***Received 2nd update that application is now at local office. Hoping this is the that will lead to the interview***
Still waiting for interview and docs to get to local office EVEN though we received notifications that docs are in local. Went to InfoPass to inquire and this is what they told us. Could be a year per the agent.
Had I-551 stamp added to passport for another extension due to wife's/daughters expiring under 30 days. At least we are safe with that! |

The day is finally here...Today my wife becomes a US citizen. Going forward she will be a Ukerican!
Pending ceremony date at this time
11/7....Wife had interview yesterday for N400. Passed the test with flying colors. Now, during interview she was also interviewed for I751, which is still outstanding. IO stated everything looks good and that he has to complete everything in the system, this week or next, and that final decision will be mailed. Looking good, but waiting on the I751 still! At least he combined both interviews into one. She did both of these alone as IO said I did not need to be there for 751. Odd, but ok!
Hopefully, positive mail in the very near future.
So far so good...Biometrics scheduled..as usual that part is fast! Maybe, just maybe...as I have read here...both interviews might be combined...ROC and Citizenship! Time will tell...fingers crossed.
Oct 12 - Just received interview letter for 11/6...still pending I-751, so getting this now is fantastic! Wife excited and nervous, already. |

| Embassy Review : |
We traveled together from Kiev to Houston. Upon arrival we went to the US Citizen line, because of myself, but were told to go back to the "Non-Citizen" line. Disappointed in this. My family was with me. Oh well, can't fight city hall. All went very smoothly...my family was taken inside and I was told to wait outside while they processed. Similar questions were asked about how we met, how many times I visited and then they asked when we would get married. This caused some confusion because of translation issues, but it all worked out.Overall a very easy process. |

Timeline Comments: 1Hello and congratulations on successfully arriving to the end of this process.
I am still waiting.
Would you be kindly share when did you receive interview letter, if the letter asked you to go alone or with spouse?
what questions were asked from you during i-751 interview?
Did they tell you after interview if you are approved or not?
THANK YOU very much
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
** Not all cases are transfered
