I-751 ROC Filers - January 2023

[Deb123 16]

Hi there! I sent my package, it was received on 2 Jan 2024, however I did not submit the text notification form, which I deeply regret. Furthermore I made the poor decision of using a cashiers check, so I do not know whether it has been cashed. It has been 9 days since any update, and I am seeing everyone getting their NOAs in 4-5 days, and some of you with NOAs arriving in a future date. How do you determine this? Will I be able to see an update on myUSCIS before the NOA1 letter arrives? Feeling anxious, thanks for reading 🥹

NOA on 4-5 days? Really? The USPS part alone can take 4-5 days to deliver letter from USCIS to your address.

 

When I submitted mine it took like 6 weeks to receive NOA by mail.

 

Also, were you trying to send a message in January 2024 thread?

Yes you are right! I am on the wrong thread, thanks for pointing it out. I'll post in 2024. Yeah, I have been seeing really fast timelines in 2024.

Hi everyone!

 

I'm planning to file my N-400 this coming week. I've only started reading about the steps and things to submit. Has anyone filed theirs yet? I heard some people include letters/ROC receipt as evidence requesting for a combo interview since their I-751 is still pending. Did anyone do this? Wanna hear everyone's experiences during filing!

You should absolutely do it to ensure IO is aware of pending I-751. It would never hurt. Do not include original ROC extension letter, only a copy.

 

There were cases when IO only found out about I-751 pending at the interview, and they got frustrated about it. Cannot find links, but it was on VJ.

Yes - I used this template

Got my citizenship interview scheduled for April 11, no mention of ROC and my case is still on "received on Jan 23" status. Will be prepared for a combo, I also used the template and added to the N-400 application.

Once your N400 gets to the interview stage then you're very much in a different queue than people only waiting on a i751.

I read when you submit for the N400, in the cover letter its not a bad idea to request combo interview so they know. should we not do that?

I did this after receiving N400 interview with pending i751. I just received interview descheduled notice yesterday on N400, with no other updates on i751. Crossing fingers, hopefully I get a new combo interview.

I also just had my interview cancelled. Was scheduled for later in April and cancelled about 12 days after I received the interview notice. Not sure why. Possibly something to do with waiting for I-751 paperwork who knows. Waiting to get scheduled again.

Aaaand done -

My I-751 was approved, and N400 placed into "Oath Ceremony to be Scheduled" queue. Good luck to all I-751 folks still waiting!

Got approved late April and received the card this week, only so I can surrender it next month at the oath
