Yeah about SSA, given we marked the option for SSA update on N400, do we still have to go to SSA office to get it updated? 

Yes, I think @OldUser in a thread that this option is no longer a working option. Get an appointment at SSA office and just take the passport or CON as proof. Make sure you wait at least 10 days before you show up at SSA office

Ah Thanks. In that case wondering whether to apply for passport first or SSA office, given have to mail out the certificate for passport.

It depends on your priorities. I got passport first, then did SSA.

We just had our combo I-751 / N400 interview today (filed N400 May 1). The interview itself was very laid back and friendly, I didn't expect it like this. It was mostly small talk honestly. The officer had already read through our files when we arrived and said the application looked so well organized and everything well documented that she was very impressed. Didn't ask for any evidence that we brought, all she asked for was wife's GC, wife's passport, and our driver licenses. All that printing of papers and organizing for nothing lol

 

So after just some chit-chat and a couple questions, I-751 was approved. Officer let me stay for the N400 portion. The N400 related civics ( 5 Qs)  / english question (write down something) were straightforward and officer was eager to approve my wife to be a citizen. Luckily, wife was able to do the oath ceremony two hours later and we left the building wife with naturalization certificate in hand! Really happy to have concluded this process and this interview experience was so nice and friendly!

Congratulations

Congratulations! How wonderful to have oath same day as interview. Which was your field office?

LPR wife did the interview today and she passed, officer scheduled her oath ceremony at one week later.

 

Easy, 10 minutes, officer allowed me in so I sat behind them. He was polite and kind, but also looked a bit sleepy. 

 

Wife was bit nervous that she misspoke our address, but the officer repeated it to her and asked her to confirm it. Also, when she mentioned being pregnant when asked about kids, he had her sign an addendum to the N-400 form to capture that “new” information. 
 

He printed out the approval and wrote the oath date and time, and instructed us to go back to the reception desk and get the N-445 form to fill out before the oath. 
 

So close to being done with this.

Busy field office? Pending I-751? Luck?

We did the oath ceremony this morning, and now my wife can call herself a US citizen! 

 

Such a relief given the backdrop of heavily increased immigration enforcement.

 

N400 process took only 2.5 months, which was fantastic especially since she’s pregnant and the normal processing timeline would have put her interview/oath right around our baby’s due date.
