I-751 ROC interview questions

[EatBulaga 316]

Greetings to all I-751 experts,

 

Our I-485 application interview was waived. What is the current situation with the I-751 ROC interviews? 

 

For those who had the I-485 interview waived and not doing the N-400, is the I-751 interview more likely to be scheduled or waived?

 

For those who had the I-485 interview and not doing the N-400, is the I-751 interview more likely to be scheduled or waived?

 

Are more I-751 applicants waiting for the 3- or the 5-year N-400 combo interview?

 

Is there a difference between the 3- or the 5-year N-400 combo interview?

 

Thanks in advance for any responses.

I think any answers you might get will be speculative. 
Both my 485 and 751 were approved without an interview. 
 

I did have an interview for N400 and even though my 751 had already been approved, my husband came with me and they still asked him one or two questions

N-400 cannot be approved without interview, that's 100%.

I'm curious about this also, especially people who have not applied for citizenship. I haven't seen very many posts from people who have had both 485 and 751 interviews waived unfortunately. We're in the same boat and not having to deal with an interview would obviously be ideal. 😅

It's almost certain that you will have an interview for either the AOS or the ROC. Since you didn't have one for AOS you're very likely to have one for ROC instead. Only in rare cases both interviews are waived, so don't count on that happening. 

The interviews are super easy and nothing to worry about. I always loved the interviews when I went through the process, it was fun and very interesting. I would've easily had an interview at every step if I could choose.

Interview is easy if you have a bonafide marriage, it's basically telling them about your day to day life.

As others have said if you didn't get an interview at 485 stage then you'll almost certainly get one for ROC

I think you are one of the rare ones to have both interviews waived?

Yes, the question is to do the 3- or 5-year combo interview? If both are equivalent, then might as well do the 3-year interview?

Even for bona fide marriages, preparing for the interviews still takes time. Then, there is still the risk of saying something questionable during the interview or having the second-guessing interviewer?

This is why we are preparing for the interview process now by listing the evidences that both of us have to remember so we can be consistent. Even in marriages between 2 US citizens, one can easily forget special dates, etc.
