I had my interview (I-751 only) last week Wednesday at 11am and at 4pm I already received a text message that my status had changed. And today that my card was mailed. So it shouldn't take that long in my opinion.

I wanted to share my I-751 + N400 combo interview experience that took place earlier this week.

 

Details:

I-751 CSC Jan 2017 filer

Filed N400 in Feb 2018

N400 and I751 approved this week

 

My wife and I went together with all supporting documents. There was significant rush and we were called in ~1.5 hours after our scheduled interview time. The officer was very friendly and started off by saying that he'd first need to adjudicate I-751. He asked for documents to prove our relationship is in good-faith. We showed him joint documents since our marriage till present. I was describing all the documents and the officer did not ask my wife anything. Then the officer escorted my wife out saying that he needs to review the N400 with me alone. Once he came back, he told me he was satisfied about our relationship and is approving the I751, and would then move onto N400.

 

For the N400, he first asked basic questions from my application - e.g. wife's birthday, our address, my birthday, DOB, country of birth etc. Then I did the English and civics test. Upon completing these, he said he's approving the N400 and spent some time on paperwork. At the end, he asked when I'd like to attend the oath ceremony and confirmed a date, and said that a document with ceremony details would be mailed to my house. He gave me a document stating that I was recommended for citizenship. He also mentioned that the certificate of naturalization would be made available at the oath ceremony.

 

I have gained a lot from VJ forums and this community has been very helpful all along! I wish all of you the very best! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I am happy to help based on whatever I have learned from my experience.

I am having my N400 interview on october 10th, looks like will be a "combo" one because my ROC did not move at all

[JohnInTX 9]

All that are still waiting, good luck. Since yesterday my wait is over I received my new unconditional GC in the mail (no signature required).
Finally some peace after 688 days or 1 year 10 months and 19 days. Had my card in my hand 11 days after the interview.

 

Now next step... N-400

Congrats! Your case sounds little bit different.

Mose cases are approved on the spot, and will be no production of the card. Did they advise you the reason why they couldn't make decision on Aug 21?

Is it because they didn't have I 751 files on hand back then? Did they mention anything about your N400 oath?

Hello and thank you. No they weren't specific on why they couldn't approve it on the spot. I did not want to be to "pushy" so i politely asked why and as told its a process and she would not be able to to approve the n400 until they approve I751 first. Every office might handle it different. Often from my research the officer needs the supervisor to look at the file prior to official approval. One case on here had an experience where after the combo interview they sent the I751 file to NBC for approval from local office and within a few weeks they got their approval. I havent been scheduled for oath yet. will update once that happen.

I see, yeah you are right every local office handle it differently. I'm pretty sure you'll be approved shortly.

Hi all, I believe our case got approved. 🤗 🤗 We received an email this morning with the status "New Card is being Produced". We are so happy that our ROC journey is finally over. I want to thanks the community for helping us with the process and for everyone that is still waiting to hang in there.

 

Just fyi, we received RFE on August 3rd, and we submitted additional evidence on September 10th. We are very surprise to receive and update in 2 weeks. Now we can finally relax about and not stress out about this.
