We just received our interview date through the MSC for Feb 10th 2022. Has anyone ever had to reschedule? We are currently out of the country and with the new Covid protocol you need to be back within 10 days of the interview which we will not be. We would rather not cut our trip short but we also don't want to disrupt this process. The letter does state you will not be penalized for rescheduling but we have waited for so long and don't know what to do. Thank you for any advice. 

I have seen the attempts to reschedule fail, and then as a consequence, case is denied. I wouldn’t risk it.

I think I misread the letter because I read it quite fast. We are fully vaccinated and should be good to go flying back internationally. We DO NOT want to reschedule.

hi everyone thanks for helping each other here.

do you guys use any mobile app to track the status of your cases? if yes, can you share which apps?

Some news here, original office was YSC but it was transferred to NBC last week to "speed up processing". I filed 400 back in NOvember. Any idea what this means?

 

If the notice had said they transferred 751 to NBC to schedule an interview it would be simple but I am confused if it means I'm approved for 751 or if I'll get a combo interview?

 

Any thoughts from this group?

We had the exact same experience!

Filed our I-751 on Nov. 3, 2020, and it was sent to the YSC. I then filed my N-400 online exactly a year later on Nov. 2, 2021. I got a letter dated Dec. 14, 2021, saying that our I-751 was transferred to the NBC to "speed up processing." No updates ever since, and I am not sure what this means. I guess that, since we both filed our N-400 recently, it might have something to do with it.

3. NBC received your N-400 and you sent a copy of your I-751 receipt, the officer who is reviewing your application realizes that your case is still pending but since you added new evidence that you are still married to the citizen, the officer requested your packet to YSC to then process both applications.  here 2 things can happen. 
(1) The officer receives your I-751 along with the notes of  last officer who reviewed your case, based on those notes and the new evidence you sent in your N-400, the officer can approve your I-751 and continue to process your N-400 . OR 

(2) If the officer agrees with the notes, 2 things can happen.

(2.1) schedule an interview for your I-751 only.

(2.2) schedule an interview for you N-400 and I-751. 

I did not send a copy of our I-751 receipt with the N-400. The online form simply didn't ask for a receipt of it, just for pictures of my green card. It didn't occur to me to send a copy of the I-751 NOA until a few days later, but it was too late. However, can't they see in the system that one has a pending I-751???

For single payer universal health care proponents out there, this is what life would be like with your health care with the government in charge... waiting in line for needed services while you waste away.

 

Finally, this is not true, and I'm from South America, not some fancy European country. I worked as a primary care physician there in our universal health care system for years. Appointments with me were often same- or next-day. The most someone would wait was 5 days, or they could choose another doctor in our practice who had sooner availability. Appointments with specialists were a few weeks or months out, depending on my judgement of the urgency of their condition. Same for elective procedures. All of that with an awful and corrupt government bureaucracy; I think America could do better. However, this is beside the topic of this forum.

USCIS can see everything using only your A### ### ### number so don’t worry 😉.

It is always good to add your receipt so that they can see that you are aware of both cases and that you expect a response soon.

The fact that uscis has transferred your case is a good sign that they are processing your N400 but in order to adjudicate this case they need to approve and close I-751.

Yesterday we got a change in status. Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview. Does this mean anything like AOS? Endless months of waiting for an actual date to be set for the interview.  We had an interview already for AOS.  We have a pending N-400 under the 3 year rule. Any chance of them waiving the ROC interview?

Not much chance of them changing their mind about interviewing you. You will likely have a joint interviews for the ROC and n400 together.

Not sure if the N400 helped or not, filed N400 in late December and wife's 10 year green card came mid January! Showing 12 month ETA for N400 on the portal now.

 

 

Thanks everyone for all the help walking through this process!!

Did you do K-1 or spousal visa?  Hopefully this will happen to us too. It's been over 1 year since we file for ROC

We did adjustment on marriage from a tourist visa. Our total time was about 14 months, November 2020 to January 2022.

I just got this, I think my N-400 I filed in December 2021 activated this: 

 

Case Transferred To Another Office
On February 11, 2022, we transferred your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number YSCxxxxxxxxxx, to another office for processing and sent you a transfer notice. The notice explains why we transferred your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your notice by March 13, 2022, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

Hi everyone!!

MSC here. I got my appointment letter in the mail past week for an interview next March 10th.

I filed N400 on December 30th and already had that biometrics done past month (even when i had them done for the i751 too on July 2021).

I submitted the i751NOA with my N400 documents and also added a cover letter asking to have a combo interview.

Now my n400 status says Case  actively been reviewed ( or something like that)

Do you guys think i should go "prepared" for both interviews in case they decide there to do it in that same moment? 

I would like to hear your thoughts ☺️

Thank you to you all for your help!

And best luck to everyone!

YOU GUYS! My N400 interview got scheduled!!! Back in december they transferred by 751 to NBC for faster processing and today I got the N400 interview. 

 

Should I take my partner with me to the N400 interview? They notice does not say anything about 751, only about N400... I assume this will be a combo interview? THANKS, I CAN'T believe we are SO close to the end!!!!

Wow!!! Congrats. I think it will be a Combo interview for you, Please take your partner with you and prepare for both N-400 and I-751. On the other hand, miracle can happen, you may see your 10yrs card in the mail shortly since nothing is said about your I-751.

 

I filed N400 in December 2022, YSC was transferred from YSC to NBC in February 2022. I should be expecting my interview anytime April/May going by your timeline.

So i Had my i751 interview past week. My US husband was called first by a very intimidating officer. We were the first couple of the day. Several others couples showed up and they where called by more "easy" officers that have them interviewed for less than 10 minutes in some cases. Here meanwhile i was waiting for more than 40 minutes until the officer came out to call me. He had me for another almost 40 minutes asking all kind of questions and matching my stories with my husband's. He ended being very friendly and told us he was satisfied with the interview but they have to do security checks and etc etc and that i will get an answer or if he needs more evidence will let me know. And here i am already 8 days and waiting. My case changed the same day to "Initial Review".

I guess i have to keep playing this lovely waiting game again...
