USCIS’ Policy of Processing N-400 Form While Form I-751 Pending
On October 7, 2020, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office hosted a public webinar to discuss USCIS’ policy of processing citizenship applications while the Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, is pending.[i]
During this session, speakers confirmed that I-751 receipt numbers with the prefix MSC are routed for interview scheduling, whereas receipt numbers that do not contain the MSC prefix (e.g., EAC, VSC, LIN, etc.) are routed to the appropriate service center for an interview waiver determination.[ii]
The speakers also clarified that, “if the jointly filed I-751 petition is pending at the time of the N-400 interview, an applicant should bring his or her petitioning spouse to the naturalization interview.”[iii]
If you would like to apply for citizenship or learn more about the naturalization application or naturalization process, contact Lally Immigration Services, LLC at (617) 870-1000 or email immigration lawyer, Dayna Lally, at [email protected].
