Got an appt at the passport agency yesterday and passport was printed in 2 hrs!!! When I picked it up they returned the naturalization certificate with passport. Journey is finally over!

Just sharing my experience here. My I-751 was pending when they scheduled my interview. The first thing I mentioned to the IO when I walked into the room was that my spouse is with me waiting in the car outside if you want to interview him. IO said they don't have my I-751 and decided to do a combo interview anyways. Bring updated bonafide marriage evidence with you. I kept my I-751 slim. Maximum of 7 pages mortgage, deed, airplane tickets, car insurance and photos. I-751 and N400 was approved on the spot. Couple weeks after interview the I-751 got knocked lose and status changed "transferred to new office". Couple days after that I get a call from an officer saying congratulations my oath ceremony is now scheduled. Stay hopeful and your time will come.

Thank you

Do they keep your naturalization certificate when applying for a passport?

Just received a phone call from a very friendly USCIS officer saying my oath ceremony was scheduled for this Friday and they don't have time to mail the letter. But it's uploaded on my online account. That was very nice of them.

Had my N400 interview today. Even though my I-751 wasn't there the officer approved my case and said Oath Ceremony will be sent next week. Woohoo!

He was born in the U.S. no birth certificate only passport. How does one get a copy of birth certificate?

Maybe a stupid question but in the interview letter it says to bring my spouses certificate of citizenship. Is that same thing as the U.S. Passport?

My I-751 still says Fingerprints Taken. Planning on my file not to be there so a little more wait after the interview I guess.

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

@Sarge2155 How did it go today? Did you have a combo interview?

Hang in there buddy. Hope you get good news soon.

Yup I did.

I didn't know about the option to submit a request for a combo interview until I learned about it here. So I submitted it 2 months after submitting the N400 application. I guess I'm worried they may have missed the request.

I have uploaded a letter online but I also want to send a physical letter to my field office.

What do you guys think of writing your field office a letter requesting to have a combo interview? Too much?

I added a letter requesting a combo interview and uploaded last year's taxes not too long ago. Still got an interview date.

Thank you. That gives me a bit of hope for a combo interview.

Ok. So your I-751 never changed status from Fingerprints taken or fingerprints reused? While having your N-400 interview scheduled?

I have yet to see a case ( correct me if I'm wrong ) were they had a combo interview without their I-751 saying "Case transferred to another jurisdiction" before the interview. Anyone seen this?

Yes that's correct.

Where do you guys see these timelines?

My worries too. I have requested a combo interview. So fingers crossed.

Check your case status. That's how I found out. No notification. I logged into my account and downloaded the Interview letter.

Today I received my N400 interview. I will bring my spouse with me. My I-751 still shows fingerprints taken. Should I be worried?
