I-751 submitted in Jan 2022

[sophiamchan]

Hi, I am just checking the status update from anyone who have submitted I-751 in Jan 2022.

2/4/2021: I-751 application received
2/9/2021: I-797 notice - 24m extension of green card
7/13/2021: I-797c - biometrics waived

I live in San Francisco and mailed to Phoenix, AZ service center.

By end of Feb., I would have my green card (by marriage) for 3 years and could apply for naturalization (N400). Should I do it or wait for my I-751 approval?

Thank you!

Yours is same as mine and i did apply for naturalization. I heard that some case got approved at the same time for both i751 and N400.
Just go ahead and apply for this. Somehow you can save a little bit of time.

Thank you for your response! When did you apply for N400?

I suggest that you apply for you N400/naturalization as soon as you are eligible because it will expedite the approval of your 751.

My 751 had no updates until I submitted my N400 application. I got my invite for my citizenship exam/interview after 3 weeks of submitting my N400 application and the officer approved my 751 and N400 after the interview.

Best of luck!
