EAD seems to be coming first and solo 

Updates: I already received my interview notice that it will be on November 13th at 26 federal plaza. About a month from now, wish me luck  

After 9 months waiting  i can finally announce i am officially an US Citizen. 
There were 131 people from 35 countries got naturalized. i was holding my certificate only for 45 minutes because i went straight and applied for my passport with expedite service and overnight delivery. Done with N400 and soon another process starting for I 130
Best of luck to all January fillers.

My appointment is scheduled for October 9 at Federal Plaza in Manhattan
Can't wait!

Finally, after the long wait. Praise God!
 
Hold on tight, to my fellow Oct 2017 Filers especially to those who received an RFE letter like me. Good luck and God bless.

We received a text message, then an email today from USCIS-CaseStatus@uscis.dhs.gov.
Our interview in Virginia has been scheduled.
Now, must wait for the the interview notice with date/time, etc. to arrive by mail.  🙂

Hi everyone,
 
today alil before 2pm, I got message from USCIS case status that’s my case status is changed to “new card is being produced”
 
i guess that that means I got approved??
yay😁

Thanks ya'll! My ceremony has been scheduled and now I'm just waiting to find out when and where! Good luck to you all!

Just got a text notification that my interview is scheduled.  

Day 508 and I can finally say my i-751 journey is complete! My 10-year Green Card arrived in the mail today. Woo-hooo!
 
I have to give it back at my oath ceremony next month, but I did enjoy swapping out my expired 2-year Green card and getting rid of the 18-month extension letter. 
 
You guys rock, the support here is awesome. Speedy Green Card wishes to everyone who is still waiting. 
 
 
 
 

I got my oath letter today so that is one week after my interview.  It is in 2 weeks so that is 3 weeks after my interview. 
 

Thanks to all that responded. I got my  i 751 (filed september 2017 ,Charleston Office) interview to remove conditions today and everything went great. I didn't mention in the original post that I had filed N400 in September 2018 too. I got that interview on 12/10/18 but went without my wife so the officer told me I would be rescheduled because that was a combo interview and my wife had to be with me. So one piece of advice, if you get the combo interview, take your spouse with you, no matter what.
Today I thought I'd only have the i751 interview, the officer was super nice and told me after approving my i751 (very simple questions) "you're not going anywhere, since you're here let's have the N400 interview too" I waited in the lobby for around 20' checking my Civics Test app (there are a few on the appstore) this really helped me prepare. After that time, another officer called me and conducted the N400 interview, he made me read one sentence from a Tablet (who's the commander in chief of armed forces? ) and asked me to write the answer on the same tablet with a stylus. He then asked me 6 questions from that booklet they have , I answered correctly all of them.During the interview he asked me questions covering his mouth while typing in the computer, I guess to test my listening English skills, he asked me simple questions (what's your SSN, where do you work etc) but in low voice and covering his mouth, this was kind of funny. 
 
He finally told me I'd passed everything and to wait outside and that he was going to try to give me an Oath Ceremony date today too. 15' later they called me to give me form  N445 (Naturalization Oath Ceremony). I will attend my Oath Ceremony on 03/26.
 
Thanks a lot for the help during all this time, I constantly checked this forum for the last 2/3 years. It was of great help.
 
Good luck to all

Faster than they estimated 😉 Congrats and don't forget to paint your face red, blue and white  😁

More than enough 😁 Are you attaching a copy of your marriage license? And joint taxes going back as far as you can? Just making sure 😉
 
Good luck and thank you for all that you do!

The "interview" can happen even if the security checks are incomplete.  The "approval" CANNOT happen if the security checks are incomplete.

Causation does not equal correlation. 

I just finished collecting and scanning the support documents for my wife's I-751 package which I will send out in 10 days.  I hope we can avoid an interview.  These are the documents I have prepared:
 
READY-Apartment lease with both our names & signatures
READY-Periodic Joint bank checking acct statements since wife's arrival in June 2017.
READY-Deed for new home with both our names
READY-Home Mortgage Lender Letter with both our names.
READY-Credit Cards showing both on joint account with same card number.
READY-Amazon delivery label showing both names and our current address.
READY-Wife's Military Dependent ID card showing me as the sponsor.
READY-Tricare Eligibility Letter showing both of us together.
READY-Military pay statement showing wife as my benefic.
READY-Texas Health Care Directives appointing each other as sole health care proxy(Advanced Directives)
READY-Our Texas driver's licenses with same address for both of us
READY-2018 Joint Tax ReturnTax Returns 
READY-Pictures of us on special occasions here in the US.
READY-Car Insurance Cards showing both of us as insured drivers for our car
READY-Boarding Passes for Las Vegas Valentine Day Trip 2019
READY-Utility application showing both our names for our current address
READY- Scanned front and back of wife's conditional Green Card
 
I plan to attach a cover letter per the example in the VJ I-751 guide, a check for $680.00, and the completed I-751.
Am I missing anything?
 

I added the Decleration on the letter. Lawyer said if declaration is added then notary is not required 

Tell him this: HA HA HA from visajourney group  We all got worried here! Awesome, thanks for sharing!

He answered the first 6 questions right so they didn’t ask anymore. 
 
3 he remembers are:
 
president during  world war 1
 
2 house of representative members from our state 
 
the date the constitution was written
 
He used the USCIS civics app to study and watched a 35 minutes youtube video that has the same questions as the app but it's just presented in video form.  The link for that is:
 

Faster than they estimated 😉 Congrats and don't forget to paint your face red, blue and white  😁

Finally after a good 17 months wait just saw this today😁

Ok!  So my husband is officially approved!  We are just waiting for the oath date.  This was on the USCIS website when I checked tonight. 
 
March 8, 2019
We approved your application
Your final step to becoming a citizen is to attend your naturalization ceremony
We will mail you a letter when we schedule your naturalization ceremony.
Estimated wait time:
4 months
Current as of today at 8:18 p.m.       I guess we will see if it is really 4 months.  Everything has been moving so quickly with this particular application.  I remember the days when it seemed like our k1 would never get approved!  It felt like it took a lifetime! 

If your extension is expiring this month and you still haven't received an interview letter for N-400, then you better go get your passport stamped at the local office. Even if you get an interview letter today, the interview won't happen until a month later and then you have to wait for Oath ceremony. What is your field office?

Oath scheduled. Finally! Do not know the date yet. The online USCIS page is still showing oath ceremony will be scheduled. Can’t wait for the process to be over!! 🙂🙂
