It was marriage based. Good luck in your interview!

I assume you didn't have a pending I-751 (Removal of Conditions). Is that correct?

Are they allowing to bring your spouse inside? My I751 is already resolved but thinking about taking my spouse with me just in case.

Hi everyone, I had my interview this morning in Minneapolis. Not a combo interview as my RoC was resolved in 2022 but brought my wife anyway. Arrived there about 30 min before the scheduled time. Took just a couple of min to get through the security, few more min to check in at the front desk and waited in the lobby for maybe 15 min. My ticket number was called exactly on my scheduled time. The officer was serious but friendly, I guess, as I found out after the interview he loves my home country for its beautiful landscape, etc. Anyway, he swore me in and asked 6 questions:

- One of 4 amendments on voting (18 or older, no $ to vote, women can vote, all race can vote)

- President during WW2

- No. of supreme court justices

- No. of senators

- How many years we elect president for

- One of the 2 longest rivers

 

He asked me to say out loud 'Who can vote?' and write 'Citizens can vote.' on the tablet.

 

Then some yes/no questions from the application followed by where do I live, with whom, where I got married, where I work. Then one final round of yes/no questions from the application. That was it!

 

I asked him if I passed and he said the software will tell us after confirming some personal information (address, name change, etc). The paper printed saying I passed and have been recommended for citizenship. I then asked about oath ceremonies and he said to wait for a letter in the mail and not to have travel plans for the next couple of weeks.

 

I came home to check the status update and found two updates:

 

Status	Date
Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled	January 20, 2023
We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review.	January 20, 2023

 

 

I guess barring something crazy, I will take my oath soon and this long journey will be over.

 

Those who are still waiting, good luck!! Shouldn't be too long for you.

Congratulations!!! I'm patiently waiting ... for both I-751 and N-400. Hearing your news gives me hope.

Thanks! Seems like 7-9 months is the going rate for MSP N-400 filers, hopefully you won't have to wait too long.

I don't know what to call this... coincidence? Fate? I just checked and my interview is scheduled for February 24th! The estimated completion time did change to 10 months though. 

 

No update on my I-751 but hoping both get adjudicated at the same time! Time to start the preparation.

Oh wow, congrats!!!!! Yeah it will definitely be a combo interview. FYI, I used the 'U.S. citizenship test' app and it was good. I am sure others are good too. Good luck brother.

The case status changed today to Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed. I checked my account and a pdf had been uploaded with oath ceremony date of 02/16 at St Paul River Center in downtown St Paul.

Best wishes!! The other bro filed about a month before you and got his interview date so hopefully you get yours soon too! MSP is making progress on cutting the wait time it seems.

[AffableAndy 107]

I just got my notice too! Interview on March 10. Doesn't say anything about I751 but I'll take my husband along, really hoping they get adjudicated together!

 

Time to update my binder and get ready!
