Maybe.  Maybe not.  Your opinion is your opinion.  But I know of one person who submitted their N-400 exactly 1 year before we submitted my wife's N-400.  Same local office.   Their interview is 1 week before my wife's interview.   Took them more than a year.  We submitted my wife's N-400 about 3 months ago.

 

Begging?  🤣.Laughable. Is an expedite request begging?  Is asking to get an ADIT stamp in your passport begging?  Is asking an elected official for help begging?   We submitted my wife's I-751 in March of 2019.  I think we have waited long enough. 

 

BTW, please fill out your VJ timeline. 

Congratulations!! I can see that both interviews are now approved! hooray!

btw, did it took your I-751 more than 24 months before approval, did you had info pass?
Not sure if my query is allowed in this timeline.

Please remove if not.

Thank  you.

It took 44 months from filing the I-751  for the I-751 approval.  My wife had one six month ADIT stamp which expired months ago.

Thanks.  I appreciate that.  I uploaded a self-written letter as extra evidence or unsolicited evidence (same place as I uploaded tax transcripts). In the letter, my wife merely gave them a brief history and requested a combo interview.  @Family  made the suggestion and made a prediction that my wife would get an interview in about 3 months.  Did the letter work?  Well, we got the interview in about 3 months.  Her official I-751 status is still "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview".  I expect it will be either a combo interview or a waiver of the I-751 interview.

Thats really smart. I just got scheduled for my N400 interview with a pending I751. I will be sending you a private message to get more info please. 

Congratulations to you and your wife. You have always been so helpful and nice to the VJ community. Im glad your journey is coming to a happy ending 😊

Congrats! My I-751 was also filed in 2019. June 2019. Did a combo interview like you, as well. Became a naturalized U.S citizen November 2022. We both had long journeys with our I-751s so I totally get it. You're almost at the finish line and not having to deal with USCIS anymore woo hoo! 🎉

EXCELLENT !!  so happy for you both.  We had ours yesterday.  Unfortunately due to the volume of people, no family members were allowed in.  Once, the line around the building had subsided, and all the oath takers were in, it was only 20-30 minutes until my wife came out smiling and waving her small american flag., with paperwork inhand.  What a great day.     Congratulations, so happy for ya'll too.

Thanks!!   Congratulations to you.  Now, I am trying to find an available Passport appointment....Either the scheduling systems are wacky, or appointments are hard to get.

If you live near Waxahachie, you can apply for a passport at Ellis County District Clerk. No appointment needed.
