    I already posted this in another discussion, but it also fits here: 
     
     I just had my naturalization interview in Washington D.C... which turned out to be a combo interview for i-751 and N-400. I was approved for both/passed both, but the i-751 needs to be adjudicated first. Also, I won't receive the physical 10 year green card as I will at the same time receive citizenship. I-751 was filed in June 2018 in Vermont. 
    The officer told me to expect a status change by end of tomorrow and oath ceremony in either January or February. 
     
    The overall experience was very good; the officer was nice and the entire appointment took 20 minutes. My husband and two week old daughter were there as well. First, he told me that he needs to adjudicate my i-751 case. He asked me and my husband about our names, DOBs, my daughter's name and her birth certificate, both husband and I had to show documents. He also asked when was our wedding  (didn't ask for marriage certificate). He added my baby's info in the system. Then we moved to naturalization interview. First was the civics test, then I read a short sentence and wrote a simple sentence (officer told me what to write). Then he asked me YES/NO questions from the application (have you ever been.. part of xyz, have you ever been arrested etc). Then the interview was completed. 
    He approved my naturalization and i-751, but said that the approval would be done by end of tomorrow. 
     
    So happy to be done with this!

    Congratulations. Praying soon for us. Still trying to make a Infopass the last month. Our 18 month letter expires on Saturday. USCIS needs to do much better this is ridiculous.

    Hello!
    I'm joining the group Hubby and I sent my petition to remove conditions on June 9 and I got NOA1 with status extended for 18 months on June 23. We sent the package to Vermont. 
    Good luck to all and hopefully we don't wait too long.

    Having read 3 pages of posts on this thread.... You really, really need to call a lawyer. Nobody on here knows your situation, likely nobody on here is an actual lawyer and even if they are, they're not going to give you legitimate legal advice. You're going to drive yourself crazy reading all these opinions. What you need right now are facts, not opinions. So, step away from the VJ boards, call a lawyer or two, and take some time to think about what to do. No judgment here.

    I love my husband more than life. Im the european wife. Its hard. Its really hard moving to a new country. If you see that theres real love there, then dont give up! Have YOU maybe overlooked the cultural difference that might be the real source here?? I mean, so forexample my husband wanted me to be a stay at home mom and not work. Uhmmm most people thought i was lucky. But my culture, is that we all work. I love working!! I dont want to stare into the walls. I want to continue the life i loved before, now just with the love of my life. It took a long time till he overcame that difference in our culture. We dont have stay at homes. Nothing negative about it. I just didnt grow up with that being normal. Maybe if you look at Ukranien culture you will find that your dilemma is the norm in Ukraine? And therefore maybe not ur fiance whos being unresonable about money. Maybe thats All she knows? If she grew up learning thats how its done in a household.. You cant change anyones upbringing in a month. Like i said, if there is genuine and real love, dont give up. I still get homesick. Noone knows how hard it is moving away from your country, unless you have tried it. It takes years to adapt to a new country people say.. Give love time. If youre not interested in losing her. Hope all the best for you no matter the decision!! Its not easy! Chin up! Camilla

    None of us here are experts on relationships........thats kind of a personal thing you have to work thru on your own..........with that being said with the information you have provided if i was in your shoes i would run fast in the opposite direction.....the school of hard knocks has taught me love dont cure everything and if there are issues big enough to make you doubt the feelings and dedication to you from your partner chances are that you should just move on
