Hi everyone,

I have been looking at this thread for months and benefited from it. Thanks.

Now I am posting my case timeline as a giveback.

I-751 submitted to VSC 1/30/2018

N-400 submitted 1/23/2019 and Local Office is Mount Laurel, NJ

N-400 interview 6/13/2019 with I-751 pending

Since the IO did not have my I-751 file, my N-400 was not approved on spot.  However, she still did a combo interview. I really appreciated it.

6/19/2019: wrote a letter to her one week later.

6/24/2019: an update that my I-751 was transferred to my local office to schedule an interview (why?)

6/26/2019: an update that my I-751 was transferred to another office with jurisdiction.

7/1/2019: received a letter of I-797C stating that my case was transferred to NBC to schedule an interview (Still why?)

7/9/2019: wrote 2nd letter to IO.

7/14/2019: Put an inquiry for N-400 online.

7/30/2019: Called USCIS to inquire my I-751 status. Though my I-751 was still in processing time, the representative (1st tier) was very nice to help me put an inquiry. He told me that my I-751 case was in VSC (not NBC) and my local office sent the result of my I-751 interview back to VSC after they received my I-751 case from VSC. (If you are extremely polite, they will help you.)

I think that my local office sent an approval suggestion with the result of my interview to VSC and waited for their authorization to adjudicate both of my 2 cases.  

8/9/2019: I-751 “New card is being produced” and “Case Was Approved”

                   N-400 “Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled”

I know wait is really frustrating, but this is just a matter of time.

Good luck, everyone!

The N400 was recommended for approval, but final approval was indeed held until after the I751 was approved.  My wife received notice of Oath Ready to be Scheduled about a week or so after the I751 was approved.

Thank you very much.

We got the same notice in mid-April right after An I751 interview that occurred right before my wife’s N400 interview.  We received the I751 approval exactly a month later.

 

Good Luck!

Hi Bill & Katya,

I think I am in your shoes before. I had a combo interview with a pending I-751 2 weeks ago. Today I got an update saying "Case(I-751) Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction" I wanna know if your N-400 was approved on the spot, your I-751 was approved a month later though? Normally, they approve I-751 before N-400. 

Thanks

I see,

But I don't need another interview or anything, just sending the papers. 

Just need to send the evidence and wait.

But I did already N-400 exams. so I'm confused now.

Yes, you did a combo interview. Even you passed the N-400 interview and tests, you can't get your N-400 approved till your I-751 is approved.

both

N-400 and I-751

They have to approve you I-751 first. It's normal to be requested for more evidence about I-751. So don't worry. Once you submit all evidence they need, your I-751 and N-400 will be approved together soon. 

Did you pass the tests?

Thanks,

I just finished my interview. 

the IO was focusing to much about my lease agreement and how I have a lease from the owner not the company., and keep saying this illegal for someone to rent his house without permit from the bank . and he was asking for W2 even I have tax return forms already. At the end he said will email me a RFE to proof how I rent my place and send W2. Its't weird???

Is that I-751 interview?

Thank you soo much, one more question, Did you spouse attend the interview with you?

We went to the office together, but he did not attend the interview.

I hope your case get resolved soon. May I ask about which questions they ask you during the interview. Thanks. 

Thank you mz_066. 

I got an update for my I-751 today. My local office has received my I-751 case. I will give them a week to process my case both I-751 and N-400.

Questions for I-751 are like I-485 interview but much less tense. My IO asked such questions as my spouse's name, where and when we met, his siblings' names, what he does, what company he works for, where we live, his birthday, why we dont have kids... very basic questions.

No special questions for N-400. We just went though all yes and no questions and tests.

Hope this is helpful.

Hi guys, 

I had N-400 interview on 6/13/2019 in NJ. The interview and tests went well but I was not approved on spot because my I-751 is still pending. 

At the beginning, the IO (a very kind lady) told me she could do a combo interview but she couldn't find my I-751 folder, which never happened to her before.  However she still conducted the I-751 interview. I really appreciated it.  she printed out a questionnaire and wrote down all the answers I gave to her. After that, we went to the N-400 interview.  She said she would have approved both but she did not have my I-751 information at hand.  She told me to relax and she would find out what's going on for my I-751. She asked me to wait up to 2 weeks. 

I filed I-751 1/29/2018 and N-400 1/23/2019 to Vermont. "fingerprint review was completed" for my I-751 has not changed since April 4, 2018.

Hope she can find my I-751 info and give me approvals asap. Fingers crossed.

This week, I got a regular email from USCIS saying that "We last took action on your case on May 21, 2019. After I logged on to my USCIS account, I did not see any updates on May 21 on both my I-751 and N-400 accounts.  The last action they took is that they schedule an interview for my N-400 on May 8th. I don't know what action they took on May 21. They may have send my I-751 file to the local office for a combo interview. But my IO did not receive my I-751 documents. What happened? Any one have the same experience? It's really frustrating!
