I guess they're hoping I get tired waiting and then file for citizenship somewhere down the line.

Yep.  They can collect your I-751 fee, then just sit on it until you pay again for the N-400.  Two fees for a single interview.  What a racket.  At least, we are done with USCIS forever.  No more address change reporting, no more trying to get an infopass appointment, no more keeping up with extension letters, no gathering evidence, and my wife can help vote the bums out of office!!

Not sure of how long this member @OldUser awaits by now but doesn’t want to file N-400 either. 

Since end of November 2021 😊

Will keep updated whenever I get I-751 approved.

Quick progress update (ROC was finally approved last week!):

• 10/4/2021 - Filed I-751 - assigned to LIN (Nebraska)
• Oct 2021 - fingerprints reused
• 10/1/2022 -  Filed N400 
• 12/9/2022 - N400 Interview Scheduled (Chicago FO)
• 1/23/2023 - Combo interview at Chicago FO. I-751 part was relatively easy (wife was required to attend as well), officer asked for proof of jointly filed taxes for 2021 and nothing else. Passed the civics test but was given a notice for N-400 that case must be reviewed (apparently they had to request I-751 case files to be transferred from Nebraska).
• 3/10/2023 - I-751 case transferred to NBC
• 4/6/2023 - I-751 Approved
• 4/10/2023 - N-400 recommended for approval and placed in oath line

There seems to be some issue with ROC cases in Nebraska that delays approvals post N-400 interview. I was preparing to get congressman and/or lawyers involved as the 120 day deadline since N-400 interview was approaching but glad that didn't have to go down that route.

 

Best of luck to everyone else - looks like October 2021 filers (even with Nebraska SC) are now seeing some movement.

Hey all. Texas service center here. Just got my greencard extension for 48 months letter.

My husband applied for  ROC on 10/21/2021. Today he got a message that card is being produced. He applied for N-400 on 1/27/2023 and the last message he received is that it is being actively reviewed!! Almost done!!

Not yet. I had been on the fence about applying. We’re in the process of moving to a different state, so we’re waiting until that’s done first. Really seems like they are trying to push citizenship 

USCIS has been known to turn and change on a dime, what you are on the fence about today might be sorrow tomorrow. I say get it while the getting is good, don't wish you had later!

We don't have the slightest bit of hope right now.  We even wrote to one of our senators whose office sent an inquiry on our behalf.  Over a month has passed and not a word from the senator's office or the USCIS.  Gee, that sure helped.

 

The Boston office isn't moving and should be ashamed of itself.  There should be an investigation of that office because something is not right over there.

 

So many couples have leapfrogged us from other offices.  I am happy for those people who achieve their goals but what is happening to some of us is just not right.
