  1. Thanks! Both cases were approved 12 days after the I-751 was transferred from Potomac station to the NBC on November 15, 2023. Oath ceremony was scheduled 29 days after case approvals. Your case may take less time, though. Congratulations on your impending oath ceremony! 😊
  2. Wow! Thanks for clarifying. Congratulation!
  3. I agree. The N-400 interview accomplishes this, but USCIS will also verify nothing has changed a final time, prior to taking the oath at the ceremony.
  4. ...Again, as you know, it depends upon the IO and field office. We would have also declined if given the option. 😁
  5. That's a good question, but I don't know the answer. You can research past N-400 applicants experiences with the Washington, D.C. Fairfax, VA office. Perhaps these denials to attend N-400 interview, absent of ROC interview with their spouse/applicant occurred during Covid-19 and security officers where instructed not to admit people not included on the N-400 appointment letter. One thing's for certain, Immigration Officers and Field Offices are inconsistent as to how they conduct N-400 interviews or who may or may not attend the interview. Isn't the purpose of the N-400 interview (3-Year Rule) to determine if the N-400 applicant is ready to be a U.S. Citizen by passing the exams and interview? Most likely, you were asked to leave your wife's N-400 interview for 10 minutes, so that the IO can test your wife's readiness to become a U.S. Citizen on her own merit. It's great that you at least had a chance to meet the IO at your wife's interview.
  6. My wife's ROC was also pending, but the instructions on her N-400 interview did not say to bring me (husband). The Washington, D.C. Field Office in Fairfax, Virginia has a history of turning away spouses that accompany their spouse to the N-400 interview, when not instructed to do so. I waited in the car, just in case the IO wanted to speak with me. Although ROC was pending, we did not have a combo interview and the ROC interview was waived. After notifying my wife that she passed the exams, the IO initiated a transfer of the ROC from the Potomac Office in Virginia, so that she could approve both the ROC and N-400. It really depends on your Field Office, IO, pending ROC, and strength of your evidence for marriage based - 3 year rule, whether or not your case will be a combo interview. However, as stated by others, the spouse of the N-400 applicant should be available to attend the interview. Congratulations!!!
