N-400 interview

[Sam_111 2]

Hi Guys,

 

I just finished my N-400 interview. I applied based on 3 years marriage. I passed the test, but the decision can not be made yet. The office said because my I-751 is still pending, she needs to see all my documents about my I-751 first, then make a decision on my N-400.

 

Does that make sense, whats your thoughts?

 

Thank you so much !

Did you ask if your I-751 is still with the service center or they have it at the field office?

 

Normally they do a concurrent I-751/N400 interview for pending I-751/N400s. We have seen these kind of interviews before. Did you receive any interview notice for your I-751? Did you go to the N400 interview with your spouse?

I did not ask her if my I-751 is still with the service center or they have it. But based my understanding, she does not have it, because she said she needs to receive my I-751 first, then make the decision on my N-400 case, so I guess she does not have it right now.

 

I have not received any interview notice for my I-751, and yes, my spouse was with me today, but the officer said she did not need to see him, just interview me if fine.

 

So does that make sense?

Hrm...perhaps you'll be summoned for another interview for the I-751 itself, and once that's done, the N-400 will auto-approve based on your interview today. This is the first I've heard where they weren't together and that the N-400 came first.

This looks like USCIS screw up. Service center should have forwarded your I-751 to the field office or adjudicated it at the service center before your N400 interview because before your I-751 approval, N400 cannot be approved. God knows why it didn't happen in time, it's just a matter of mailing a package. Though it sounds like your I-751 is on its way to the field office, I am not sure what would happen at this point or when. Hopefully they would resolve this without requiring a 2nd interview and as soon as possible. Perhaps you could bring your congressperson into play and ask assistance to expedite your I-751 adjudication. They might be able to get a more definite answer on the status of your I-751.

Hopefully, everything will go smoothly...
