    You're welcome.  Please keep us closely apprised.

    Interestingly enough I reapplied for all four, 2 of them got Case Administratively Closed (wife and daughter) status but 2 of them (him and younger daughter) got their cases confirmed. 
    Should I reapply for wife and daughter one more time, tried to add some sort of comment stating that this is not the duplicate and I am actually interested in getting them to the States? Or even explaining the whole situation in the additional comments section?

    Just a simple form that you sign to give the office permission to get involved.

     

    If you know who your Congressman is, find his/her website, and there will be links to various subjects or to request general help.  I would phone the most local office for best direction of how to proceed.  Remember that it's the holidays, so some staff might be on vacation.

    Will do that asap, thank you so much for guidance!

    I haven't heard of this before. Maybe you should give CBP (202-325-8000) a call. They are the ones that do the travel authorizations.

    Thank you I did contact them, there's a special line for Uniting for Ukraine program via this phone number. Unfortunately the rep told me that they don't have the information on why it was revoked, and I can try reapplying, it might work or it might not. 
    Pretty much the same answer I got from the USCIS :(

  4. I had my combo interview on Friday in Los Angeles too, all went well I think but officer didn't give me Oath letter, and said to wait for an email ? And now my I751 status says Interview Was Completed And My Case Must Be Reviewed. He gave me a paper that says "congratulations Im recommending your case for the approval" tho
    I hope they're not trying to find something on my case :(

    @Renegade, congrats! You're done! There is no need to be nervous. Though, it is only natural. ☺️


    Thank you! That's true, but I know that our case gonna pass through a different officer as well before getting finally approved, that's why I nervous. Quite frankly this officer gave me impression that he was trying his best to find some missing things on our case, although he was very polite.
    I guess that's their job 😕

  6. Hi guys! I had my combo interview this morning at 7:45AM, want to share my experience.

    I751 filed May 2019 ( Case status was Interview Cancelled since March 2020)
    N400 filed September 2020 ( Interview scheduled April 15 for May 21)

    My office is Los Angeles. The line for check in windows was about 15-20 minutes long. (By the way my interview notice stated that I should come alone or with lawyer, but ignore that, no one asked my husband anything)  After checking in I told receptionist that my husband is with me because we have I751 pending. She said that officer is aware of that.
    After checking in the wait was surprisingly short, got called my name in 2 minutes.
    The officer asked us to take the Oath, and said that he's gonna do I751 first then we will move to N400. At first he asked to give him evidence that we brought, so I gave him 2 albums with pictures together, plus about 30 pictures from the trips we took in 2020 (He asked if he can keep these pictures, which was kinda odd to me) , also gave him bank statements, utility bills and last 4 years of tax returns.
    He looked every single picture, then he looked at out ID's (Unfortunately my id had our old address and my husbands ID had even older address, we explained that to the officer, he seemed okay), after reviewing evidence he started asking questions
    How did you meet
    When was your first date
    Who proposed
    Why do you want to live in the US


    After that he asked my husband how he became a US citizen ( We passed his Naturalization Certificate)

     

    He was taking notes on the paper. 
    After all the questions he asked my husband to wait outside so we can start N400.

    N400 part of the interview was super easy, we started with civic test (Answered correctly to all 6 questions) then basic speaking and writing test. After that he started asking basic questions from my application, in the end he showed me the updated info and asked me to sign, and
    after that he said that he needs some time to input some information and asked me to wait in the lobby.
    After approximately 10 minutes he came outside and asked me to go get 2 passport style photos and drop it off to him. After getting the photos I asked the guard if I can drop off those pics to the officer, so the guard called him again.
    Officer grabbed my pics and said that he need to input all the info into the computer and asked me to wait (It was really weird that he didn't tell us if we're approved or not, and I was afraid to ask), this time the wait was little longer about 20 minutes, he came out again and said
    that n400 probably won't get approved today since the system has delays in processing, that's when we both asked him if we are approved, and he said yes he's recommending our case for approval and handed us a notice N652 with checkmarks near I passed the Civic and English test, and also under Congratulations!
    He said that Oath Ceremony should be on Wednesday and I need to wait for an email.

    We thanked him and left the building.

    My I751 case status changed to Interview Was Completed And My Case Must Be Reviewed 
    My N400 still has the same status Interview Scheduled.

    Still kinda nervous and paranoid that they are reviewing the case file in order to find some mistakes, hopefully everything will be officially approved soon.

    Texas was extended until June 15th due to the ice storm.

     

    For me I was swamped working just until 2 weeks ago fixing and repairing water and gas lines that got destroyed or impacted. I can see why they extended it.  Many people were displaced from their homes for months.


    Aw I didn't know that :(

    My 2020 taxes were getting rejected online so I had to send them via mail, and my n400 interview is in 2 days, so I'm gonna take the copy of what I sent and just explain them what happened. Hopefully won't be a problem.

  8. Hey guys! My N400 interview is scheduled on May 21-st (LA office) , presumably it's gonna be a combo interview (No official words yet). 
    I sent bank statements, affidavits from friends, travel tickets etc, with the package. I also sent a photo album but they returned it.

    What else should I take with me for the interview? Im planning to bring that album + recent photos from the trips + recent bank statements. 

  9. Hi guys! 
    The end of my citizenship journey is near, today I got the mail that my N400 interview is scheduled on May 21 (Filed September 2020), however my I-751 (Filed May 2019) is still pending, the last update I got was is Interview Cancelled (March 2020).

    What should I expect on my N400 interview? Is it going to be combined (My spouse is definitely coming with me)

    Also can you recommend any good guides on how to prepare for this interview? 

    Thank you!
