All the best! I'm hoping you get approval on the spot!

I had my N-400 interview this morning. Thankfully, the office was open today and I didn't have to deal with rescheduling due to the office being closed the last two days because of the snow storm. The interview was pretty straight forward and I passed the civics test but the outcome was "decision could not be made". The IO explained that my A-file is in transit and that needs to be reviewed as well. I asked if it was due to my I-751 but also reiterated that my I-751 was approved. The IO said they have to do some "due diligence". N-400 status still shows Interview Was Scheduled. 
 
The interview itself and questions were straightforward, nothing out of the ordinary. The IO was personable and made me feel very comfortable. I brought some additional evidence along like W2s for 2022, more recent statements for the evidence I had already submitted and any originals (as applicable) but the IO did not ask for anything specific. The IO did not allow my spouse to accompany me to the interview. The IO asked personals questions about my application (address, # of times both of us were married, # of kids, plans to have kids, international trips, club membership) that she updated and then the standard questions that go with each application (are you willing to take the oath of allegiance, etc.).
 
Documentation provided to the IO (all of it was returned back to me):
Expired Green Card I-751 Approval (since I don't have the new green card yet)  Driver's license  List of international trips I've taken since N-400 filing  Civics questions:
Rights of US citizens Who wrote the Federalist Papers? How many amendments does the constitution have? We elect a president for how many years? One of the longest rivers in the US  Why does the flag have 50 stars?  Reading: Who lives in the White House?
Writing: The president lives in the White House. 

Thanks for posting your experience. I'm with you... facial recognition it is! If I'm able to board Delta international flights with just my face, I'm pretty sure USCIS's facial recognition capabilities are far more advanced.
 
Were you able to take guests?
 
And a short update on my end... last night I got the "Card being Produced" email for my I-751. So I guess no combo interview next Friday. 

Hello MN people. I have an update on the oath ceremony.
 
There were 1000 plus people being naturalized today in St Paul. They made us wait almost 1.5 hours before the actual ceremony took place but no complaints really, just glad to be done.
 
Parking is usually $10 in the Kellog ramp but today was $15 because of course it was.
 
Also an interesting story. They had us sit in random aisles and rows, in other words in random spots. Though at the end, distributed our certificates without any issues so I am pretty certain they used facial recognition to figure out who was sitting where. I had a mask on the whole time yet they still figured out where I was. Black magic! Gotta be facial recognition, right? The invitation letter indicated no aisle, row information. Wild.
 
Anyway, glad that this journey is over. I am applying for passport tomorrow and updating SSN card maybe in the next few weeks.
 
Good luck to you if you're waiting. Your turn will come soon!

Interview was scheduled!!!  His N-400 interview will be on March 23 at 10:30 AM!!!

Just finished my interview. Brought my husband w/ me. The officer said she didn't have my A-file, but she did a combo interview and asked for joint pictures, etc... which I had with me. She asked us how we met, where we live, etc...
 
Then she did my N400 interview. Passed the civics and reading/writing questions. Went through the yes/no section and had to addend the part where I said I wasn't cited to add two traffic citations. She was very thorough, the interview took over an hour.
 
At the end, got the paper with the "you passed but a decision cannot be made" and she said she has to wait for my A-file. So now more waiting. 

I just got my notice too! Interview on March 10. Doesn't say anything about I751 but I'll take my husband along, really hoping they get adjudicated together!
 
Time to update my binder and get ready!

Finally ended my journey. Took my oath on 01/20 and applied for my first passport today. Still feels so surreal. Congrats to all those who have also finished the journey and good luck to those still waiting!

Ok, home now! My spouse had her interview around noon today (appointment was at 11, but they were running behind), was approved and had her oath immediately after! 
We didn’t know what to expect, but outside of the jitters right beforehand, we were the most relaxed we have ever been for this final step. I was able to go into the field office, but was was in the waiting room while she had her interview. 
They asked her her name, birthdate, plus my name and birthdate, how many marriages we have had and if we had any children. They also asked what organizations she had been in in Argentina, if she any weapons training (weird?), if she had any international travel after applying for the N-400, and if she had ever been arrested. The officer then asked if she supported the Constitution and if she was willing to bear arms for USA.
She then had to show that she could read and write in English (was just a few simple sentences), then she got her test questions: 
Who is the president?  Name our state capital. What is the Rule of Law? Name 2 Cabinet level positions. Who is in charge of the executive branch? What is one right of US citizens? The actual interview was about 15-20 minutes and we were thrilled to know that we didn’t have to go back to Yakima for the oath ceremony. We live a few hours away and winter weather can be quite treacherous, so this was wonderful news. 😀
Good luck to everybody still waiting!
 
ETA: sorry for the font size change in my post! I had written down her questions elsewhere earlier today while they were still fresh in her mind and I can’t see how to make my text the same size. It’s distracting as heck to me. 
 

After the combo interview 2 weeks ago, my I-751 was officially approved in the system today.

Best wishes!! The other bro filed about a month before you and got his interview date so hopefully you get yours soon too! MSP is making progress on cutting the wait time it seems.

Congratulations to both of you!
 
My pd is at the end of September 2022 so hoping for an update soon!

The case status changed today to Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed. I checked my account and a pdf had been uploaded with oath ceremony date of 02/16 at St Paul River Center in downtown St Paul.

I don't know what to call this... coincidence? Fate? I just checked and my interview is scheduled for February 24th! The estimated completion time did change to 10 months though. 
 
No update on my I-751 but hoping both get adjudicated at the same time! Time to start the preparation. 

Hi everyone, I had my interview this morning in Minneapolis. Not a combo interview as my RoC was resolved in 2022 but brought my wife anyway. Arrived there about 30 min before the scheduled time. Took just a couple of min to get through the security, few more min to check in at the front desk and waited in the lobby for maybe 15 min. My ticket number was called exactly on my scheduled time. The officer was serious but friendly, I guess, as I found out after the interview he loves my home country for its beautiful landscape, etc. Anyway, he swore me in and asked 6 questions:
- One of 4 amendments on voting (18 or older, no $ to vote, women can vote, all race can vote)
- President during WW2
- No. of supreme court justices
- No. of senators
- How many years we elect president for
- One of the 2 longest rivers
 
He asked me to say out loud 'Who can vote?' and write 'Citizens can vote.' on the tablet.
 
Then some yes/no questions from the application followed by where do I live, with whom, where I got married, where I work. Then one final round of yes/no questions from the application. That was it!
 
I asked him if I passed and he said the software will tell us after confirming some personal information (address, name change, etc). The paper printed saying I passed and have been recommended for citizenship. I then asked about oath ceremonies and he said to wait for a letter in the mail and not to have travel plans for the next couple of weeks.
 
I came home to check the status update and found two updates:
 
Status Date Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled January 20, 2023 We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review. January 20, 2023  
 
I guess barring something crazy, I will take my oath soon and this long journey will be over.
 
Those who are still waiting, good luck!! Shouldn't be too long for you.

Just pitching in from my end. Had my N-400 interview today (and got approved!). Here's my timeline:
 

Filed based on 3 years of marriage to my wife who is a US citizen herself.

Finally some good news!
 
No email or text from USCIS but checked the case status just a few minutes ago and it says:
 
On December 9, 2022, we scheduled an interview for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, Receipt Number IOE1234567890. We will mail you an interview notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.
 
I then logged into the USCIS website and it's for Jan 20.
 
So excited for this!! Those who haven't heard back yet, I hope you hear soon!! I applied in April 2022 so took exactly 8 months minus a week.

My wife just received interview notification online for her N-400.  Interview date is 1/31/2023.  
 

University students matriculating in another state do not need to get a new license. Full-time students are considered domiciled in their home state/home address. This is common knowledge. Your good to go.

When travelling internationally or near the border I do carry the original letter + gc, but otherwise I only carry a photocopy of the letter.
 
I usually just use my driver's license within the country, the only time I've needed to show my GC + letter in the US was to renew my license.
 

One of the questions on the N-400 asks if you've ever been cited by law enforcement. There's a space to provide information about your case. 
 
I would definitely keep all evidence showing that you have paid your fine and take it with you to the interview!

No it's not ok not to mention it. Say yes to the question 23 "Have you ever been arrested, cited..."
 
And provide details and evidence of paying the fine.

Got my interview date on Saturday! Just over one month since applying. The end is in sight!

Canada & Mexico. There might be other countries in the Americas, but those two I'm 100% certain about.
 
Doesn't help with anywhere in Europe.
