I was awakened by a bunch of text messages from USCIS at 6 am. And here it is! After almost 5 years since the day I filed my I-485, non-seeing my family all these years, endless fear to have problems because of 3-hours stoke interview we had, after many sleepless night and axiety, it's finally over. If only you knew what a relief! Thank you everyone here for your support here because this forum was really helpful. Good luck to everyone who's waiting. You'll get it very soon!

Was your Stokes interview for Removal of Conditions?

Congratulations to everyone!

I see everyone getting approved who have a NOA DATE before 09/07/2016. My NOA date is 09/06/2016 and I filed N-400 in October. Getting a little nervous because this is taking too long now, I am already outside of the normal processing time.

I dont think you should be worrying. Your i-751 file is probably now in the hands of your field office with your n-400 application.  Whats your field office?

Agree. It just takes longer when you file concurrently but no reason to worry

No, I-485. So I thought if they had questions then, they would have now too.

Thank you! I do not believe they were combined, as nothing about I-751 was mentioned during my appointment. The N400 interview started with the review of basic info, then the civics questions and ended on signing document about me passing.

I'm so glad this worked for you, Nina! (And so frustrated they wouldn't treat my wife the same way! They refused to do her N-400 interview in Chicago in early November because her I-751 was still pending. Now the I-751 has been approved, but we are still waiting for the N-400 interview to be rescheduled.)

Thank you so very much for your reply, Nina91. I learned quite a number of cases same as your case. How long was the interview?

Do you know normally how far will the oath ceremony be after the passing paper is signed?

@Mlaroussi  I'm a Sept 2016 I751 filer with an August 2017 N-400 filing and I'm still waiting too. My field office is Los Angeles, which seems to be fairly backlogged. I'm not anticipating an interview until at least April. I'd love to be surprised and see it scheduled sooner.

I don't remember but maybe 20 minutes? It could not be longer than 30 min from entering the door to exiting. The oath - it depends where you live. I had my interview in Cleveland office (which means I sent my docs to Chicago). I live outside of Cleveland and my oath was in my city, and they held oath ceremonies every 2 months or so. If you live in a big city, those are held more often.

By the way some places have oath the same day as interview.

Thank you. I live near Cleveland. I had to go to the office to get my stamp because my GC expired, and they took my GC. Maybe that is what prompted them to expedite the process? With them, who knows. They even make you wait for the oath, my appointment was at 10 am and once I got there we learned the oath will be at 11:30 am. LOL

@Nina91 , did you have your naturalization interview at the Chicago field office ? Also did you bring your spouse along for the interview ? Were they asked to join you as well ? A couple of others folks from Chicago didn't have a combo interview like yourself and instead had a I-751 joint interview and are still awaiting their N-400 actual (second) interview.

My field office is Cleveland. The document scheduling N400 interview did not mention the spouse to come with me, but I still brought him, just in case. I thought it would be a combo interview but it wasn't, I also never got RFE notice.
