Today my i751 status changes to Approved and n400 status changed to Oath ceremony will be scheduled.

I guess this is the end of my immigration journey, very excited and happy. Best of luck to everyone who's still waiting ❤️ 

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. 

 

Same thing happened with me, I'm just holding the album to take to the interview.

Hi guys! Any info on MSC1991****** cases?

So let me start by telling that we are a gay couple living in a quite homophobic country, so we are married in Denmark instead of our country, because it's illegal here.

My appointment was at 2pm, I've arrived around 1:30, and immediately entered the building. There was no applicants waiting to enter. Inside, I've showed passport, got a security check, and gave 2 photos.

There was around 10 people waiting. I've waited for around 15-20 minutes , and got called to submit all my paperwork. Lady took almost everything, including my 500 pages worth evidence of relationship. There where no remarks of us being gay. The next wait was for the actual interview, there was only one consul working, and majority of people where DV Lottery winners. So I've waited for approx 1,5-2 hours.

So the consular officer was very polite and smiley person, that immediately put me on ease. First he read the oath, and I've said yes I swear, then he showed me my marriage certificate, and asked me with a smile, why do you got married in Denmark. I've said that we are a gay couple, and its impossible to marry here. 
Then he started to look at our paperwork, and it was really a MASSIVE looking folder, I've said Im sorry for that, but we wanted to prepare as much as we can, and he said, that's completely OK!
He asked a few questions about my husband, like how do we meet, where he was working, when he immigrated and so on. He was joking all the time and the questions were simple  really! 
He looked very briefly at our photos (100+ photos with lots of trips together), looked at our chat logs, and he was typing something all the time. 
And that's pretty much it, he handed over a pink paper, and told me to get visa in 5-10 days. I've got very lucky, because this was a very nice and kind officer. 
Actual interview lasted around 10 minutes, after that I've asked him are there any more fees to pay from here, he said that only Green Card fee left to be paid, then I've told him that we want to leave the country in mid July, will that be a problem? He said that visa is valid for 6 months, and medical is valid until early September.

Good luck to all!

Good luck!  Our interview was on March 1 and we had two big binders with evidence so I totally understand where you're coming from.  If you can make copies of both your passports to show that you've traveled to see each other, that would be good.  Our interview lasted for 10 mins and we both attended the interview and were both asked questions.  However, we were not asked to produce any bit of evidence but perhaps this was because we front loaded the I-130 application with a lot of photos and other evidence.  The interview was the smoothest part of the entire process.  All will be well  

Very good - you will be fine

It is still (unfortunately) quite common for the family of gay couples to either not know or be in a don't-ask-don't-tell state about a relationship.  Be honest if you are asked about it.  If you have others (friends, cousins, etc.) who are supportive of your relationship, don't be afraid to talk about them as your "chosen family".
 
Gay couples are not the only ones who face family pressure.  Age, race and religion can also cause parents to have conniption fits over relationships.  We all get through it, somehow.
 
Best of luck to you!

The congressman office sent me an inquiry form via email, I've filled the form and sent it back. They are going to investigate ASAP, it was quite easy.

You can do it via USCIS app, search around your number and add all cases from your date to the list. That's sounds crazy but I am tracking more than 1500 cases.
