Was your case not moved when you sent the N400? My i751 case was moved a few days after submitting the N400, idk if it helped but under mandatory documents I submitted the expired gc and the extension letter, I also added a cover letter detailing that a i751 was pending and asked for a combo interview 🤷🏽‍♀️ just rolling dice basically 😁 but am remaining positive towards a good outcome, so if you didn’t upload a copy of your extension letter try it, good luck friend 🍀 

Nope, we didn't get any notice of the I-751 paperwork being moved after submitting our N-400.

 

We uploaded the mandatory documents for N-400, plus a few more updated evidence after the I-751 was filed including health and medical insurance, and other financial disclosures.

 

The latest unsolicited evidence we uploaded was the IRS tax transcripts, and a full copy of the I-751 application packet and the 797-C Notice of Action extending the validity of our green card.

 

I will take your advise to upload a letter of request for combination adjudication of both the I-751 and N-400.

 

Thank you for writing back.

 

Cheers,

G&A

Hi all, just checking in. 

My case status:

 

January 26, 2022 Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken

July 16, 2021 We received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence.

 

I feel like it's been so long since January... I have my 24 month extension letter which means I should be set till 9/25/23 but nerves are starting to kick in.

 

Anybody else in this boat? I am not interested in the citizenship right now.

 

Also does anybody have experience with traveling internationally on this extension? I'd like to visit family Spring 2023 but I don't want to risk anything obviously.

 

Thanks!!

I travelled abroad on an expired GC with original copies of the extension letters.

 

No issue at return check in counter, airlines know about this.

 

No issue at US port of entry as well.

 

Go ahead make that trip.

 

My I-751 status has not changed 488 days now and is still at "Case Received". My documents are in LIN.

 

I went for an N-400 interview two weeks ago, and while the IO said I passed the interview, I will have to wait for the an invitation to take the oath because my I-751 still needs to be reviewed.

 

So, if you are eligible for naturalization, it's all online, and you have 30 days to finish an application from starting the process. You can upload as many evidences as you wish including unsolicited ones.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers,

Hi Sellamalola,

 

My apologies I didn't get back to this thread when I completed my N-400 interview.

 

So that N-400 interview happened as scheduled, I brought my husband to the appointment but the IO declined to accommodate a combo interview on the pending I-751.

 

I passed the N-400 interview and was given Form N-652 Naturalization Interview Results.

 

I got checked for passing the English test and the U.S. history and government test, and Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval (At this time it appears you have established your eligibility for naturalization, if final approval is granted, you will be notified of when and where to report for your naturalization ceremony).

 

After the N-400 interview the IO told me that she will look into the I-751 A-file and if everything is in order, there should be no need for another interview, and I should look out for the oath-taking invitation in the mail.

 

Interview consisted of confirming N-400 information, then the naturalization test, 5 civics questions, a one-time English writing exercise on an iPad (write what the IO says), then the declaration part with Yes and No answers. Altogether the interview took less than 15 minutes in and out the door.

 

It is now roughly 2 weeks since the N-400 interview, and my online account still shows unchanged status of I-751 and N-400 applications. 

 

Its not unreasonable to expect that there is going to be some more waiting time, after all my GC extension letter doesn't expire until October 2023.

 

But it would've been nice if all this is behind me so life can move forward to intended goals, like more meaningful and fulfilling work.

 

Cheers,

G&A

Hey guys, I noticed I didn’t update this thread however, my i751 was automatically approved after my N400 interview on 12/12, no additional interview needed, my oath ceremony is in a few days which means: I HAVE FINALLY GRADUATED FROM USCIS 🎉🇺🇸 👩🏽‍🎓🇺🇸, to anyone on this thread still waiting, best of luck 🍀🍀🍀

Hello July 2021 Filers,

 

Updating the thread that we have now been issued a USCIS Form N-4405 Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony for January 2023.

 

This would be a few days over 18 months to the day from the filing of I-751 Removal of Conditions via Lockbox and assigned to LIN Nebraska for processing.

 

This would be a few days over 6 months to the day from the filing of N-400 Application for Naturalization via Online and processed in Seattle, WA. 

 

You can see more details in my timeline.

 

The journey is almost over and we are very grateful and appreciate all of you in this forum for keeping us company along the way. 

 

Happiest new year to everyone,

 

G&A😊

Hello all - I just noticed that the YSC# before and after my number were approved back in December 2022. But mine and several others close to my receipt number haven’t been approved yet. Just wondering if the receipt #s are processed randomly or in an order. Doesn’t seem orderly to me but just wondering. 
 

according to VJ, I should be expecting a result anytime now so let’s see. How’s everyone wait been?

January 2023 just begun, and December 2022 just finished. Give it a little time!

Does one need to update address on DL if place of residence has changed since filing for I751 but N400 has the new address? I have made USCIS aware of address change already so I’m just wondering if DL needs to match the current place of residence. I didn’t change cities or even a county. Same county and city but just a different address. Please lmk, thanks!

Yes, always update your DL after moving to a new address. Many, if not all States, require you to do that.

Ok guys this is it! I am officially a US citizen 🎉🎉🎉 oath ceremony took place at the Federal Plaza room 310 at 1 on 1/11, my husband accompanied me but was not allowed into the room, I first made a line where I provided my appointment letter signed and dated, along with my old green card and work permit, they gave me the certificate, checked that everything was correct and then was asked to go into room 300 cause 310 was full, they gave us two envelopes, one with a letter from President Biden congratulating us and the other a USCIS package with instructions on life as a citizen, passport application, national anthem, pledge of allegiance and oath of allegiance and a tiny US flag, after that an officer gave a speech from the other room which we watched on a big screen, we all said the oath in unison, they congratulated us, we cheered and clapped and off we went, they asked us if we wanted to take pictures next to a US flag to go to the second floor and we all did, I waved both of my flags 🇺🇸🇩🇴 and I’m so damn happy and proud to finally being an American, it’s been my dream for as long as I can remember and it finally happened, if anyone would know about my immigration story, they would understand how important this achievement was for me and for all of us immigrants that came to this country full of hopes and dreams that are unfolding for us all. The entire process took about maybe 1/2 hr so it was quick, I took longer dolling up lol I looked like a congresswoman 😁to all of you still waiting I wish nothing but speed and good luck with your new American lives 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 

ps: I am learning the lyrics to the national anthem from that uscis pamphlet and will upload it to tiktok, will sing it better than fergie 😬 if you find it you find it 🤭

 

Good luck amigos 👍🏽 🍀 

attached my very last USCIS update 🎉🎉

Hey all, got an update due to citizenship application! I submitted N-400 in July 2022 in Cincinnati, got an interview notice for N-400 in mid-January, and then a few days later got an interview notice for I-751 (same place and time, so combo interview).
