I-751 DEC, 2015 FILER Vermont Center

[Sam_111 2]

Hi Guys,

 

I am I-751 Dec, 2015 filer, I HAVE NOT received my 10 years GC, and I called them, they said i am still under FBI background check.

 

However, I just received an email from USCIS that indicated they are starting to schedule my interview for N-400 application. I have a couple of questions,

 

1, Usually, how much time they give you to prepare for the interview, for instance, on May 23rd, they said that they starting to schedule my interview, and I will receive a letter, so in the letter, what time is the interview gonna be, in June or Jul based on your experience. Thank you!

 

2, So is this strange or normal that I received the notice for the interview of my N-400, but have not received the 10 years Green Card, based on your experience, will the green be delivered before the interview take place? thank you!  By the way, I filed the N-400 based on 3 years marriage.

 

Thank you for your advice in advance.

Hi,

I was told by an IO at my local office when I went to get a stamp in my passport that if they had not completed the ROC when the Naturalization interview took that they would do a joint I-751 & N-400.

The N-400 cannot be approved before the I-751 is adjudicated, so in cases like this, they often (not always) do a combined I-751 and N-400 interview.

I hope you get to have a combined interview. I've also heard at least one person that got sent home without doing the naturalization interview. They did, however, initiate an inquiry into what was taking so long on the person's I-751 approval.

This solely depends on the backlog of your field office. They could schedule you an interview tomorrow or several months later but once an interview is scheduled, it is typically 5 weeks away from the date it is scheduled. so if you receive an interview scheduled notice tomorrow, it will take place more or less at the end of June. 

 

Go to the n400 thread, locate others who belong to the same field office with you, and follow their timelines.

 

Though spouses are not allowed at the N400 interviews, if you are going to have a joint i-751/n400 interview, make sure your spouse is present with you for the roc part of the interview.
