I-751 Interview (Chicago)

[MichelleRenee 14]

Hi there,

My Welsh husband and I filed for ROC in June of 2017 and hadn't heard anything about our case until a letter came last week asking us both to attend a I-751 interview in the middle of September. So far in the I-751 June 2017 filers forum, I haven't really seen anyone else be called for an interview. Has anyone else experienced this, specifically in Chicago? We also applied for N-400 in May of 2018, so someone had said this was possibly a joint interview for I-751/N-400, but the form only mentions the ROC so I'm not sure if this is actually a possibility. Any information about ROC interviews would be helpful as I've looked through the forum but haven't found too much. I thought my paperwork was super thorough and proved we were a legit couple but now I'm wondering if they noted a red flag or something (there is no reason that I can think of for us to be red flagged however) and that is why we are being called. Thanks!

Sometimes they pick random cases to interview, so it might not be anything you did wrong.

No need to worry.. my friend attended the ROC interview.  There was no age , religion difference. But they were called and the interviewer because the country her husband is from is among the high fraud countries.  Everything went smooth and they were approved on the spot.

I assumed we were picked at random but wasn't sure if anyone had heard of them combining an I-751/N-400 interview which I highly doubt they would do despite it sounding like less work on their end! We all know they don't do things the easy way though

Your husband should go to the interview ready and ask if he can have a combo i751/n400 interview

Chicago office does not do combo interview. Your i-751 must be approved before you go for N-400 interview which is 8 to 15 month wait time. 

i am from chicago as well my case  i-751 was approved yesterday (TSC) i also applied N-400 on july 1st. 

 

take all evidences with you such as latest pictures, trip tickets etc. dont be stressed. your case could be random pickup otherwise  you would get RFE if they had less evidence. 

 

One of my friend had n-400 interview today and it took her 8 months.

This is not true. I just read from username "gabreigns" who had a combo interview (I-751 and N-400) in Chicago office yesterday.
