hi Jazi, I sent mine to Texas as I was in Atlanta then. Now I am in OH... I checked with Emma live agent (not a very nice one). She told me my I-751 is in NBC now. Since I will have my interview in a month, I hope this is enough time for NBC to transfer my file to my FO.

 

Ok...my i751 was already at NBC since i filed in jan 2022. My n400 interview is next week. I called uscis customer care to ask them if they any info on my i751 if it already transferred to my local field office. They said YES. To make sure, they are not saying stuff randomly, I asked them the date when did it get transferred. They provided me the date. You can also call uscis and confirm it when u r near ur interview date. Good luck

Have any of you moved to a different state since filing the N-400? I’m thinking about moving this summer but not sure how it would affect the scheduling of the interview or oath, if at all. Does anyone have experience with that?

Nearly Done

 

I-751

 

1) applied jan 25, 2022

2) Biometrics- march 7, 2022

3) No update after biometrics

5) I 751 was in MSC(NBC) since the beginning . I-751 never got transferred after applying N400 on Jan 25, 2023. May be because my I-751 was already at NBC(its just my thinking)

 

N-400

1) Applied jan 25, 2023

2) biometrics-  scheduled feb 16 but did earlier by walking in westerville Ohio around feb 10, 2023.

3) Case status changed to "being actively reviewed on the same day".

4) March 28, 2023 scheduled for N400 interview on may, 17, 2023

5) I see no indication of combo interview on the notice. But as we all are doing the same thing, I will also go along with my spouse.

 

**** Got call from columbus field office on saturday that they got some appointment issues and that they had overbooked and if I could come on 15th instead of 17th may. I agreed(happily). Again, they did not mention if it would be combo. Today, I went with my spouse. After security check, I checked in with a lady.  After few minutes, Officer walked over to me in the waiting area and asked me to follow her. She(officer) was very nice. She asked me " were u sitting with ur wife in the waiting area". I replied "yes". She said "glad I saw her". I asked her if she wanted her with me. She replied "no need". Started test..reading, writing and then civics. Passed. Confirmed basic info like my full name, spouse full name, dob, child(boy or girl). Page given that says N400 recommended for approval. Then she opened my I-751 file, repeat same questions basic stuff like names, dob, address. Approved it and informed me that I would not be receiving the physical green card as N400 was approved. Came home, checked statuses of i-751 and N400. I-751 still stuck on fingerprints taken(since march 2022). N400 status got two updates(photo attached). Never asked for a single evidence that I took with me for n400 or i751

 

Thank you  Good luck to all

@Jazii

Congratulations it feels good, doesn't it? Don't forget to update your SS account before you get your passport. Make several copies of your naturalization  certificate too.

Feels like a dream. Yesterday, N400 status updated to "approved" Today, I-751 status changed as well. Thank God :)

[Jazii 30]

Last step updated too :)

Just the printouts of vacations photos, tax transcript downloaded from online irs account, joint house title, bank accounts, child birth certificate, car insurance, health insurance, life insurance..nothing was certified..just downloaded everything from my online accounts and printed it...i was never asked for any evidence by the interviewer

& just like that, naturalization certificate in hand.  Shame it wasn't the Rockies ceremony I thought I was getting but at least it's done. Now the pressure of getting a passport I time for pur cruise. 

 

Good luck to everyone still on the path!

Congratulations! January  N400 filers still continue to rock. It's been a banner month for most! I suspect most of us if not all will be finished soon!

I think the filers coming from the San Francisco office is going to be a while.  8 months is the timeline on the USCIS website.  Maybe by December of this year. No worries though. At least this is the last stop

Anybody knows if there is a same day passport agency in Ohio state?
