Is anyone in this group still waiting for I-751 approval and has filed N-400? I am YSC which is extremely slow. My qualifications for N-400 are both 3 years GC and over 3 years marriage. My old bio was reused for N-400 and the last mail I got from them and my online status (December 29, 2021) was that my case is being actively reviewed by USCIS and that there was nothing outstanding at this time.

 

Can anyone suggest probabilities of what can happen in this scenario?

for people i know that did this last year it takes a while when u do both at the same time, but hopefully it will be a different case for you, i feel u should hear something max 2-3 months based on my friends who did it both together

I hope so too. I went ahead to apply for N-400 because the last time I heard from USCIS was in March 13, 2021 that my fingerprints have been applied to my application. YSC is very slow, most guys who applied same time when I did but in other centers have gotten approved for 10yrs GC without interviews, but I am yet to see anyone from YSC who filed around the same time I filed approved for their 10yrs GC. 2-3 months is not bad. As you have said, it might be different for me, I might get a positive response shortly. Good luck to you too...

i feel your pain, times like this i wish i did my N400 2 years ago with my I-751 so i didnt have to play the long waiting game, i was so concerned it will take way to long if i did that....but looks like i had to wait long anyway  , dallas office is super slow...took me close to 3 years to get my 10 year green card

Hey! Once I received this update “case is being actively reviewed with nothing outstanding” things moved real fast. It was just like less than 2 weeks after this update I got my interview notice.  Wishing you good luck!

Hi all, I guess I am a little late to the party. I filed on December 8, 2021 and received my notice that biometrics will be reused, since I just renewed my 10 year greencard. 

Happy waiting, everybody.

 

Quick question: I filed online and was never asked for tax returns. Should I add them anyway? I filed under the 5 year rule, if that makes a difference.

strange that it didnt ask you for one, i think worse case they would just provide you an RFE cause i believe on the website it states dont add anything extra unless asked for it which seems to me they didnt ask you to send those, 

 

i will play just the waiting game for now an they might possibly ask you to bring it for the interview

 

welcome and good luck on your journey for citizenship

some misconceptions flying around here:

Tax returns, bank joint ownerships, car ownerships etc are asked from marriage based 3 yr N400 applicants as proving a successful ongoing marriage is proof that applicant satisfies N400 conditions.

5 yr employment based applicants are *NOT* asked for these documents as the burden of proving residence in US is based on a different criteria. employment based GCs are at most asked to upload marriage certificate (for their spouse is also applying for n400 and got their gc simultaneously) and birth certificates of kids if any, that's it. At the interview they will almost always ask you to produce passport + state ID + green card that's all.
