Hello. I filed my I-751 on December 16, 2020. I just got an I-551 stamp on my passport. 
 

Does it seem like the USCIS is secretly planning to deny my I-751?

If so, why would they wait?  We filed our I-751 in March 2019.  It took 44 months for approval.

Registered Nurse- Retired- I practiced in the areas of Labor & Delivery, Home Health, Adolescent Psych, & Adult Psych.

IT Professional- Retired- Web Site Design, Hardware Maintenance, Compound Pharmacy Software Trainer, On-site go live support, Database Manager, App Designer.

______________________________________

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

No I don't think so, it took 2 years plus for our i751 to be approved and I think our n400 application may have kicked it to an interview.

 

Hang in there, Sacramento field office/NBC/California Service Center are slow.

No, I originally filed my I-751 on 12/19/2018 and only got approved on 12/08/2022. So about a 4 year wait for me but I still got approved.

  • 2/24/2021: Case scheduled for an interview

  • 12/08/2022: I-751 with divorce waiver APPROVED!
  • 12/21/2022: 10 yr Green Card Received.

 

N-400 timeline:

  • 08/04/2022: Interview done. Passed English and Civics test but no decision could be made due to my pending I-751

Filed my I-751 June 2019 and it was finally approved along with my N400 late October 2022 after a combo interview. I naturalized in early November 2022. I believe me filing my N400 gave a kickstart to my I751 which was collecting dust in who knows where lol. Unfortunately, I-751s just take forever for a lot of people since they are on the low end of USCIS's priorities. Hang in there! Your time is coming! 🙂
