Thank you so much for sharing your experience! This is really helpful.
Did you receive two interview letters? One for I-751 and one for N-400? My I-751 hasn't updated in more than two years... :-Syes two notices, one for I-751, one for N-400. My N-400 interview was scheduled first, then was cancelled. then after 2 weeks, they sent me the I-751 interview notice and the second N-400 notice, both on the same date

Hi all
Just want to share with you about my combo interview at the SF office early this month.
With both the I-751 and N-400 interview notices, my spouse and I attended the combo interview at the SF office. We waited for around 10-15 mins in the waiting area and were called in for the interview. A middle-aged Asian woman was the interviewer, very nice, friendly. First, she had us swear in, then had us review the G-325 forms which were submitted with my I-485 fours years ago. She said if there are any changes since then, just make corrections on the form and sign. Then, she asked me and my spouse some questions re our life, family, how we met, travel history, etc. After around 5 mins, she had my spouse leave the room and wait outside, then she started the N-400 interview. She started the civics test first, then writing and speaking test. The six questions she asked are all very simple questions, including what is rule of law, name of ocean on the west coast, name of anthem, and I forgot the other three. There are 10 questions on the list, as long as you got the first six right, she would stop asking. After that, she started going over the N-400 form's questions one by one with me. She would make notes on the forms, this process took around 15 mins, coz it is a long form. Then she asked if I brought any updated docs. Then I handed her the 2016 and 2017 tax returns, more updated mortgage statements, car registration, health coverage statement, W-2s, bank statement, etc. all showing joint ownership. and photos. She kept some of the docs in my file. Then at last, she handed me a letter Form N-652 showing that I passed the civics and English test, and that a written decision will be mailed to me. The interview said she has not had time review my updated docs yet, and if everything is ok, I will receive decision and oath ceremony letter in 60 days. Then she led me out. Then that's it for the interview.
Then two days after the interview, it shows I-751 was approved, then later N-400 status shows in line for oath ceremony.
Good luck to you all

Sharing AILA's practice pointer for clients who file N-400 while I-751 is pending. This should address some questions most of you might have with regards to filing N-400 while I-751 is still pending.

did you submit a lot of evidence with your initial package? did you get an RFE before the interview notice?
Lots of evidence, no RFE

Hi all
So the SF office just rescheduled my interview to July and this time the interview notice is pretty clear. It shows it’s a I-751 interview and reminds to bring spouse and some updated docs e.g. tax returns, etc. and it also says your N-400 interview might be interviewed separately on the same day. So it’s pretty clear right now. Guess the SF office starts having a more unified protocol as to I-751 and N-400 joint interview, which should be a good news. The SF filers whose interview was just canceled should also receive another letter pretty soon.

Did anyone heard about USCIS agents visits house to house? I read it on fb, it says they came around 5:30 am. I think they are just checking if the marriage is legit.
USCIS won't do that unless they really suspect your marriage is a fixed marriage. If it is real, nothing to worry about.

Thank you so much for sharing the information. I am also SF filer for N400 with I-751 pending. I already got the interview letter for N400 for next month so We’ll see if I’ll get the same letter that you got! This is weird though, I thought they would approve I-751 on the same day with N400 interview. Why would they cancel and reschedule again!
not sure, the local offices always have different policies. I will just wait and see what will happen.

I had my N-400 interview last April 30th, and my I-751 was still pending too. I had no problems at all, and I did the interview for my naturalization. They approved it and left my i-751 pending. The approval for this case came through one week later without doing further interviews. Certainly, I have to wait for my i-751 to be completed to get my oath ceremony letter, but they did not backed me off for not having the I-751 previously resolved. It is weird, they must have changed their procedures recently
Thanks for sharing your experience. The local office always have their own policy and can change it when they want to. did you get your oath done yet?

Hi All,
Last night I received a letter from the SF local office telling me that they have to cancel my interview due to unforeseen circumstances. Then I called USCIS this morning and the operator told me that the system shows the officer is still reviewing my case and not ready for interview yet. Another applicant also shared her interview experience in another website. She is also a N-400 and I-751 combo filer and local office in SF. According to her, when she went to her N-400 interview, the officer just noticed her I-751 is still pending and denied her N-400 interview and told her that her I-751 needs to be approved first before taking the N-400 interview. Then in two weeks, she received an I-751 interview notice. She and her husband went to the interview and the officer also did the N-400 interview during the I-751 interview and she got the approval recommendation for her N-400. So right now, I just need to wait again for another interview notice, which I guess might be an I-751 interview notice. Anyway, just want to share will all the SF filers and will keep you posted if there is any update. If you also receive a letter descheduling your interview, don't panic, you are not the only one.

Hi there
I am also an August 2017 filer for N-400. My I-751 was filed in July 2016 and was still pending when I filed my N-400. I received the N-400 interview letter two weeks ago which scheduled my N-400 interview in June, and I was expecting it might be an N-400 and I-751 combo interview. But last night I received a letter from the SF local office telling me that they have to cancel my interview due to unforeseen circumstances. Then I called USCIS this morning and the operator told me that the system shows the officer is still reviewing my case and not ready for interview yet.

Definitely, take you spouse with you. Mine came with me but he was not interviewed. As a matter of fact, I was all dressed up to go to my work after the interview and the IO thought I was the lawyer and my husband the applicant. Ever since everything went so smooth. Overall it was very easy and relaxed.
Good luck in your interview
I see. Thanks for sharing your experience that’s really good to know. Hope u will receive the approval soon.

Hi Kincowhe....I am also SF filer for N400 and filed in August 2017 as well with I-751 pending From August 2016. May I ask if you filed online or paper? and when were you in line for interview? because I was in line since October 6 2017 and I didn’t get the interview notice yet. Thank you!
Hi
I paper filed my I-751 and N-400. I was in line for interview since September last year. So I think your interview probably will get scheduled pretty soon.
Thank you

Thanks for your advice. really appreciate it.

My I-751 case was approved as of May 10, and I received the hard copy yesterday.
Apparently, they are going to send me a new 10 year green card. I already did the N-400 interview and I am waiting for my oath ceremony date.
Honestly, I do not understand. I thought I was never going to have a new green card since I am almost done with the citizenship process....
Hi altito
Congrats, one question, did your spouse go with you for the N-400 interview? Coz I am in the similar situation, my I-751 was filed in July 2016, my N-400 was filed in August 2017 while my I-751 is still pending. And I just received an N-400 interview notice for next month June. I am thinking if my spouse also needs to go. Oh my local office is also SF Field Office, so I would like to hear what your experience is.
Thanks a lot.
