N400 Interview Scheduled with I-751 Pending

[VisaVisaVisaVisa 4]

Hi all,

 

pending I-751 and filed N400 because met criteria (married to Usc). Interview scheduled for next month but i-751 pending? What to do? Will it be a combo interview? How do i prepare?

Plan for a combo interview unless the I-751 is approved before.  The USCIS officer will either approve the I-751 before your N-400 interview, conduct both interviews on the same day, or conduct only one of the interviews. Keep in mind that an I-751 must be approved prior to approval of the N-400.   In our case, the USCIS field office notified my wife 2 days prior to her N-400 interview that I would be required for a combo interview.  If not notified that I-751 has been approved before, just go prepared for a combo.  Good luck.

So if they choose one interview that day... which is more likely?

If only one, I think the N-400.  That is the notice you received.  If the I-751 records are not available, they could then delay approval of the N-400 until I-751 is adjudicated. But just go prepared for both.

@OldUser, what do you think?

I think you nailed the explanation
