Thanks to all that responded. I got my  i 751 (filed september 2017 ,Charleston Office) interview to remove conditions today and everything went great. I didn't mention in the original post that I had filed N400 in September 2018 too. I got that interview on 12/10/18 but went without my wife so the officer told me I would be rescheduled because that was a combo interview and my wife had to be with me. So one piece of advice, if you get the combo interview, take your spouse with you, no matter what.

Today I thought I'd only have the i751 interview, the officer was super nice and told me after approving my i751 (very simple questions) "you're not going anywhere, since you're here let's have the N400 interview too" I waited in the lobby for around 20' checking my Civics Test app (there are a few on the appstore) this really helped me prepare. After that time, another officer called me and conducted the N400 interview, he made me read one sentence from a Tablet (who's the commander in chief of armed forces? ) and asked me to write the answer on the same tablet with a stylus. He then asked me 6 questions from that booklet they have , I answered correctly all of them.During the interview he asked me questions covering his mouth while typing in the computer, I guess to test my listening English skills, he asked me simple questions (what's your SSN, where do you work etc) but in low voice and covering his mouth, this was kind of funny. 

 

He finally told me I'd passed everything and to wait outside and that he was going to try to give me an Oath Ceremony date today too. 15' later they called me to give me form  N445 (Naturalization Oath Ceremony). I will attend my Oath Ceremony on 03/26.

 

Thanks a lot for the help during all this time, I constantly checked this forum for the last 2/3 years. It was of great help.

 

Good luck to all

I applied for both i751 in 09/12 and N400 09/6 ... both are pending ... got a response from uscis saying they would adjudicate both applications together and already sent to my local office (Dallas) - that's like a very long wait 'cos of the backlogs there.

 

So you might be in same boat too and depending on how fast your local office is with N400 processing ...

No, I didn't get automatic response ... I opened an case inquiry for my i751 on the uscis website ...

 

Texas is the slowest state of all the 50 states so you're looking at averagely 12 months or more wait time for the N400 ... so I guess you just relax and wait

 

 

It's currently showing this now ... so check again in few days to see if it brings in September for a case inquiry and send in a request

Call USCIS customer service.  The agent will work with your local office to get you an appointment.

Just like GBOS mentioned above, call them to schedule an appointment.

 

Also, some offices take walk-in if say your extension is expiring this month and you just show the security guys the expiry date and your passport.

 

Good luck

My I-751 receipt date is September 1, 2017 and it is still pending ... and has passed the inquiry date... Guess something went wrong?

Called USCIS last Friday and was told that they would call me to schedule an INFOPASS appointment at a local office. Still waiting now...

No, not yet.

I want to get the 10-year GC before I file N-400.

 

Btw, I think NY filers are using Vermont Center. You are in NY but why do you have Texas Service Center in your profile?

Went to INFOPASS today and was told that my case was still in process and NY i-751 filers are waiting up to 3 years...

Gave me a 551 stamp on my passport and told me to keep waiting without worrying too much or file N-400 directly.
