Good News! My Oath Ceremony is 10/11/18, i really was not expecting to get this fast. I thought it would at least be a month. However before i left i remember the officer mentioning that it seems they are holding more ceremonies.

It was only for N-400. I didn't have pending I-751.

They really are ploughing through the ceremonies, I wonder if they're trying to get all outstanding Oath Ceremony takers before the voting registration deadline ?

My oath ceremony is a month after my interview, this is good because i thought I would stay longer!! I can't believe that I will get over with usics and never gonna deal with them anymore!!

 

Good luck everyone

Update on my wife's interview this morning at 8:30am today:

 

Our officer was probably the nicest gentleman there. When he called my wife's #, I accompanied her to the door to ask if I'm needed for a combo interview, and he kindly said, "yes please, you can join her".

 

I-751

After going in, the officer took my wife's biometrics and then she was sworn in to tell the truth. The first thing he did was explain to us that he ROC was pending, therefore he will first interview her on that application. He started by collecting all the documents that we had brought for verification of identity, which included  expired GC, both our passports, driver's licenses and social security card. After verifying our identities, he collected evidence for continuing relationship. We provided tax returns for three years, recent bank statements, copy of lease agreement, health and car insurance documents with both our names. I didn't have any utility bills with both our names, but he was content with rest of the evidence. Then he went through the entire application line by line including all the dates, addresses, yes or no questions, etc. He was incredibly thorough and didn't skip over anything. After that, he said that the i751 application looks good, he doesn't have any reservations approving it. However he said that he is new at doing combo interviews, so it'll take a few days before he can have the application adjudicated. I'll take that as a win in my book, waiting a few days is acceptable than having to wait months for NBC to adjudicate the i751. 

 

N400

 

After that, he returned my passport and driving license but held on to my wife's. Once again, my wife had her left index finger scanned, and swore to tell the truth. At this point, I thought I was going to have to leave, but he didn't say anything. He already had all the evidence he needed from i751 application, so he didn't ask for it again. Also, all of my wife's evidence was  submitted online, so he had it on his screen for review. He started with the civics exam, then reading, lastly the written portion. She passed all three, so the officer congratulated her. After that, he went through the application line by line. He actually found a couple of minor errors, which he corrected and then asked my wife to review the corrections and then sign off on them through a mounted iPad. After that he printed a piece of paper that says she passed the exam but a decision cannot yet be made. To that he explained, he needs to adjudicate the i751 first, which will take a few days, and then he'll process the N400 to put her in queue for an oath. WE WERE ECSTATIC! Couldn't believe our ears. This crazy journey might actually be coming to an end very soon. I'll keep posted when I see an updates on My USCIS account, or receive something in mail

Well looks like all 3 of us are within days apart so I'm interested to see if it matters how soon you file or how soon the USCIS officer handles the case.

 

As for us, my wife's N400 application was submitted 5/4 and received by USCIS 5/9. Biometrics scheduled 5/11 for 5/29. Still waiting in limbo and checking the online website and mail every day now.... Hopefully we'll get some word soon back from USCIS.
