    Very quiet in this forum. Has anyone had any interviews scheduled on Newark recently? I filed in October 2020 and I was hopeful that I would hear something by now but still nothing.

    Closing the loop on my journey - N400 interview at the SF office 8/18 (~13 months after initial application, 3 year rule via marriage).

    Interview (via iPad) was very straightforward. I was offered same day oath but was traveling internationally the next day, so they offered a new date of 8/30. I was slightly worried because my oath ceremony was scheduled within 10 days of my return from travel, but the agent at the front deck just asked some questions about the travel itself and all was good.
     
    Already registered to vote and my application for passport just submitted!
     
    Thanks to the entire community for their support over the past few years. It's a long road. Good luck!

    Congratulations!  For the combo interview, did USCIS notify you that it will be a combo interview?  Our N400 interview is coming up and hoping it will be a combo interview.  Thanks!

    Thanks!
     
    No they do not notify or mention that the interview will be a "combo". Both my statuses (N-400 first, then I-751) changed within hours saying interviews were scheduled. I received two appointment letters, one for each, showing the appointments at the exact same date and time.
    The funny part is that the USCIS building in San Francisco is at an intersection, with entrances on each street. The appointment letters were indicating two different addresses, though they lead to the same spot. I was aware of the configuration so I didn't worry too much, but I can see it being a ####### moment if you are not familiar with the building.
     
    I'v heard that sometimes, they conduct the I-751 at the N-400 even if you haven't received the letter. If the officer has the whole file with them it might be possible? I'm sure they will let your spouse get in if you only have the N400 letter with you though...

    GIGANTIC SIGH OF RELIEF! Oh.my.Gosh Yay...
    19 days after the Combo interview, status for both I-751 and N-400 have FINALLY been updated, now in line for the Oath ceremony. The finish line is getting super close, I'm so stoked :-)
    3 years and 8 months since our I-130 was sent, man that feels good!
     
    Sending good vibes to everyone that is still waiting, your turn will come soon!

    They do Oath 5 times a day, no fix timing but every 2-3 hours. Around 180-200 people take oath daily.  They have big hall to accommodate 50 people with social distance. The last oath is between 4-5PM.

    Just had my interview this morning. It went great! Interviewer asked for updated evidence, both of our IDs and passports. We are also in the process of moving so she noted down our new address for the green card but also said to file the ar-11 change of address form. Interview was from 10.05 to about 10.30. As soon as I got back home I saw a case status update that said my new card is being produced.

    Hey guys! I had my Oath Ceremony at the Long Island, NY Field Office on July 23. The entire ceremony lasted 15 minutes. It was very meaningful for me, and I am glad that this is DONE! I filed for my passport the next day, so I hope this is the last waiting game. 
    I want to thank every one of you for your encouragement and words of wisdom through these past five years. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without Visa Journey’s fabulous people.

    I filed I-751 back in Jan 2020. Status changed to ready to schedule interview in Oct 2020. Filed N400 in Mar 2021 and received interview letter for that Jul 2021. I hd been wondering if it was gonna be a combo interview since there was no update for i751. I got the interview letter yesterday for i 751 for the same time and date as N400 interview. Case tracker status still has not updated for i751. I did send Uscis a message though via the online account portal but i don’t think it helped as the letter is dated from before. I do think that filing N400 expedited the process though.

    My N400 Interview experience.

     
    I had my interview today and officer was very kind and polite, cracked some jokes here and there  . 
    he started straight up with Civics test asked 6 questions and had one sentence to read and write in English. verified all my info and he didn't tell I passed but just told be you are 90% naturalized and will be fully naturalized after we take a Oath in a minute. I couldn't believe it. I wanted to do a happy dance and went in and came out as US Citizen in 15 mins.


    Good Luck to you ALL!!

    Hi all! Just a quick note to let you know that tomorrow I’ll be attending the Oath Ceremony at the Long Island Office in NY. The ceremony was supposed to occur on June 18th, but it was cancelled last minute because of the Juneteenth holiday. 
    I am beyond excited about becoming a U.S. Citizen. Good luck to all of you!
