Template to request combo interview

[gogogo786 38]

Hello all,

 

Currently my 751 is pending at Potomac for almost a year with no updates at all besides 2 extension letters. I will be eligible to file my N-400 later this month and in preparing for that I read to upload a letter to request a combo interview so both the 751 and the N-400 can adjudicated together on the same day at the same interview. Has anybody uploaded that and would be kind enough to share a template of that letter? I would highly appreciate that.

 

Thank you.

I uploaded the following letter as unsolicited evidence.  I guess it worked.  As a result, we had a combo interview in Dec 2022:

Dear USCIS Officer

 

Please consider this letter as an official request for a combination I-751/N-400 interview or waiver of the I-751 interview.  We submitted my joint I-751 petition in March of 2019.  My biometrics was completed in May of 2019.  The status of my I-751, case number MSCXXXXXXXXX has been “Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview” since May 2019. I have received no RFEs or requests of any kind. 

 

Sincerely,

The great idea to send a request letter was from @Family.  Since I sent our letter, I believe others have done so, too.

We're among those who followed that advice, and are grateful for it. We didn't think of it at the time my husband applied, but uploaded it later. The letter simply said that he wanted to bring to their attention that he had a pending I-751. We also mentioned it as he was checking in for his N400 interview. He got the combo interview and took the oath that same day!

Tagging along as someone who also did this, using @Crazy Cat's template. I am not sure it made a difference, since my 751 was randomly approved a few weeks prior to the N400 interview... And the officer didn't even know about the 751. But it can't hurt!

Be aware that not all field offices will do a combo interview.
