SEPTEMBER 2021 I-751 FILERS - this is our thread!

[avantika22b]

I sent my application in early September but still have not received anything. MyUSCIS shows case was received. Is everybody the same?

Same here. I have got biometrics letter saying they will use my old prints, but online still shows received.

Same as me. Biometrics done + "Case Received" on website.

No point in expecting any changes anytime soon. The whole point of filing the I-751 was for the 18/24 month extension letter.

Already started to get the package ready for the N-400 submission.

What will you be including in your N-400 package? Similar with I-751 package but updated with the latest bills, certificates, etc?

I have a question about the supporting documents. I saw different post about what to submit: only new evidence, starting from the date of the I-485 interview, or everything since date of marriage, even if they got all of that already with the initial greencard application? I don't want to overload my package, but also don't want to send not enough

Start from the date of marriage.

I’ve started N400 as well. I was wondering if I have to pay for biometrics since it was waived for me on the I-751.

Yep! all updates of the I-751 package (bills, accounts, taxes, vacation/gift receipts, school transcripts)

News from USCIS- sounds positive:
WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced a policy update to adopt a risk-based approach when waiving interviews for conditional permanent residents (CPR) who have filed a petition to remove the conditions on their permanent resident status.
Effective immediately, new criteria will guide USCIS officers on when to waive interviews for CPRs who filed a Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. This update replaces previous agency guidance that required all CPRs to undergo an interview if they obtained CPR status via consular processing.

“Implementing a risk-based strategic approach to the CPR-interview process will increase efficiencies that improve processing times, allow for a better use of agency staffing resources, and help reduce the pending caseload while still maintaining procedures to identify fraud and protect national security,” said USCIS Director Ur M. Jaddou. “This update is consistent with agency priorities to break down barriers in the immigration system, eliminate undue burdens on those seeking benefits, and effectively respond to stakeholder feedback and public concerns.”

Prior policy requiring mandatory CPR interviews did not prove to be an efficient use of USCIS staffing resources. Under this policy update, USCIS may waive the interview requirement if the agency officer determines there is sufficient evidence about the bona fides of the marriage, the joint-filing requirement is eligible for a waiver (if applicable), there is no indication of fraud or misrepresentation in supporting documents, there are no complex facts or issues to resolve, and there is no criminal history that would render the CPR removable.

Soooooo,less chances to be called for an interview

Yes I will. How about you?

Will you hire a lawyer for the naturalization?

No. I do everything on my own.

N-400 looks similar to 751 IMO.

N-400 looks similar to 751 IMO.

I agree. Even the evidence you submit are the same, although definitely more updated for the N-400.

[hopefulandhappy]

How is everyone’s 751 application?

[Caligirl]

My package is nearly ready,sending it off on May 11th

It looks like the July 2021 filers are getting responses now. Hopefully we will be too soon.
