I had my oath ceremony yesterday in Dallas (Plano)! Applying for the passport today hopefully. I have a quick tip for those who wanna apply for passport. Since getting a passport appointment have become more difficult these days (at least in Dallas this is the case), I would suggest to take an appointment as soon as you know your oath ceremony date, otherwise if you wait, there will be more delays due to not finding an appointment time at least for a week.
 
Also many appointments are only released after 12am for the coming week and gets filled by early morning next day, so be on the lookout! 
 
Best of luck to everyone 😊

I don't have a definite answer for that but if I were you, I would carry any and all documents that show that I have changed my name, my marriage certificate as well as any state ID or anything that shows you are the same person. The best evidence would definitely be any name change confirmation/ certificate you can produce, but to be on the safe side, get a free consultation from an attorney or call USCIS if they could suggest anything. 

My interview was scheduled  yesterday (feb 22, 2023) for March 29, 2023. Filed N400 on around Dec 20, 2022 and immediately received a biometric reuse notice. Nothing after that until yesterday. I-751 is still pending (filed Nov 1, 2021). After I filed N400 online, my I-751 case was transferred. That's the only update I received on my I751other than the initial 24 month extension letter

Got mine as well today in mail

Congratulations on getting your interview scheduled! 🥳

I have travelled multiple times in multiple countries while my Green Card is expired. I am a Nov 2021 I751 filer. I just carry my expired green card along with the extension letter. The extension letter makes my green card valid till the end of Nov 2023, so I have no issues traveling during this period. I have travelled a lot in 2022 and didn’t face any issues to enter the US. 
 
Just make sure your extension letter extends the validity of your green card at least until the time you will be getting back and carry both the extension letter and green card together.

It got delivered today!!!! I have my EAD combo card in my hand I can't believe it.
 
My wife says "Marry someone who looks at you the way you look at your EAD card" lol!

Just so others know, there will be multiple status changes on your case after the interview. The following are the updates I received so far:

Nov 19 (Interview day): Card is being produced
Nov 20: Case is Approved (For I-130 and I-485)
Nov 22: Card was mailed to me

I still anticipate there will be another update mentioning Card was picked up by USPS and the tracking details before I actually receive the card. It's so interesting to see status updates almost everyday now after spending a period when there was nothing for months. Refreshing!

Had my interview today morning. It was like 20mins maybe. Asked me only the standard I-485 questions. Asked my wife (USC) regarding my address (we live in different states), my job (I am working on H1B), my Birthday etc. Asked both of us our marriage date. Asked when will we start living together. That was it. The officer knew about our case very well and saw our pictures carefully it seemed which we sent with the original package. Told us he has seen enough pictures and don't want to add anymore. Finally Told he will let us know within a week. However, to our surprise, we saw "Card in Production " status update when we got into our car to return from the interview 😍😁
 
My EAD also got approved today and card is in production. Both the green card and the EAD went to production the same day. What a day it has been!!! So happy and excited. Thank you all for helping by sharing your knowledge and stories. It helped me a lot. Hope all of us get done with this process soon!!! 😁
