N-400 application, Pending I-751 approval

[Successful Pinky 12]

Hello everyone,

 

My Permanent Residency through K1 would expire on March 2023 (extension).

I have applied for ROC, it was updated to "To be scheduled for interview", I was very hopeful and waiting for that day but then just yesterday when I checked the case was updated back to "Case was updated to show Fingerprints were taken".

 

I am hoping to hear your stories regarding Pending approval of I-751 but still applied for N-400. 

How did it went? 

How long before the expiration of your Permanent resident card expires when you applied for N-400.

Did you applied for info pass while waiting for the result?

Thank you for sharing.

USCIS status updates will sometimes change like that when they make changes to their system, perform maintenance, or do system updates. Unless you get “Interview has been scheduled”, I would just keep monitoring. 

As for your question, I applied for naturalization while my RoC was pending, and my RoC got approved while the N400 was still pending. However, it was only about 6 or 8 weeks after RoC approval that I became a citizen and turned in my new 10 year green card again (happily!!). Our RoC interview was waived, and N400 processing was straight forward start to finish.

I was lucky and didn’t need an ADIT stamp, so no info pass appointment was necessary. My RoC approval came just about a month before the extension letter would have expired (they were 18 months back in my day). 

Good luck with everything!

Not sure of your timeline. It looks like you filed your i751 sometime early in 2021 with your extension letter expiring 2 years after your conditional green card expired.

If so, you could have filed an n400 in March of this year 3 years after your conditional green card was issued if you are still married to and reside with your US citizen spouse for all 3 years.

You can check out our i751/n400 timeline in the signature section below. Our i751 was approved about 25 months after filing and n400 approved around 13 months after it was filed after a combo interview.
