Hi!  You may enter the U.S. as a CR1 using the U.S./Canadian/LPR lanes.  You can tell the ushers in the immigration hall and they will direct you to those lanes.  When you arrive at the control, the CBP officer will escort you to a room where your packet will be opened and processed.  Welcome to the U.S.!

My N400 and I751 got approved today. Let's see when is my Oath ceremony. 

We have an oath date!  Friday June 14!  Flag Day!

Hi Everyone!  My husband had his N400 interview today at the Field Office in Royal Palm Beach, FL.  As our I-751 hadn't been adjudicated, we were unsure what was going to happen today.  As soon as he was called in, they both came back out to get me, so I then knew that we were going to have a combo interview.  The officer was very nice.  We were in there for over an hour and a half, with the bulk of the time dedicated to the 751, and only about 20 minutes for the N400.  Once she approved the 751, she asked me to sit in the back of the office so she could adjudicate the N400.  She spent quite a bit of time going through the questions on the form as well as his work history.  We aren't sure why. The test itself was as we had expected.  He was asked five civics questions, which he answered all correctly:
 
1.  Why are there more representatives in some states and not others?
2.  Name one state that borders Canada.
3.  How many senators are there?
4.  Who is the current Speaker of the House?  (She was impressed that he got that one right, as not many people do!)
5.  Who is the current Vice President?
 
He was then dictated to write the following sentence:  Columbus Day is in October.
 
That was about it.  His status for the N400 has changed to "Notice for Oath Ceremony mailed"!  So we're 95% done!!!
 
Good luck to everyone who is still waiting.  You'll get there!!!

Hi everyone!  We received our interview letter from USCIS yesterday!  May 30 in Royal Palm Beach, FL!  We still have a pending I-751 filed in December 2017.  No mention of that in the letter, but we are preparing for a combo interview.  My husband is going to call customer service and speak to a Tier 2 to make sure both will be adjudicated at the same time.  Ever onward!!!

Hi!  Just to add an update to ours; entered info myself.  Still no word on I-751; N400 biometrics done 1/7/2019.  I-751 case status stuck in sent to local office mode last dated 1/26/2018.

I sent only copies of the past three years worth of tax returns with the original submission.  I submitted tons of bank statements with our pending 751, so they already have them.  If they want them, go fish!  I'll bring a few more recent ones to the combo interview, but enough is enough of duplicate bureaucracy!  We can't wait to be rid of USCIS this year!!!

We did!😄

Hi Everyone!  We submitted our N400 by mail to the Houston Lockbox on 12/4 and received our I-797C NOA1 today.  Priority date 12/12/2018.  We checked our status and they scheduled the biometrics appointment today, so we will be checking the mail for the date to that.  Has anyone joined (or found) N400 Dec 2018 filers thread?  I guess many of us will be following both!

Thanks everyone for all the replies - very helpful. It seems that NSC is just being random and not processing cases in any particular order. Very vexing indeed!
