Hi All:
 
Today I received my interview notices in the mail. There are 2 interview notices in one envelop, one for I-751 and one for N-400 stapled together. Both are scheduled at the same time on May 13th, 2021. 

I got my interview notice! Interview scheduled for May 10. I got two notices, one for each case so I'm expecting a combo interview.

Well I am now a US citizen!  Passed the interview, same day oath.  All done.
For those still to go through San Bernardino it was all quite logical.  Everyone was professional and courteous.  I entered the building about 10 minutes before my appointment time.  My name was called 25 minutes after the appointment time.  The interview took about 30 minutes.  They were doing an oath ceremony every half an hour, and I just missed one (They started one while my paperwork/certificate was being processed), so I had to wait just over a half hour for the ceremony.  The ceremony itself was only a few minutes.  The officer read the names off the certificates, we stood up, repeated the oath and received our certificates.  I left the building about 1 hour, 45 minutes after entering.

I was not allowed in.

Yes, she was able to join me inside. 

Congratulations.  My interview is tomorrow.  I hope I get same day oath as well.

Wife is finally a US Citizen! She had her interview this morning and the oath ceremony followed immediately after. The interview was on the second floor and the oath was on the first floor. Appointment was at 7:30am and by 9:30am we were done and on our way. Glad to finally be done with the process. VisaJourney has been a great resource the past few years. 

My interview was scheduled for May 10 at 7:30am, San Bernardino office CA. I actually got two notices, stapled together. One for I-751 and one for N-400 so it is safe to assume I'll get a combo interview. My online status only reflects this for N-400 though. I-751 still stuck at "case transferred".

Finally movement in my case!! Interview has been scheduled for my I-751, waiting for the letter with the appointment date.

Am new on here and being following ya all posts for a while. Did my naturalization interview yesterday 03/31/21 @ San Bernardino. It was not hard at all. Interview was at 1130am. Got there at 1115am, checked in by the security, went up to the second floor where the receptionist took my appointment letter. 45mins later i was called in by my interviewer. The whole thing lasted a bit but mainly because he read out all the NO questions. First thing he did when i came in was to tell me to put my portfolio of documents (a lot of documents) on the chair behind me and that the only thing he'll be needing from me will be my state ID and my 10 years green card. He did not ask me for anything else, so guys take not of that. After that we went through my N400 application and made some corrections. We did the reading and the writing part first "WHO CAN VOTE" and he told me to write down "ANY CITIZEN CAN VOTE". Then he proceeded to the civic question 1. What is an amendment? 2. If the president can no longer serve, who becomes president? 3. Who is the Chief Justice of the US now? 4. Name one right only for United States citizens? 5. What is the name of the vice president now? 6. Name your U.S Representative?. Then to the NO and YES  (Please listen attentively here guys, no room for mistakes). Lastly, guys know the meaning of an Oath and Oath of allegiance, I had to explain to him what it meant before my final signature was administered. You have to include that you are letting go of your country of origin and now pledging your allegiance to the United States. Thats it guys and i did my swearing in immediately and am now officially  a United States Citizens. 

Sorry all,
 
I accidently submitted the post incomplete. Lol. 
 
I am officially done with my immigration process. I had my naturalization interview today, got approved, and had a same-day oath.
 
Appointment was at 1:15pm. My wife and I entered at 1:00pm and got our temperature taken and had the usual Covid screening questions. Once inside, we had to go to the second floor, turn in my appointment letter and wait to be called by an officer.
 
Officer called me in around 1:45pm. My wife and I both went, but he told my wife to wait outside. I politely told him that our interview letter says she needs to accompany me as it is a Combo interview. He said that he would only process the N-400 application as the I-751 was no longer necessary.
 
Once inside, I took the initial oath saying I will say the truth. He proceeded to have me show him my military card, green card, and government ID. Once he verified it was me, he had me take the reading test, and I had to read "Who elects Congress?"
 
Once that was done, he had me take the Writing test and I had to write "The People elect Congress" on the tablet. 
 
He then proceeded to ask me the civics question.
 
The 6 questions he asked were:
 
What is one promise you make when you become a US Citizen?
Why does the flag have 50 stars?
Who did the US fight in WWII?
The House of Representatives has how many voting members?
What do we show loyalty to when we say the Pledge of Allegiance? 
What did Susan B. Anthony do? 
 
he stopped after the 6th question.
 
One thing he did not ask me was which test I wanted to take. Technically I was supposed to choose between the 2020 and 2008 one, but he didn't ask. I was ok with it the 2008 one though because I studied for that one the most. lol
 
We then went over my application again and I had to change a few things that I accidently put wrong. I work for a University and I put that I was a student there. And the university that I was a student at, I put that I worked there. So that got fixed. 
 
He asked me if I still wanted a name change, and I told him yes. He then proceeded to process the name change and told me that my new name certificate would be given at the oath. 
 
Once I passed the civics test, he proceeded to asking me the yes or no questions. Be alert, he did ask me to define certain terms on the N-400 application. I am glad I studied definitions because they were part of my interview. He asked me to define communism, genocide, militia, and another term I forgot.
 
Once we went over the application, he said I had been approved. He told me I was still early enough to make it to the oath ceremony down below. 
 
I asked him what will happen to the I-751 application that was pending. He told me not to worry about it. He said that since I applied through military, my I-751 did not have to be approved for me to become a citizen.
 
I then left his office, my wife and I went downstairs to the oath ceremony room and I conducted the oath by myself. 
 
My wife was allowed to see... just couldn't take pictures or anything. After the oath I was given my Certificate of Naturalization along with the name change request. Overall, the process was nice and smooth.
 
Feel free to ask me any questions.

Hi all, 
 
Just an update. My wife had her N-400 Interview at Hartford. She went to the office around 2pm for 2:15pm interview time slot. She was called at 2:16pm and interview went for about 15-20 minutes. Office didn't ask many questions about the application and she passed the civics and English test. The officer then told her that since she has a pending I-751 (removal of conditional residency) he is going to need to investigate her file further. He mentioned that the Green Card application needs to be stopped and cannot move forward because the citizenship process should be the last thing. She asked if he can perform a combo interview since I was waiting in the car. He mentioned that he cannot do an interview because he needs to stop the green card process instead of moving it forward. She was given a paper that states that she passed the civics and English test but her application needs to be further reviewed. He mentioned that he will review her file either today or tomorrow. We checked her online profile just now and it shows that it went through a quality review and she has been approved for oath, and an oath was scheduled. We were slightly concerned that the pending I-751 would impact her N-400 or we may be called back in for another interview but it looks like we may be okay. Hopefully, the oath letter will show up in the profile over the next couple of days and we will know for sure when/if the oath is scheduled. 
 
Not sure if this has happened to anyone else. This was the first time I came across this. Normally, people on this board have had a combo interview. Seemed strange but hoping it turns out okay. 
 
There is no change to her I-751 case status online. It still is stuck at ready for interview as of Jan. 22 2020. 

I got my passport stamped yesterday.. 
I filed in July 2019 SRC Texas,
I'm in alabama still waiting 😓

I did nothing except marry the wrong person - a narcissist with a nasty spiteful and vindictive streak, that lied to USCIS after we separated, in the full knowledge of what it would do. 
 
If you look at my timeline, I applied for my citizenship three years ago as soon as eligible and had an interview for that 2 years ago that was cancelled on the day without explanation. 
I’ve also had so many congressperson & senator enquiries I have lost count at this point, in addition to multiple ombudsman enquiries...
 
USCIS are accountable to no-one, except possibly a federal court, and even that is only in certain circumstances. 

My GC interview was also at 7:15 am back in 2017, same office. But yeah, that's really early lol

It went well. I was in and out in 15 minutes. I was really hoping they would say "ah since you're here, let's interview you" 🤣 Of course they didn't. The officer said I was likely to be interviewed before the 12-month stamp expires. That the I-751 is taking about 2 years to be processed. My appointment was at 7:15am, they took my GC and gave me a copy of it.

How was your infopass experience at San Bernardino Field Office? did you get a chance to ask any questions you may have with them? 

Okay, I checked myUSCIS for my NOA and my interview schedule is on April 12, Monday, at 8:05 am (so dang early!) in LA office. I will keep everyone posted after this day. ❤️❤️❤️ This is it!

Received interview letter in the mail yesterday. Interview is April 6.

I also called USCIS on Monday to schedule infopass appointment. I was told they will call me within 14 days. We'll see. My local office is San Bernardino, CA.

I received text from USCIS this morning to check my online status. On March 3, they now have an N400 interview scheduled for me, so I am waiting for the notice of when it will be. It will probably be a combo interview, so I will still bring my husband with me. I will keep you posted. 🥰🙏🏼

Hi all - long time lurker here but just wanted to share a data point.
 
Wife filed for I-751 in July 2019 (MSC) and online status has been showing ready for interview since Jan 22 2020. Biometrics were in late 2019. Filed N-400 in July 2020. 18-month extension letter soon to expire in March so tried to create an infopass appointment for a passport stamp. As soon as we put in a request, we got a notification regarding interview date (I doubt the request for infopass drove the interview date but it was just two days after so pretty interesting). I wonder if they will still schedule the infopass for the green card stamp. Interview date is for March end. Will be interesting to see if they make the interview a combo. Will share updates if I get more. 
 
All the best to everyone!
