Our journey concludes here. My wife just became US citizen as of yesterday morning!
 
They never actually sent us the 10 yr GC. We may have saved a lot of time by filing N400 with pending I751 (CSC filer). Anyone still on the fence about applying for Citizenship, don't think about it too much. Just file it online, as long as you are eligible, there won't be any issues. Just make sure to bring your spouse to your N400 interview,  because they do conduct combo interviews when an I751 is pending approval. 

Exactly 17 days since my wife's ROC and N400 combo interview. Just received two email updates from USCIS this morning:
I-751: A new card is being produced N400: We scheduled your naturalization ceremony Although when I check under documents, the actual oath ceremony letter has not yet been uploaded. I will update our timeline once the letter has been uploaded, or upon receiving the snail mail.  At the rate which Chicago court houses are wrapping up ceremonies these days, my wife should be a citizen before Christmas! I don't know what we would do if it weren't for all the love and support we have received on these forums. Thank you all for sharing stories about your journey, and providing useful information along the way. For those of you still waiting, hang in there! 

My wife had her Oath Ceremony yesterday. She is finally a United States Citizen!!

Exactly 17 days since my wife's ROC and N400 combo interview. Just received two email updates from USCIS this morning:
I-751: A new card is being produced N400: We scheduled your naturalization ceremony Although when I check under documents, the actual oath ceremony letter has not yet been uploaded. I will update our timeline once the letter has been uploaded, or upon receiving the snail mail.  At the rate which Chicago court houses are wrapping up ceremonies these days, my wife should be a citizen before Christmas! I don't know what we would do if it weren't for all the love and support we have received on these forums. Thank you all for sharing stories about your journey, and providing useful information along the way. For those of you still waiting, hang in there! 

Yes, agreed. Phones are totally fine.

Congratulations, flash9153! I am very happy for you guys! The 17 days was not bad at all, and now it is time to pop that champagne and celebrate the end of this protracted journey. Your card should be in your hands by end of next week. I just got mine today, and the "A new is being produced" notice you just had, showed up on Monday. All the best to you, and yours!

Update on my wife's interview on 10/03 at the Chicago office. 
 
Our officer was probably the nicest gentleman there. When he called my wife's #, I accompanied her to the door to ask if I'm needed for a combo interview, and he kindly said, "yes please, you can join her".
 
I-751
After going in, the officer took my wife's biometrics and then she was sworn in to tell the truth. The first thing he did was explain to us that he ROC was pending, therefore he will first interview her on that application. He started by collecting all the documents that we had brought for verification of identity, which included  expired GC, both our passports, driver's licenses and social security card. After verifying our identities, he collected evidence for continuing relationship. We provided tax returns for three years, recent bank statements, copy of lease agreement, health and car insurance documents with both our names. I didn't have any utility bills with both our names, but he was content with rest of the evidence. Then he went through the entire application line by line including all the dates, addresses, yes or no questions, etc. He was incredibly thorough and didn't skip over anything. After that, he said that the i751 application looks good, he doesn't have any reservations approving it. However he said that he is new at doing combo interviews, so it'll take a few days before he can have the application adjudicated. I'll take that as a win in my book, waiting a few days is acceptable than having to wait months for NBC to adjudicate the i751. 
 
N400
 
After that, he returned my passport and driving license but held on to my wife's. Once again, my wife had her left index finger scanned, and swore to tell the truth. At this point, I thought I was going to have to leave, but he didn't say anything. He already had all the evidence he needed from i751 application, so he didn't ask for it again. Also, all of my wife's evidence was  submitted online, so he had it on his screen for review. He started with the civics exam, then reading, lastly the written portion. She passed all three, so the officer congratulated her. After that, he went through the application line by line. He actually found a couple of minor errors, which he corrected and then asked my wife to review the corrections and then sign off on them through a mounted iPad. After that he printed a piece of paper that says she passed the exam but a decision cannot yet be made. To that he explained, he needs to adjudicate the i751 first, which will take a few days, and then he'll process the N400 to put her in queue for an oath. WE WERE ECSTATIC! Couldn't believe our ears. This crazy journey might actually be coming to an end very soon. I'll keep posted when I see an updates on My USCIS account, or receive something in mail.

This is great news, thank you for sharing. Do you by any chance remember the officer's name?
 
My wife's interview is on Wednesday, we are crossing our fingers to get a combo interview. I have gathered all the evidence and planning to go with her. 

Hi All,
 
I have been following this chain for sometime now.
 
I had my N400 / I751 interview today at the Chicago Office and would like to share my experience.
 
I showed up to my 9am interview 5 mins before ( Cutting it close i know lol), any way i signed in and saw a ton of people waiting. I found out that some folks were waiting for their Oath Ceremony to begin and the others we there for their interview. Anyway i was still expecting a decent wait time, but got called within 5 mins of sitting down.
 
Now, my wife was not with me at the time as she is in school and is not allowed to miss classes, being that it was the N400 interview and it never asked for her to be present. I told my wife to come after she got out of class at 10am, so i was actually banking on having a long wait time so she could show up. As i mentioned i got called within 5 mins of sitting down by the interviewing officer, and would you know the first thing she said to me was
"I noticed you did not come with your spouse" of which i responded she is on her way. The officer followed with, "Okay, we will try to get through the pending I-751 as much as possible without her. I said Okay, and explained that she is in school and is not allowed to miss classes.
 
I751 Interview
 
We walked in her office and she asked to me to remain standing as she placed me under oath. From their she pulled out an extensive detailed file of all my filings, and God knows what other info she had on her screen but she had tons of info. She spent some time going through my file and it looked like she was getting familiar with what was already submitted and not submitted. Anyway she then asked if i had my most recent Tax forms, and additional proof to show a bonafide marriage. I gave her all my tax documents dating back 4 or 5 years, and the original marriage certificate, as well as info showing my wife on my insurance plan, and a car insurance card with both or names on it. She took all of that and then asked for all my passports issued, as well as my green card. From their she started flipping through my file again and it seems she was looking at pics we submitted when we applied for the ROC, she then asked if we still had our dog and i said yes we do.
 
Then she started fact checking all that was inputted in the application, asking me my name, DOB, Address, Phone # etc. Then she asked me my wife's DOB, and if she currently resides with me.
 
The we moved on to the N400 Application.
 
We jumped right into the Civics test. (Sorry i do not remember the questions) I got the first 6 right and we moved on to the Reading and Written piece which i also passed. We verified that my info submitted was correct and she asked me a long list of the Yes or No questions on the application, Goes without saying that the majority of the time spent was me saying No to questions like "Have you ever supported a communist party" etc.
 
Then she asked me if i had traveled out the country the last 5 years, i said yes and listed all the places. Then she asked if i stayed 6 months outside of the US at anytime since my residency i said no
 
From their she had me sign some papers and docs on an Ipad, and told me she was approving my I751 and Recommending my N400 for approval. So i then asked her does she still need to see my wife. She replied: "No, you provided enough info" Then i asked if i could text my wife to not come anymore, she said it was okay. Then she told me that i should receive a letter in the mail advising me on my oath ceremony date in 6 weeks or less.
 
The interview took around 30 -35mins, i was expecting it to be longer. However i had a great experience with the officer, i walked out on cloud nine as i was terrified i wouldn't be approved without my wife being present.
 
I hope this info helps someone as much as your submissions have helped me prepare.
 
Thank You all!
 
 
 
 
 

Anybody here from Chicago who had their combo interview approved? I am hearing on other threads that Chicago office doesn't do combo interview even if the spouse is present. My wife is March 2017 i-751 filer (currently pending and transferred to NBC) and February 2018 N400 filer. Her N400 interview was just scheduled for 10/03/18. Do you folks think that they we will successfully receive a combo interview? Or is our journey still going to be significantly longer? 

We did not receive anything that said "in line" on paper. Although I did call the helpline couple of weeks before receiving interview letter, and at that time they said that my wife is in line to be scheduled for an interview. It took us roughly six months for receive that letter. 

Wish you good luck @flash9153!! I am in the same boots-  pending combo, please visit the existing thread about N400  I-751 Chicago combo filers, there was a post about successful combo interview recently in Chicago. Which gives us all some hope. Also I would recommend to consult with a representative from your disctrict , see what they say about your scheduled interview.
Please post about your experience, when your interview will come up!!

A lot of people are suggesting ACA through marketplace, but I don't think that's available until the open enrollment period. Although pregnancy may actually be considered a qualifying life event, so OP should certainly look into it. 
 
State MedicAid rules vary quite a bit, also look into that.

Finally got my oath ceremony schedule, it’s on September 21st. I will be able to vote in November after all.

As I wrote earlier, if the administration/Stephen Miller were truly concerned about "US taxpayers propping up immigrants receiving benefits", then why not simply enforce the Affidavit of Support and make the sponsor reimburse the govt?  Instead, this just reeks as a lame attempt to kick out lawful immigrants.
 
Gotta say it - republicans are living in the now, but are toast in the next few decades if they can't expand their base beyond what it currently is.  Changing demographics are gonna catch up to them.

I've got this coming in the mail today. 

@AK_2014 - Fingers crossed and praying. That is quite a nightmare! 
 
We have also applied for N400 with I-751 pending. Is it fairly typical for N400 interviews to get denied when I751 is pending? I have read on some forums that they sometimes complete the two together. 

Your wait time is heavily dependent on which field office is processing your application. Ours is Chicago, which currently seems to be running at 6-8 months to schedule an interview. Meanwhile, some field offices are turning around the entire process in <4 months. 
 
If you believe your processing time is outside of normal, then you can make a case inquiry here: https://egov.uscis.gov/e-Request/Intro.do 
Although, they probably won't look into it until your case is at least about a year old.
