AM 7

Had a combo interview yesterday. Both went smooth, great IO. Was contacted by field office to bring my spouse. My spouse went with me but the security never let her in and said if IO wants her they’ll call her. As soon as IO approached me, he asked about my spouse and I told him what security did and said. IO thought for few secs and said, “hmm okay if we need her then we’ll call her”. He went on to approve my I-751 without needing my spouse which worked out perfectly fine because my spouse wasn’t feeling well anyways. It was so weird and emotional to see my file in front of me going all the way back to all different applications we had filed over the years. All right there in one folder. All in all, great experience! All approved and now waiting to be scheduled for oath ceremony. i-751 —> July 2021, Potomac n400 —> July 2022. for everyone trying to figure out USCIS pattern, please don’t and save your brain cells. Processing is not really done in sequence and it’s sporadic. If you file N400 then sooner or later, by the time the field office reaches to process your N400, they will have to seek for your I-751 and pull that out so do as you will but just wait around with patience as your opportunity will come and don’t compare yourself to others situation, I say this from experience. All the best to everyone on their journey!!!

Oath ceremony? I’m talking about N400 and I-751 combo interview. Neither applications have been approved yet. did you take any documents to prove bona-fide marriage for I-751 interview piece even though yours was combo?

My I-751 is pending and the case was transferred to NBC. I have N400 interview sometime soon but I have not received any communication from USCIS that my wife needs to come for a combo interview. My wife will not be in the country because of school summer trip as she’s leading it. Anyhow, do I call USCIS to reschedule already or wait until they call and ask my wife to join me and then reschedule or should I just go for my N400 interview and take it from there? Any suggestions would be helpful, thanks!

2 days before the interview? Golly! but ya my wife cannot absolutely attend the interview. I spoke with the senator office and they spoke to the local field office and they were told that it will be a combo interview so it’s better to reschedule in that case. But I haven’t received any formal notification that it’s gonna be a combo or gotten a notice that the interview is gonna be rescheduled so I’m kinda in a pickle as to what to do. I haven’t officially submitted request via phone to reschedule my interview cuz the senator office said their email to them with a reason will be enough. What should I do? Should I submit request via phone as well? Or just wait for the senator office to receive notification from the local office?

Yes

I applied N400 last year in July and yet my I-751 was never transferred to date. I wouldn’t be disheartened since it’s not the same journey for everyone.

Hi all - I just saw online that my N400 interview is scheduled for next month. Unfortunately my USC spouse is not in the country on the day of my interview. She is a high school teacher who is leading a language department's summer trip and traveling abroad with a group of students for a week. By no means, she can either cancel her plan or reschedule it because there are 49 people in the whole group including other chaperons. I have no idea if my interview is going to end up being a combo interview with my pending I-751 or just N400. Should I be concerned that my USC spouse won't be there with me for N400 interview? What can I do to convince IO that my wife and are still married despite her not being there? I plan to take our marriage certificate, this years taxes, any bank, mortgage, etc statements. Any insight or piece of wisdom will be helpful, thank you!

anyone seeing this status for their N400? Any idea how long will it take after this status?

I have the same exact dates as you and just got my 48 month extension letter last Saturday. I feel like our case # might be quite closer to each other.

Ya, it’s already been over 3months since other people got approved around me. Now, I’m thinking that USCIS approves cases randomly instead of in order. what’s the point of prioritizing and possibly approving N400 when the applicant’s I751 is still pending?

Does getting 48month extension letter mean it’s gonna take longer for Potomac to process the case? A lot of people around my case # have already been approved. What is causing Potomac to be so slow?

Does one need to update address on DL if place of residence has changed since filing for I751 but N400 has the new address? I have made USCIS aware of address change already so I’m just wondering if DL needs to match the current place of residence. I didn’t change cities or even a county. Same county and city but just a different address. Please lmk, thanks!

Hello all - I just noticed that the YSC# before and after my number were approved back in December 2022. But mine and several others close to my receipt number haven’t been approved yet. Just wondering if the receipt #s are processed randomly or in an order. Doesn’t seem orderly to me but just wondering. according to VJ, I should be expecting a result anytime now so let’s see. How’s everyone wait been?

Hi guys -- I've just started filling out my N400 today and I have a question about moving in the past 3 months question in eligibility criteria and mailing address. My wife and I bought a house last month but we haven't officially moved into the house yet because we are working on house projects to get it ready. So we are still living in the apartment that we have a lease on until the end of August 31. We haven't changed cities and even the county of both of these places is the same. Saying that, do I say "yes" to the fact that we have moved in the past 3 months and subsequently give our new home address which will be official in August or should I give the apartment address where we still are residing and change the address later?? Thoughts?
