Congrats! Your case sounds little bit different.

Mose cases are approved on the spot, and will be no production of the card. Did they advise you the reason why they couldn't make decision on Aug 21?

Is it because they didn't have I 751 files on hand back then? Did they mention anything about your N400 oath?

Hello and thank you. No they weren't specific on why they couldn't approve it on the spot. I did not want to be to "pushy" so i politely asked why and as told its a process and she would not be able to to approve the n400 until they approve I751 first. Every office might handle it different. Often from my research the officer needs the supervisor to look at the file prior to official approval. One case on here had an experience where after the combo interview they sent the I751 file to NBC for approval from local office and within a few weeks they got their approval. I havent been scheduled for oath yet. will update once that happen.

I see, yeah you are right every local office handle it differently. I'm pretty sure you'll be approved shortly.

Hi all, I believe our case got approved. 🤗 🤗 We received an email this morning with the status "New Card is being Produced". We are so happy that our ROC journey is finally over. I want to thanks the community for helping us with the process and for everyone that is still waiting to hang in there.

 

Just fyi, we received RFE on August 3rd, and we submitted additional evidence on September 10th. We are very surprise to receive and update in 2 weeks. Now we can finally relax about and not stress out about this.

Thank you!

Yes we did have a combo interview. I brought my wife with me. Asked a few questions than the officer escorted me out and asked my wife a few questions for 7-8 min tops. Than she brought me in and asked me a few questions for another 5 min or so. The officer told us from the beginning that local office would need to adjudecate I751 first. So after she was satisfied asking  for about 5 min about our marriage she than said we will procee to the N400 part. Asked me about 6 questions as I remember and wrote a simple question down. After she was done typing notes she handed me a letter that said a decision can not be made yet and that i did pass the N400 test. I asked her politely what does this mean she said that this is normal process. So about three weeks from the interview date I received an email at dhs.gov site that my i751 was approved and about a week after that received the notice in the mail. Currently waiting for the oath to be scheduled.

I see, looks like local offices all have different ways to do interview. Did they ask for more ongoing joint docs?

Yes. She asked me if we brought any joint docs so i gave her car title, joint credit card, joint bank account, 4 different bills with both names on them, i placed them on the table she glanced at them but she didnt make any copies of them. And yes every office must be different in they way they conduct their interviews as I didnt expect to be sepparated and interviewed separately even though it wasnt for a long time. If that what it takes than i am glad since my journey is finally over I got an email this morning that my oath has been scheduled and will be receiving a letter in the mail with the specifics.

hi friends

anyone recently had interview for i751 which the officer asked them about public charge or any question related to that?

a friend of mine had interview last week( not i751, she and her husband both changing from H1B to GC) and the officer more than three times in different ways asked them about food stamp, healthcare and governmental financial support.

why? its not still law! 

I heard it wont be retroactive. is it right?
