics in July 2021. My status changed "as for September 2021 case is ready to be scheduled for an interview). Since then I only received an extension letter in December 2020 for 2 years - but it will expire in September of this year.

 

I was hopeful that my case would have been through by then, but September is around the corner and I am about to start a new job and buy a house, so I do not want any issues because of the expiration date. 

How do I extend my status? Thank you :)

Hi @Nanestern, my husband is in the exact same boat—extension letter expires end of September. Have you had any progress with your case?

Hi all,

 

A little update from me.

 

I went to a local Social Security office to remove the restriction on my SS card. I had my driver's license with me and a bunch of other documents, but the clerk only looked at my DL and the extension letter (it was still valid for about 20 more days). He had no problem issuing a new SS card for me, and I got it in the mail a week later. If you have your unrestricted SS card and a valid ID, that's all your employer needs for employment. 

 

As far as my inquiry to USCIS (I followed an inquiry link on their website back in July, I think, because my case is outside of the processing times), I never heard anything back.

 

Today, I randomly checked my status and I got an update! It says, "As of October 18th 2022, fingerprints were taken". Obviously, I didn't provide new fingerprints, so they must've attached them back from when I got my conditional green card in 2018. I hope it means they're working on my case!

Anybody else get a notice about fingerprints recently?

ROC:
6/10/2020 - I-751 filed. Biometrics were waived.
3/19/2021 - RFE
5/20/2021 - sent a reply for the RFE
6/29/2021 - case transferred to National Benefits Center
8/30/2022 - case status updated to "Ready to be scheduled for an interview".
12/07/2021 - divorce granted (we had been having issues and the marriage didn't survive). I asked to switch my petition to Divorce Waiver and sent the request off along with my reply to the RFE.
05/31/2023 - case was updated at some point to show that my biometrics were taken (they re-used the ones I provided at AOS) and on this date, status update to "Ready to be scheduled for an interview" again.
No more updates were made; I assume this case was approved as I received my citizenship.
 
Citizenship:
2/5/2024 - filed N400 online under the 5-year rule (with pending I-751).
2/9/2024 - Interview scheduled for the end of March! The fastest I ever got anything updated! Not sure if it's a combo interview or not. Following advice here, I uploaded a simple Word doc asking to waive the ROC interview or do a combo.
3/27/2024 - Interview. It was a combo interview of both ROC and 400-N. I passed the test, but a decision could not be made as the officer had to review my 2-inch-thick ROC case file.
4/8/2024 - online status got updated that an Oath Ceremony was scheduled and that they mailed me the notice! I got it in the mail 8 days later.
5/9/2024 - Oath Ceremony. I am a U.S. citizen!!!

Update:

 

Extension letter has expired, case status still says waiting for interview. We got an InfoPass appointment after calling twice, then when my husband went to the field office for the appointment, they told him they would have given him a passport stamp but his passport is expired. So now he’s working on that.

 

If anyone else is in the same boat, if your passport is still valid, call USCIS and ask for an InfoPass appointment to get a passport stamp, let us know how it goes!

Update:

 

The case finally has an update!!! “New Card Is Being Produced”

 

We got a text and email today that the card is being produced and will be mailed in the next 30 days. It looks like they waived the interview at last. Hoping for quick resolutions for everyone else still waiting.

Have you tried submitted this form?

e-Request - Outside Normal Processing Time - Case Status Online

 

We submitted this 09/12/2022 and got case approved 11/23/2022.

 

edit: I agree this is truly ridiculous. It’s like our applications disappeared into a black hole…

Visit this page: USCIS Contact Center and click “In-Person Services” and you should see the phone number to call. Ask the automated system for an appointment or say “InfoPass” to talk to a person.

Update:  We received a letter a week ago stating we are scheduled for an interview in Atlanta next month.  We had an AOS interview about 5 years ago. Didn’t expect another one for ROC. At least there is movement after almost 3 years!

KrispyKringle, I did and after submitting it they told me I am not outside of the processing time?! It will be 3 years in June!

 

i did call USCIS and asked for an info pass appointment in July (my 2 year extension letter was expiring in September 2022) and I got an appointment in December 2022.  I received a stamp in my passport for another extension of 1 year. Is this why they say I am not outside of the processing time?
