I did too, until a man with a divorce waiver petition got locked up this last summer.

I-751 is not a priority. Divorce waiver cases even less so.
 

You have enough going on that someone at USCIS might be hoping you just give

up, or maybe they are waiting to see if you leave the U.S. on a trip, deny you then, and then hope CBP locks you up.

But, you always say they can’t deny entry to LPRs?

 

Also-  with no exit controls, how do they know when an LPR leaves the country for say, 9 years, like that one case?  Just passenger manifest info?

Yes.

 

Being held in CBP detention and then ICE detention is being permitted entry into the U.S.

Lying to law enforcement about things they can prove is never a good strategy.

Of course, and I’d never advocate lying.   I’ve always just wondered how they keep tabs on entries and departures, even of USCs.

When the LPR lies, and CBP cannot find any exit records, or entry records from CBSA or the Federales about an exit less than 181 days ago, it can start going through the phone. Lie is then caught. Lying to a fed is a felony. I-407 time if CBP is feeling generous.

 

All CBP has to do is hire officers with IQs of 110 to catch most lying LPRs.

I also noticed biometric scanning of all passengers on my last few international flights out of the US. As in a camera scanning everyone at the gate, right before boarding the plane. That's exit control right there.

Thanks for you input.Have a lawyer already.Filed using a Lawyer.Was just wondering why it’s taking forever to even schedule an interview 

I have a friend same situation (weird they are from Nigeria also and had to switch to divorce waiver). She filed one month after my husband which was June 2018. She just had her N-400/I-751 interview 2 weeks ago. Yes filed in 2018.
There's was filing  I-751, getting divorced. moving from one state to another, transferring case. But finally after many e-request finally. Still not approved still waiting for I-751 to get approved. It's like it's stuck like yours. Hang in there. Hope you don't have to file WOM.
