Hi everyone, 

I just had my combo interview yesterday on March 27, 2018 at Salt Lake City, Utah. The entire process is very smooth. Here are some details about my interview experience:

-We arrived at the field office around 12:10 pm, and there were not a lot of people there, we waited for about 15 mins then the office called us. The officer was very nice and knew that we are a military family as he was prior military personnel as well. First, he had us raised our right hands and swore that we will tell the truth. After that, he just looked through my I-751 file and asked me if we have more evidence since 2016, I gave him bank statements, utility bills, insurance card, etc, and the officer just punched it and added those into the file. At the same time we were just casually chatting and he was just doing his own thing on the application and didn't ask any question and seconds later, he said " This one is approved, and now I will have to excuse you to lobby while I conduct N-400 interview with you husband". So, that was it for I-751, very quick and smooth, no issue at all.

-For my N-400, he didn't really ask any more stuff and we were just chatting while he putting in information in his computer and moments later, he gave me to papers and asked me to read "Who can vote?" and asked  me to write "Citizens can vote" and I passed all of them, after that we started the civic test, I only remembered 4 out of 6 questions cause I just can't not remember all of them lol. But here are the questions were asked: 

1. Who were brought to the US and sold as slaves?

2. What the name of the Vice President?

3. Who did the colonists fight the British? 

4. What is the highest court in the US? 

After that, the officer informed me that I am all done and approved. Then the officer informed me that the next oath ceremony is on April 11, but I told him that my husband is deploying to Korea during that time and we are moving to our new station in the summer right after his return, and I will need him to be at the ceremony for the special moment. The officer is kind and nice to ask his supervisor to see if we could take oath right there and then. We waited for about 20 mins or so then we were called into the conference room and I was swore in by the center director. 

I am so happy to announce that I am a proud citizen! 

Hi everyone, 

I am currently have my I-751 and N-400 pending, I received my interview notice on 2/26/2018 for and interview on 3/27/2018 here in Salt Lake City. I somehow received my I-751 interview notice yesterday directly from the field office for the same time appointment with my N-400 which is normal for a combo interview. But on the I-751 interview notice, they asked me to bring an interpreter that is not a family member who speak both my native language and English which I think that's odd since I speak English lol. My spouse is in the Air Force, so I have no way to find a person that speaks my native language, also I don't even need an interpreter, that is just too funny when I saw that. Anyway, I am looking forward to have this long journey done!

Hi Brunogava,

I am wondering if you can share your interview experience, did the IO interview your I-751 with your spouse and N-400 afterwards?  Thank you!

Finally! I am so exciting to see this when I checked on USCIS! Now waiting for my actual letter to come in!

Me, I filled my N400 past September and had my interview today. Just waiting for the oath ceremony 

Congrats! I filed last July while my I-751 is pending, still inline for interview. I went in to the office this Monday and spoke with an supervisor, apparently my application is stuck in the system because the background check freaked out. Don't know how that even happened. I am moving soon with my spouse because we are in the military, hopefully I will get this done soon. 

Canrebat, I am actually in the same boat as you, we are in the Air Force here in Utah and we are doing to move in the summer. Since you are the spouse of the military member, there is a helpline only for military member. 877-CIS-4MIL (877-247-4645). I actually called regarding my application before, if you receive order to go oversea, they will actually send a request to your field office to see if they can expedite your application or not, if yes then great, if not then they will pull your file back to the National Benefit Center. If you are moving to other state, I believe they can still send out a request to see if the expedite process is possible, otherwise they will request your file to be sent to your future field office after your move. I will definitely call and find out!!

Hi, 

I am just wondering if there is anybody on this forum that is currently dealing with Salt Lake City Field Office who filed N-400 in 2017? 

Hi, 

I have been following the forum for a while now I decided to add myself to the list. Can someone please add me onto the time line? 

Filed N-400 with I-751 pending on July 28, 2017

Fingerprint done on August 18, 2017

Inline for interview on September 20, 2017

and the waiting continues until this point.......

My application is a bit special, I am the spouse of an active military member so I sent my N-400 application to the Chicago Lockbock based on the guideline, and my field office is Salt Lake City, UT. I have talked to several immigration officers regarding both of my cases that are pending, all I can so far is that both of my cases are physically in the Salt Lake City Field Office and waiting for it to be scheduled for an interview. Because my partner is the military member so I have an access to contact the military helpline for my N-400 process, that's where I got all my information from basically to confirm that both of my files are in the field office, but apparently it is still pending for background checks. Salt lake city is one of the slowest offices so I am just waiting at this point.

Thank you!!
