Has anyone received any updates? I’m feeling frustrated. All I know is that the fingerprints were waived for the biometrics. That was months ago. Come January it will be 1 year not hearing anything. What are even the possibilities at this point? Immediate approval and send a new green card, an RFE, a home visit, or another interview?  

Fill in your timeline that would help you and others as they respond to your questions.

All three are possible.

I have sort of decided to forget about the 751 as much as I can and move on with my life until next February, when I’ll file for N400

I’m planning on filing my N 400 too, I thought I had to wait until my full 3 yrs though and file in April… but I’m assuming you are saying you can file 90 days in advance?

It's the same as your 751, you can file 90 days prior to your 3 year residency anniversary. However, because the receiving computers seem to be on PST, I would advise you not to file exactly on the 90 day mark because it might be rejected. We have seen some cases like that here. So just wait two or three days after.

Yes that's  correct 90 days before!

Hey guys, Feb 2022 filer here but keeping an eye out in this thread because its right before ours. :) I wanted to ask, how come in the processing times it says May 2021 cases for CSC but I'm already seeing November 2021 cases  being approved by CSC in this forum?

Is there anything special you need to do if your i751 is still pending and you apply for your N400, or do you just apply as you normally would for neutralization?

Do not apply for neutralization (scary to think what it might be!), rather for naturalization. 

 

Nothing special, but it helps including copy of I-751 receipt and cover letter explaining you still have ROC pending.

Good idea,  who would the cover letter be addressed too since we'll be filing online? Would you happen to have an example of that cover letter?

Ouch I don't think I want any part  of that one! But to answer your question @OldUser

sumed it up nicely!

hi! can i ask, did you put the cover letter on top of table of contents then the list of stuff under the table of contents tab, or have the cover letter/table of contents under the toc tab?

Should the letter be the POV of you jointly or the my husband (who is british?) its look the pov is from the american then you sign it together. before it was always the pov of the brit coming here and now its removing it jointly, right?

[Caitlin Kennedy 67]

Did you end up having to do an interview / get approved?

It doesn’t really matter

Yup I'm writing my cover letter from my perspective (conditional green card holder) but I don't think it matters as long as you're clear and fill the I-751 out right.
