My dad had his interview today. It was an...interesting experience. I waited for my dad outside. Maybe an act of God, but apparently he had a near fall at the interview center as they were checking hi

I finally got notice that my interview is scheduled for January 16th! I notice there has been no update on my I-751 filed in 2022. Will they combine the interview? Does my spouse need to attend also? There is no mention of the I-751 in the interview notice, just N400.

Yes, spouse must attend

Little addition here,

The spouse is not required to attend the N400 interview unless it specifically states it in the letter. However that is totally irrelevant for you as you still have a pending I-751.

They may or may not decide to do a combo interview. There is zero change of a combo interview unless you bring your wife. 

If during the interview it looks like they are not going to do the I-751, be proactive and politely ask about it. (The may have simply overlooked it).

 

Bring any and all evidence ever submitted. (I suggest original and copy) if for whatever reason stuff has gone missing from your file you'll be able to provide it right there. (if it is 25 lbs of paper so be it, bring it all). I used to have 2 sets of every petition ever filed. One with the originals and one with the copies saved my bacon during the ROC interview.

Assume a combo interview Spouse should attend.  They may or may not conduct both. Bring updated I-751 evidence.  We were notified 2 days prior to wife's interview that we would have a combination interview. ...Be prepared.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..
