I think you need to file i-90 but it will take another 20 months based on uscis processing times. How is the spelling error in there if the forms have or correct?

Note I had a minor usps scare. Usps mis delivered package on June 28th Thursday. I waited for  day in case it shows up (in hindsight should have immediately gone next day). I went in usps on july3rd Monday and also tmed to mail main and attempted to track this down. Luckily as of today gc is delivered.

 

Note never had issues of package mis delivery but one idea could be to pick up green card directly at post office if possible. Also subscribe to usps mail delivery to know what packages are incoming that day.

We are Potomac too unfortunately. They are taking 29 months as average processing time so says the USCIS timeline. Don’t go by Visa Journey one.

Local office usually plays an important role in processing times, too.

Many I-751 get sent to local offices.

The online status says request for additional evidence was sent in June. I didn't receive any notice so I requested a copy. Out of no where, an approval notice was delivered in the mail.

Hope everyone hear good news soon!

Seeking Advice: We received an RFE requesting more evidence. Reading the notice, it lists the evidence I sent as being only bank information and a couple of affidavits. Knowing that I sent WAY more than that, I can only assume they lost the other documents (wedding items, photos of us together, shared insurance info, and a third affidavit. We are both older adults so nothing to send regarding children.) I am pulling together as much information as I can to prove my husband and I have been married for nearly five years now, along with making new copies of the original evidence I sent. 

 

Should I bind these things so they don't lose them? I had numbered them and provided a table of contents previously but left them loose in their envelope last time.

Just an update.  I checked my case status online to find a surprise.  It says New card is being produced after not hearing anything since late April 2022 when I inquired about the biometrics, which they used the previous biometrics.  The date is for July 25, which is tomorrow so I'm not sure why the status updated today.  Cross my fingers, hopefully everything went though and good luck to everybody.  Hopefully cases are being processed through the end of 2021.  FYI, my filing date was the end of 12/2021 and the service center was in California.

My I-751 status updated to approved this past week (filed end of Dec 2021 at NSC). I had also filed N-400 in Feb 2023. 2 days after I-751 approval, N-400 status updated to interview scheduled!

Hello everyone,

 

I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to share my recent experience of passing the interview earlier this week to help others going through a similar process.

 

Here is the timeline of my application:
 

- Applied for I-751 in 12/21/2021
- Applied for N-400 online on 12/23/22.

- Received the receipt notice on 12/23/22.

- My interview was scheduled for 06/05/23.

- The interview was held on 07/25/23.
 

I applied under the 3-year rule based on my marriage, with a pending I-751 in Chicago, IL.
 

On the day of the interview, I arrived at the Chicago local office and went to the second floor, where I stood in line with my appointment letter. The officer took my details and asked me to wait for my turn. I patiently waited until 9 am, but nobody called me. Feeling concerned, I approached the officer's desk to inquire about the delay. She informed me that the wait time shouldn't exceed an hour. She took my details again, and shortly after, they called my name.

 

As my I-751 application was still pending, the officer conducted a combo interview and also called in my husband for the interview. We both took an oath to speak the truth during the interview.

 

The officer began with the I-751 interview, going through the case file I had submitted two years ago. She asked me about my name, date of birth, my husband's name, and his date of birth. She inquired about how we met, where and when we got married, the location of our wedding, our honeymoon destination, and our travel history since marriage. She also asked about the proposal and the attendees at our wedding, inquired about children, and asked about the place I lived when I first met my husband. Additionally, she questioned us about the number of countries and cities we have visited together. I provided various supporting documents to prove that we are living together, including lease agreements, joint house insurance, joint bank account statements, all travel tickets and hotel reservations from the past three years, over 25 pictures of us together, joint phone bill, car insurance, and tax transcripts for the last three years. She also asked if we owed any money to the IRS, to which I informed her that we had a small amount owed but that it was already paid off during our tax filings. Unfortunately, we didn't have evidence of the payment, so she asked us to log in to our IRS account, take a screenshot, and email it to her. Thankfully, we were able to do so, and after reviewing everything, she approved our I-751 case. She did not ask any questions to my husband during this part of the interview.

 

Following the I-751 interview, she proceeded with the N-400 interview. She asked for my name, current address, my husband's name, his date of birth, and all previous addresses where we have lived since moving to the US. She inquired about the countries I have visited since entering the US. She also checked our transcripts again and inquired about any outstanding taxes. I confirmed again that we had a small amount owed but that we had already paid it to the IRS while filing taxes. She asked if she could use the same screenshot I had shared earlier as evidence, and I said yes. Then she moved on to the civics questions:

 

1.       How many years do we elect a president for?

2.       What is the rule of law?

3.       How many U.S. Senators are there?

4.       What does the President's Cabinet do?

5.       Why does the flag have 13 stripes?

6.       What group of people was taken to America and sold as slaves?
 

After that, she asked me to read a sentence (I don't remember) and write a sentence (New York was the first capital city) in English. She then asked me some yes or no questions. Next, she asked if I wanted to change my name, and I said yes. She confirmed my new name and address and asked me to sign. Then she congratulated me and approved my N-400 application. I inquired if my oath ceremony could be expedited as I have travel plans on August 24. She said she would try her best, but changing the name takes time as it needs to go through the court, and the judge has to sign and approve it. I left the office at 9:30 am. To my surprise, within 2 hours, my status changed to "oath will be scheduled." The next day, my status changed again, and my oath was scheduled for August 16, which left me in shock. On the same day, my I-751 status changed to "approved." Now I am eagerly waiting for my oath ceremony. Finally, the long process is over!
