From what Im reading it seems all NBC transfers are going to have to bring their spouses. 

 

It seems like they went through the mess with different scenarios but now that they seem to have gotten their act together, transferred all N400 combos to NBC and you have to bring a spouse if you have an I751 pending. 

 

While they are still missing letters for some that mention the spouse, I dont even understand how they approved some I751 through intetview without the spouse present which is fully againt their own rules.

do you know of cases where they did that? They were about to postpone my friend's interview because the husband wasn't there. She was able to call him and they waited, but I don't know of ROC interviews without the spouse present.

I cant recolate them from top of my head but before the may NBC transfer there were many cases were people went without their spouses and sometimes the IO would glance at the I751 or sometimes they dont mention it at all and they get approval and oath. 

 

Before NBC transfer it seems like it was a mess and it was dependant on how the IO you get sees things, some even got mad at the applicant for filing the N400 with I751 pending. 

 

But it seems they have been briefed on combo interviews and finally realized that all combo apps are a god send to remove some of CSC backlog

yes, I read some of those stories, reminded me of a nasty officer at POE the first time I visited to see my then-boyfriend. She asked me for the purpose of my visit, and when I told her about "this guy", she asked if there were no more men left in my country :)) I almost told her that actually, he was born in my country, but I didn't want to anger her.

Oh trust me I know and have similar stories. 

 

We tend to never think of IOs and POE as Americans with opinions (sometimes nasty) about immigrants and immigration in general. 

 

I wouldnt be surprised that some took that career path because of backward ideas about “mostly evil people coming to this country” and how they gonna catch so many of them then they get bitter about not “catching” anyone and realizing 99.99% are just trying to get by and live peacefully, so we get drips of their opinions about us. 

 

Good luck on your interview and congrats on getting close to the end.

Congrats that your case was approved. May I asked whether the I/O said they will approve your case  right after the I751 interview?

 

Thanks

Yes, I had combined interview with N 400 in April. I/O was very tough and not happy with applying N400 while ROC was pending. I felt like the I/O hate me for over thousand years and still hold my case.   My I 751 was transferred to NBC May 8th and I haven't heard back for anything. I actually do not expect any luck but just want to get the result  waiting is so painful.

I know.. I'm May 2017 filer from VSC and still waiting for my ROC approval. I guess it is best to wait for the approval of my ROC before applying for N-400, though my N-400 application is ready to submit online.

which state you reside?
