Had the interview today, super simple and all done via tablet. Wife got scheduled for a same-day oath (we live over 150 miles away). Oath ceremony took about 30 mins and she received the naturalization certificate on the spot! Yay! Officially done with our journey.

Hello friends, 

 

I had my N-400 interview at Dallas, TX center at 10.30 in morning. I took my wife with me so there wont be any issue if it is combo interview. 

I went there in the building at 9.55 am. after fingerprint check and Photo taken, they sent us to 2nd Floor where we waited around 1.5 hours.

Everyone was called by and we were just waiting. So when I asked, Receptionist told me that each interview is assigned to particular Officer so they will call you.

 

Finally, officer called me and we went to his cabin. Before sitting, he made me took oath for providing correct information. asked for my ID, Green Card, Passport and my wife's ID. Then he told me that he will go for I-751 file first and then N-400.

He opened up my file and asked for me if I have any additional documents to provide which I did not uploaded. I said I have uploaded everything. He asked me for my 2021 Tax return details as he could not find it. I gave him copy. 

Then he asked me my name, birthdate, wedding date, my wife's birthdate and how we met, where our wedding took place. Then he said he is going to remove the conditions. 

 

Then he started process for N-400. He asked me 6 questions. (please find exact words of question in booklet)

1) Which people brought to America for slavery?

2) Which Ocean is on west coast ?

3) How many representatives in house?

4) when did the declaration of independence adopted ?

5) What is Capital of your State ?

6) I don't remember somehow... 

 

Then he made me read sentence in Tablet and asked me to write down answer of it.

After that He asked me again same questions, Name, birthdate, address,. 

Additional were about Place of birth, Country of citizenship, how many times I have been married, any kids.

Then he said he will repeat the questions from application for Yes/No answers. Made me signature on Tablet 3 times for all affirmations.  

Everything done, he returned the IDs and Tax documents. Gave me answer copy and congratulated me. And said Oath Ceremony will be in 2-3 weeks. 

 

All process took 15-20 min. He was nice and polite person. It was much easier experience than I thought. 

I returned to home and status was changed to Oath Ceremony will be scheduled.

has this happened to anyone else?

 

I went to the N400 + I751 interview yesterday. The whole interview went well, my wife was with me the whole time, the lady said she is recommending me for approval to her supervisor and should have something scheduled in 2-3 weeks (most likely in January). I got the receipt and everything.

 

Then, I get back home and I see on the portal that it says, "Interview Cancelled"...which is impossible since I was checked in and did the full interview.

 

No idea what's going on. This is super confusing.

Yup. My wife and I were in the same room the whole time. She's the citizen. I passed the test. Says so on the Naturalization Interview Results form itself.

Interesting.  My wife's  N-400/I-751 interview is tomorrow .  I don't think you need to worry about that "canceled" status.

Thanks! I hope so too. I'm sure this a simple error during the input. I gave them a call just now and they said they will have someone from Tier 2 give me a call.

That's strange indeed. Let us know what the T2 officer says.

Some positive development to report:

My I-751 finally got approved (I had filled it in February of 2021) just now. It was saying that it was waiting to schedule me for an interview until this afternoon. It finally updated this evening.

 

The n-400 (for which I actually went in) still shows "Interview Cancelled". But this is a positive development and I'm hoping it should resolve itself shortly. I'll update the thread when it goes through.
