And it’s done! The interview was today and i got approved. I am from July thread, however i see people from Jacksonville in this one so i wanted to update those who are still waiting. 
It was not a same-day oath ceremony, they scheduled mine for Jan 25th. My I-751 was also processed (approved) today, however, when i check the status of both applications, only N-400 shows updates (the most recent one - oath ceremony notice was mailed). I hope that’s normal? 

Congratulations!

It seems like Jacksonville likes to interview for i751 as well, with no obvious reason.

For people that already had interview, does Jacksonville office do swearing in the same day?

Is your interview in Jacksonville? I received an interview notice for N-400 2 weeks ago and a separate interview notice for my pending 

I-751 today (just a status update for now). I am waiting to see if the notice has the same date as the N-400 interview, that would be nice. So to answer your question, they may update your I-751 status like they just did with mine, or they may not, but I would prepare for both just in case

And yes, my interview is in Jacksonville

Yeah, if you track your case online you get notified of any changes made to it, so I was shocked to receive an update on my I-751 case today, considering the last update happened 400+ days ago

I actually got an update for my i751 exactly 2 months ago today that finger print was applied again. after the notice that case was transferred to NBC in August.

When you say a status update, is it something like your fingerprint was reapplied again?

Finally got my interview for January ending but my i751 is still pending. If was suppose to be a combo interview, will it be explicitly stated in the interview notice sent to me? Hoping to get clarification from people that have been in this situation before. Thanks.

I filed in July and my office is in Jacksonville as well. Worst part about this is that i have I-751 pending since 2019, the case is ready to be scheduled for an interview since September 2021 - all In the Jacksonville office! It makes me wonder what is going on with that location? I went there to get my I-551 stamp in the passport and it was dead, maybe a couple people besides me. What do they do all day? So frustrating 

I believe something is wrong in this location, maybe extremely short of staff. Unless there is any one that got through the process quickly.

I hope we will get our interview notice soon! I can't wait to be done with this process to be honest

I pray as well, hopefully they are not trying to push us till next year.

Is there still any February filers in Jacksonville office like me still waiting for interview date? Frustrating at this point where my case status says "case taking longer than expected"

I filed i751 in July 2020. Dint hear anything after biometrics until April 18, 2022 when it was transferred to NBC. i751 was approved May 16, 2022 and I got my 10yr GC without any interview.

N400 was filed in Feb 2022. N400 interview was done on July 26, 2022. Oath ceremony scheduled for Aug 19, 2022.

I hope my case goes smoothly like this as well. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Im sure someone that has gone through the process would tell you their experience.. in most cases its a combo and the interview letter advises.

 

Someone in another thread .. or this thread i cant remember had an issue where they needed to get it sorted they had two different dates for both. Ofcourse human error and we told the person to speak to tier 2 to resolve it and also request infopass.

 

Just make sure your letter says combo.  Dont trust that the process would go through properly. 

 

All the best.

Thanks for the response, I hope they don't get it mixed up to get complicated like that.

i751 - filed 2/12/2021, Received Notice April 2021

N400 - filed 2/10/2022.

Got notice 2/5/2022 that my i751 has been transferred to National Benefit Center in MO to speed up processing.

Can someone that has gone through the same process throw more lights on whatever happened after?

Does it mean I will be scheduled for combo(i751 and N400) soon, and if so how soon? Thanks.

Oh great, from your summary notes, you did not mention if you went to the center with your spouse or not.

N400 Applied online: 02/05/2022

Receipt and Biometric waived: 02/05/2022

Interview scheduled: 07/26/2022 at Fairfax, VA (got notice on 06/16/2022)

 

Interview experience:

Scheduled time was 12:40pm.

Got there at 12pm and waited until 12:15pm. The door had a sign saying masks are optional and I chose not to wear one. 

Gave it a shot at going in early at 12:15pm (instead of 12:25pm) and trying my luck. The security guard gave me a tough time for coming early by 10 mins and not listening to some of his instructions, which I swear I did not hear him say. They still let me go through the security check and asked me to go to the second floor. 

I walked to the check in desk and gave my appointment notice. The lady checked me in and asked me to wait. There were around 7 people waiting there before me. 3 officers came out and called for three of them. I was expecting others to be called before me but to my surprise a officer came and called out my last name at around 12:35pm. 

The officer greeted me and asked me how my day has been and how I got to the interviewing location. The officer walked me to their room and asked me to keep my documents on the table. The officer then asked me to raise my right hand and take the oath. At the end, I said “Yes, I do”.

The officer then asked me to sit down and hand over my interview notice, Green Card and passport. The officer said we’ll first go through the civics, reading and writing test and grabbed my documents. 

 

Civics test:

1. Name one American Indian tribe in the US - Cherokee
2. What is one power of the federal govt- to print money
3. What is the highest court in US- the Supreme Court
4. Who is our current president- Joe Biden
5. There are four amendments in the constitution about who can vote. Describe one amendment- Citizens 18 and older can vote
6. What do we call the first ten amendments to the constitution? - the Bill of Rights

The officer stopped after question 6 as I got all answers right. 

 

Reading test:

The officer pointed me to a tablet screen that showed “How many Senators do we have?” and asked me to read it aloud.

 

Writing test:

The officer then asked me to write on the tablet screen with a touch pen “We have 100 senators”. He repeated this sentence twice and asked me to write hundred numerically.

 

The officer then moved on to my N400 application and verified my name, DOB, current nationality, address, job details etc… The officer asked me if I have ever been arrested. I answered No. 

The officer then showed a summary of my information on the tablet screen and asked me to sign a couple times. The officer had a big file on the desk with all my previous applications and supporting documents. It was surprising to see them have all my paper work.

The officer printed out a paper and pointed that I passed the civics, reading and writing test and they are recommending my case for approval. The officer returned my documents and congratulated me. 

The officer also mentioned that I should be receiving my oath ceremony appointment in next 2 weeks and will need to get the printed paper they handed over to me, GC and passport. 

The officer then walked me out and showed me the exit door. I walked out of the building, looked my watch and it was 12:41pm. So the interview only lasted a total of 6-7 minutes.

Checked my phone around 12:44pm and saw two USCIS emails that the N400 case status was changed to approved and that I had been placed in queue for Oath ceremony.

Almost done with this process. Cannot wait to get done with Oath and start the US passport process. 

Congratulations!!! Did you file under 5years or 3years rule?

Quick question. When called for interview, do I have to go with my partner? With the look of timelines have been seeing, I fear my spouse may not be around for go with me for the date I might have my interview.
