I-751 July 2021

[Gaps0214 67]

 

Hello July 2022 Filers,

 

Just updating the thread that it is now official for us. N400 case is closed, Certificate of Naturalization issued last January 24th.

 

Godspeed for everyone else waiting for their turn to be sworn in as new American citizens.

 

Cheers,

[ADAngel 40]

Hello everyone! 

 

Great news! On 1/31/23 the USCIS website updated to show that my husband's green card had been printed. On 2/1, it updated again to show that our petition was approved without an interview! His card was shipped on 2/3 and we received it yesterday, 2/6. Our service center was Nebraska.

 

We haven't applied for his citizenship and probably won't for a while, so I just wanted to update everyone with our timeline without the N-400 application.

 

To say we are relieved is a total understatement, it's such a huge weight of our shoulders to finally have a 10 year permanent residency card. The impending expiration of our extension letter was starting to cause some issues and with a trip to the UK coming up in May I was starting to freak out!

 

Did anyone else get differing estimates from VJ ranging anywhere from February 16th to May 15th? I had to stop opening them since they were freaking me out haha.

 

Anyway, there is a light at the end of the tunnel!! I wish all of you good luck and hope that your approvals are on their way! 💞

Congrats. Did you do anything special, like contacting someone or chat Emma? Same FO for N400 and LIN for I751 as you. Feb 2021 and Feb 2022!

I tried 🤣 but for I751 the system wouldn’t let me submit an inquiry at all. 

For N400 (May 2022), I was able to submit an inquiry but got a generic don’t contact us, we’ll contact you response. 

Portland doesn’t seem to be moving and I couldn’t find a dedicated N400 page for it on here. 

I hope we both get interviews soon 🍀

Thanks for your reply. It is super annoying this whole process. Seems completely random honestly... For me N400 doesn't let me submit an inquiry till Nov 2023!
Fingers crossed we will hear something soon.

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 🎉🎉

congratulation for the approval , i just have question for the writing test on the tablet do to you type the answer on the iPad screen or using the iPad keyboard to write the answer?

Anyone here passed their n400 interview but can’t be approved yet due to pending I-751? My I-751 was filed in July, 2021 and was transferred to NBC in September, 2021. 
 

 I filed n400 September, 2022 and got interview was scheduled notice in January, 2023. Today 2/14/2023 I completed my interview. 
 

Today I passed my n400 interview but the officer can’t get my oath ceremony scheduled yet because whoever has my case has to approve my i751 before I can get my oath ceremony. Is anyone on the same boat? I hope this won’t take too long  

[rohsha 10]

I751 just got approved at Nebraska service center.

Noa date 7/28/2021

2/14/2023 - new card is being produced and case was approved. 
I did get a biometrics waiver letter but never received a biometrics were applied to your case notification online.

N400 applied online on 7/26/2022 - chicago field office. Interview scheduled two times for March and both the interviews have been canceled by Uscis due to unforeseen circumstances. Waiting for a new interview date.

Looks to me like LIN is working on July 2021 files now. N400 or not. I have seen a number of people receive some sort of communication on their case. I for one got RFE last Thurs. Divorce waiver.

No interview. 
in fact no communication between biometrics Jan 2022 taken until card approved Feb 2023. 
 

Is your wife’s service center LIN? seems there were some recent LIN approvals, so hopefully you guys hear something soon.
