US Immigration from Germany

Timeline:

August 2018 filed AOS with I-131, I-140, etc etc)

July 2019 interview for two year green card, approved next day.

13 April 2021 filed I-751.

27 August 2021 biometrics waived.

Case transferred to California Service Center.

Mid-January 2022 received RFE dated end of December 2021.

15 March 2022 mailed in our response to the RFE

18 March 2022 response to RFE received.

30 March 2022 approved! Card being produced.

Details: In January 2022 we received an RFE for my husband's I-751 that we filed last April. It was a form letter very similar to others I've read here, saying they needed more evidence for our marriage. At the top they listed the evidence they received from us. Over half of the items we sent were missing. We were pretty sure they simply lost it but it was still really stressful because of the language they used. For example, we provided our IRS tax transcripts (which they listed as received) but they said they were insufficient to show we filed taxes as a married couple (huh?) and they needed a version with all attachments (we did send W2s and 1099s in the original package but of course they lost those.... still not sure how they got separated from the transcripts?!). We put together another VERY FAT package including everything they had "lost" plus a bunch of other stuff and sent it off to the California Service Center, and today, less than two weeks later, he received a notification email that his 10 year green card is being produced! We are so relieved.

Anyway, I just wanted to post this in case anyone else has this issue and is searching the forum for answers, because frankly we were pretty panicked when we first got the RFE. I know this forum has helped us a great deal on our journey and I would like to give a little back. Thanks to everyone else who posted similar situations. It helped calm our nerves a little bit during the process of putting together our second package.

Currently my wife and I live in Germany working with the U.S. Military.

So, once my new contract comes through I will be putting her in for Citizenship as per https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-g-chapter-4 .

With that said, we will continue to be living in Germany and we will have to go to the U.S. in the future for her interview and oath ceremony.

I keep seeing on various pages that some USCIS offices offer same day oath ceremony, but no where do I see these offices listed out.

Does anyone know which offices offer Same Day Oath Ceremony.

I had my N-400 interview last week in the Honolulu office.

Things went well until the end when the officer couldn't load up my photo. I had received a letter that my biometrics from the previous year would be used and my fingerprints were fine, but no photo.

She said it wasn't a big deal, I had my photo retaken right after the interview and she said I'd be approved as soon as the photo was added to my file.

Alas, my online status changed the next day, but not to "approved", it states my case was recommended for approval and is now in "quality review".

From reading here, this seems to not be totally out of the ordinary but timeframes seem to vary wildly.

I am a bit antsy because I need this approval asap for my husbands job offer, that requires me to be a US citizen as well.

If your case was put under quality review, how long did it take to get resolved and your application was approved?
