Naturalization interview No decision made

[neno85 1]

My husband had his naturalization interview today. He passed all the tests but he hasn’t gotten his 10 year green card yet so they said they couldn’t make a decision. He asked the officer if Everything was ok and he told him yes everything is fine but since your 10 year green card hasn’t been approved yet we have to wait for the approval. Has anyone been through this and have an estimate to how long it can take? My husband came on a fiancé visa and we have been waiting so long for the 10 year that he was already qualified to apply for citizenship. I’m hoping it will speed things up now that he did the naturalization interview.

It appears that your husband did not do a combo interview (a joint n400 & i751 interview) since it appears that you did not attend; an i751 interview requires both the petitioner and the spouse to attend.  If they have not adjudicated the i751 it will need to be approved before the n400 can be approved.

In our case we the petitioner and spouse both attended the interview together which was a joint i751/n400 interview.

 

In our case it took USCIS 3 weeks to approve both the i751 and n400 after our combo interview. In your case the i751 may be approved without an interview in weeks or months or you will need to wait for an i751 interview to be scheduled at the same field office.

He got his ceremony letter in the mail yesterday, his appointment is on 9-12. So exciting!!! The status for his i751 just says his case was transferred to another jurisdiction.

Congratulations over the next few days you will likely see approval notices come out of USCIS on both the i751 and n400.
