I-751 LIN / Lincoln Service Center / Nebraska Only Filed 2021

[AkireSchr]

I filed my I-751 in August of 2021, fingerprints October 2021, nothing until I checked today and saw my case was approved on 03/03. I never applied naturalization, just waited for I-751 approval. Good luck to everyone else!

Filed my I-751 in September 2021. Did my N400 interview yesterday, and had a combo interview for the first part. The officer didn't have my A-file, so they couldn't adjudicate, and the wait continues.

Looks like they are doing auto extensions for i751 petitions to 48 months. Per article

https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/uscis-extends-green-card-validity-for-conditional-permanent-residents-with-a-pending-form-i-751-or#:~:text=USCIS%20is%20extending%20the%20validity,beyond%20the%20card's%20expiration%20date

I am yet to receive any new extension. "We will issue new receipt notices to eligible conditional permanent residents who previously received notices with an extension shorter than 48 months and whose cases are still pending"

The last cycle of extension notices I believe were just 18 and 24 months, so literally that means every one who still have a pending I-751 should be receiving the new receipt notices with a longer extension period.

I would keep an eye out for the mail, and if you are 3-6 months out to the expiration of your longest extension notice, send a message to USCIS via your online account so you are more in control of how your communications are managed.

Hang in there.

Cheers

I applied for N400 on dec 30 2022. Per their site it will take 7 months for them to process this. On Apr 20 2023 my 24 month extension for i751 will expire. I might need to get i551 infopass sometime in feb/march 2023 .

Did you get a NOA letter on your N-400 already? I received a NOA after 1 month of N-400 filing.

I think you should wait for your expiration month to make the info pass appointment.

Originally my N-400 showed a processing time of 9 months. Then it went down to 6 and 4 months within a span of 60 days.

You can take up your I-751 expiration date at your N-400 interview which I feel should happen between Feb/March.

Wishing you get some good news soon.

Cheers

They moved my ROC to NBC and i got letter saying that it was transferred. i applied n-400 citizenship 2 months ago , case was received and biometric was reused. After that i havent heard anything. i read people have exactly same cases and applying same field office (NYC) got their interview scheduled notice in a month , i have been waiting for 2 months and didnt hear anything about interview . i dont know how uscis pick up the cases. maybe im being so impatient..

Yes, I will agree you are being impatient, but you are allowed to be you are almost there.

Keep your tail up.

Hi There,

I got an invite for an N-400 interview 3 months after I filed last year.

When you say "no update" how did you know your I-751 was transferred? I-751s get transferred likely because of your N-400.

Or do you mean that since you filed your N-400 you have not received: 1.) Notice of Action, or 2.) 797-C Notice of Receipt?

I know different USCIS centers process N-400s differently, I think after another month you should send a follow up on your N-400 via your online USCIS account.

Hang in there.

Cheers,

Hello flyway 1984,

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I know the feeling of helplessness in the face of constant brick walls.

I'm curious if you have considered filing an N-400 application considering that your I-751 has apparently fallen through the cracks?

There is a theory and my case will prove it, that filing an N-400 when qualified will get your pending I-751 out in front of the system.

I'm also curious if you have an online USCIS account where you can directly send a message of inquiry to them.

Hopefully this helps you consider your options.

Cheers,

Hey Gasp0214 , thank you still coming here and helping us with our situations.

When you do inqury directly from USCIS online account , what is the difference doing from USCIS website?
my i-751 transferred , i applied n-400 just 2 months ago and no update.. I know it is still very short time but i have seen people who are getting their interview less than 2 months..

I tried to create one more inquiry. But the form doesn't allow me . it still thinks it has an open inquiry, in reality they closed the inquiry without providing any useful information. Not sure if I have to wait some more days to create another inquiry, or make plans to get infopass appointment (which is vague reading the sites on how to get hold of them to get one) to get i551.


Existing Inquiry Found

We have located a previously submitted inquiry with confirmation number ( SRXXXNSC ) for the same issue. You may not submit a new inquiry at this time. You can expect to receive a response to your previous inquiry within 30 days of the date your inquiry was submitted.

I sent my 3rd case inquiry 2days ago. They haven't answered my questions yet. SRC anyway. The last 2 was the same response as #flyway1984

[flyway1984]

yeah i did inquiry using the calculator. Per Nebraska service center , their processing time is 19 months and clearly i am outside that window(My filing date was Apr 20 2021). It allowed me to create inquiry on Dec 17 2022 . They took their sweet time to respond the inquiry . They closed the inquiry on jan 09 with message like below. Its super annoying as it is a generic message without any insight why it was outside processing time. They don't have any tools or easy way to help with the case.

"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records show your case is in line to be reviewed by an officer. We ask that you allow additional time for this process to take place since we process these cases in the order received. If after 60 days you have not received anything in the mail, please contact the USCIS Contact Center at the number provided below."

I filed removal of conditions on Apr 20 2021, its with Lincoln processing center and close to 632 days. I still have 3 more months before the 24 months extension expires. I created an inquiry saying its over their processing time , but got a generic reply and they closed inquiry saying they are working on cases based on when they received it .

did you use the calculator which is on uscis website for inqury , if you do inqury earlier then they usually generate this message. If it is really out of processing times it is little weird that they responded that way.
