Just dropping this here since I have not heard of this before and it seems like a good change they are adopting in NYC. 

 

My wife had her interview under the 3 year rule in the Brooklyn field office (Federal Plaza 8th fl) on Friday (11/04) and she was approved on the spot. However, instead of having to wait for the usual oath scheduling, the oath was scheduled right there. She left with a letter stating date and time for the oath ceremony (in 2 weeks time).

 

Definitely much better than my months long wait "in line" a few years ago.

 

Congratulations!! Did the agent also questioned you that day? Pending i-751 or no?

 

Hopefully I'll also get oath date same date, interview in 2 weeks (Brooklyn too).

Congratulations! Do you mind if I ask when did your wife filed her N400?

No 751 pending for us so I was not allowed even in the waiting room and ultimately had to leave the building.

 

Good luck with your interview and please report back with your findings. It will be interesting to see if that's a new standard.

Hi, Anyone from Brooklyn? I gave the interview for pending I-751 and N-400 on Thursday Nov 3rd. The officer approved it on the spot but told us that it will two days first she will approve I-751 then N -400 but since then my online status is still the same.Just wanted to ask if anyone is in the same situation like me?

Oath is first week of December early in the morning. Not my favorite time or date and it’s a bit annoying I had to wait 5 weeks after my interview for the oath ceremony because I have international travel coming up not long after, but I should just be happy that the whole process took less than 6 months.

Hi Zelixx, did the agent interview both spouse and you since you had i751 pending? Any specific questions they asked and tips to share?

The Agent first took my civic test then asked a couple of questions regarding my marriage after that she called my spouse in to ask the same questions like the wedding date,what is your spouse's DOB & what does she do . Just the general questions.

 

Tip: If your I-175 is pending then make sure to take all the prints out with you even the hard copy of pics, a copy of joint bank account or any other documents you & your spouse have their names printed on them. I forgot to take the pics with me but case was approved . Just be confident. Say yes or No .Don't give extra information .

 Best of Luck.

Having her applied under the 3 year rule, she took her foreign passport(the one she used to enter the US), IRS transcripts for the last 5 years, mortgage statement and deed, our kids' birth certificates, marriage certificate, my naturalization certificate, 3 bank statements, our DLs, our health insurance cards for the past 5 years, letters from our 401ks showing we are beneficiaries from each other.

A lot of it was unnecessary but I like to err on side of caution so basically she took every document that shows both our names or that show the same address.

 

Good luck on your journey
