Yep, plenty of us.  You can take a look at the spreadsheet here.  No EAC approvals yet (at least, none reported on the Google Doc).  

 

Husband just entered N400 territory, we'll file that as soon as the USCIS website is fully operational!  Getting a 500 error when trying to log in, ha.  What else would you expect?

Has anyone that filed N-400 while their I751 is pending filed the form I-912 for filing fee waiver?  Do you think it would be a good idea to file this filing fee waiver in terms of processing time etc? I am EAC filer by the way..

We are EAC but my case was transferred to NBC.

I guess I am first EAC to get approved, since we got the "New Card is being produced today" unless it's cheating because my case was transferred to NBC.

 

BTW, I filed for N-400 on November 16 2021. On the very next day Nov 17th 2021 my I-751 case was transferred to National Benefits Center.  Seems likely that the filing of the N-400 resulted in the I-751 being transferred and finally resulted in the "New card" today. 

 

I'm curious if others are going to see similar results with their I-751 being expedited by the filing of the N-400 or if my case being transferred one day later was coincidence.

Had my interview today and approved.

 

Super easy, they can tell by the information you send in and they way you are as a couple that you are genuine. 

 

Good luck to the rest of the I-175's, I'm sending in my N400 now, might as well get that one rolling.

Congrats!

 

i agree, it’s super easy!  We were only in the IO’s office for about 10 minutes. He asked about 4 simple basic questions while he went thru the packet we submitted.  
 

told us all looked good then asked if we like to submit any additional documents. 
 

few days later status shows “New card being produced”.  
 

2 years of unnecessary stress and worrying. 
 

my wife wants to wait a while before filling her n400.  She said she needs a break from USCIS!  😁

Your wife is right. Congrats! Did you have  interview first time as well for 2 year Green Card.

I looked at a few EAC I-751 cases. Looks like Vermont has begun approving Dec 2020 applicants. This gives me hope.

Congrats! I'm at 11 months waiting. Kinda hesitant on filing N-400 because from reading other threads it seems that sometimes they stop processing I-751 once N-400 is filed. Not sure if your case proves different. Could be coincidence or maybe it varies depending on processing center.

Haven't had any movement on 'Ready to be scheduled for Interview' to scheduled since Nov 17 for MSC for a CR1 application. Any one else experiencing similar delays? Any insights?

I think we would file the N-400 ASAP no matter the impact on the I-751, since the N-400 being approved faster would be well worth the annoyance of the I-751 taking longer. 

 

But, as I said, it seems that the filing of the N-400 spurred them to transfer my case to NBC, which resulted in my case going faster. Maybe the whole thing is just random

My biometrics wasn't waived. I had them done back in July of 2021.
