  1. Everything was just related to the n400, nothing brought up about the i751. The interviewer did have the complete case file (K1, AOS, RoC, and N400) on his desk. It was amazing to see it all together and the pile of paperwork that we've submitted. He did end up going way back in time with the employment history, asking questions about jobs listed back in 2016-2017 before arriving in the United States. Otherwise it seemed like a very standard N400 Interview and appeared that they were rushing to get the interviews scheduled for that day completed so everyone could attend the same day oath ceremony. After we came back at the appointed time, there was only 1 new person in the waiting room who had apparently been scheduled previously to come in that day, otherwise, everyone else participating had just completed their interview. It made filling out the required "Page 4" for the Oath Ceremony a bit funny because the questions all relate to the time between your interview and Oath Ceremony and include questions like "Since your interview, have you married, or been widowed, separated or divorced?" and "Since your interview, have you committed any crime or offence, for which you have not been arrested?" and we joked a bit in the hour wait about trying to fit those things in.
  2. Yesterday completed our path through immigration and citizenship. Interview was scheduled for 1:00pm, called in at 1:20pm, finished at 1:35pm. The interviewer was straight and to the point, started by first completing the civics questions and stopped after the 6th (for anyone curious questions were: What does the constitution do?, What is one thing Benjamin Franklin is known for?, When was the constitution written?, Name one American Indian tribe in the United States., Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?, and There were 13 original states. Name three.), then some of the yes/no questions, updates to employment and travel history, then the reading portion (What month is Columbus Day?), then the written portion (Washington D.C. is the capital), then a quick wrap up and done. Was told to come back at 2:45pm for a Same Day Oath Ceremony, which didn't take place until about 3:15, Certificate of Naturalization received and process now complete.
  3. Yep. Got notification on January 15th that an interview was scheduled. Interview was yesterday, passed successfully, and was able to do a Same Day Oath Ceremony.
  4. I was hoping to get some advice on this, I tried to search topics and found some conflicting information so was hoping someone might have some advice/recent experience with this. My partner recently (last week) lost both his driver's license and green card. We already have received his replacement driver's license so that's taken care of. This morning we woke up to a notification that his N400 interview has been scheduled for February 22nd. Now, I know that we can file a I-90 for a replacement green card, and pay the fee, but I was hoping to avoid this because of the cost and the fact that he won't likely have a replacement card before the interview (current processing times of a I-90 are 7 to 14 months according to USCIS website). We still have his 2 year expired green card and all other paperwork from all steps in this process (I129f, AOS, I751, all notifications received in the mail, and a photocopy of his 10 year green card). Since the letter sates the green card must be brought do you think they will accept the expired 2 year green card with an explanation that the 10 year was lost and we didn't want to pay the fee for a replacement since it would no longer be needed/valid/arrive in time before the interview or do we just need to bite the bullet, pay for the I90, and then attend the interview with the expired card plus the I90? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
  5. I also just noticed that all of us that have received this and have a timeline set up have the Chicago Office listed as our Local Office.
  6. Same here. Applied for N400 end of March 2021, received 10 year Green Card April 2021 (no interview), and yesterday I-751 updated to "Your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, was transferred to another USCIS office" and today there is an update that says "Case was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction. I'm really leaning towards the explanation above that the N400 is in final review at our local offices and they requested the I-751s be sent to have as a part of the final prep/interview.
  7. Just logged in to check (same field office) and it's still showing 10 months. Maybe a difference between our filing dates since we applied at the end of March.
  8. Thanks! Not going to hold my breath since Chicago seems a bit backed up, just hoping to get it done before moving next year.
  9. Yep, it now says sent instead of emailed. What an odd update to make that would trigger the "we've taken an action on your case email"....got my hopes up that an interview was about to be scheduled.....oh well. Thanks!
  10. Had an odd thing happen and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. On Saturday at 5:45am I got an email from USCIS stating "We have taken an action on your case. Sign into your account to view your case status." so I logged in and saw no update besides "Case was received" and no updated documents. I checked a few other times throughout Saturday and it remained the same. On Sunday I decided to check again a couple of times, thinking maybe the update might require an overnight process to update, but case was still on received. I then logged in this morning to check, thinking maybe updates don't happen on the weekends and they get pushed to Mondays, and case is still on the received status. I don't know if it was an email that got sent out in error, or if they've started to work on the case but the system hasn't updated, so wanted to check in to see if anyone else had experienced this.
