An update: as of 9/26, I am approved and now waiting for my oath ceremony to be scheduled! Portland, OR has been doing mass oath ceremonies every couple months and the most recent one was last week. Probably another month or two for the ceremony but I can live with that! For those still waiting, your time will come!I know waiting is the worst part but hang in there!

Hard to tell, from reading everyone’s experiences on this forum (and everyone has great insight!), I would go in expecting a combo interview just in case. Also, the appointment letter may also indicate a combo interview in some cases.

Hi All! Longtime follower, first time poster. I filed in February 2022 and had my interview today in Portland, OR. My attorney was with me during the interview and the officer was very courteous and professional. Passed the civics, reading, and writing tests with flying colors and no out-of-the-box questions during review of the N-400 application questions. At the end, the officer advised he could not provided a decision at this time, but will recommend approval. When my attorney questioned the non-decision, the officer advised that my I-751 file was not with my N-400 file and had to request the completed file from Nebraska (LIN SC). The officer went on the explain that since my I-751 was recently approved (June 2022), there was no issues with approval, but had to wait for the completed I-751 case file to be sent from Nebraska to Portland for final approval. Other than the odd hiccup, the experience went well overall! Now it's just a waiting game for the official approval and oath ceremony letter.
