Can you elaborate on that case please? Did the officer interview her over the phone or did they drive there after the call?

I doubt USCIS ever does interviews over the phone. He had to come in person.

I am with you. I just cannot get her to come unfortunately. What I want to know if there is anyone who went by themselves and got approved.

@MHZ I am the person you are looking for. I had my N-400 interview on 11/04 in Dallas while my I-751 was still pending. In my interview notice, there was no mention of bringing the spouse. I still took my wife with me in case USCIS wants to do combine interview.  However, the interviewing officer called only me for the interview and was not interested calling wife. Officer formally started with I-751 interview and told me that my I-751 is approved  (I was kind of shocked and surprised). Then officer started with the actual N-400 interview. I passed the interview and was given a sheet telling me that decision can not be made. On 05/09, my I-751 was approved on case status website after raising status inquiry. Finally, today got the notification that my N-400 is approved and oath ceremony will be scheduled.

 

In worst case, if they require your wife's presence then they will reschedule your interview. Good luck!

I agree with @nywestq here.

 

Good Luck!

Anyone else got an email this morning from USCIS ? May 21st is when they sent me the interview notice for N-400 for  June 25, an still no news on the I-751.

 

However I remember reading in one of the posts that someone heard from USCIS a month after their case was transferred to NBC or is it  like @punter13, we will find out during the N-400 interview about  I-751 approval? Hoping to hear something as it has been a month since the NBC transfer.

The email that you got is a generic email that I also used to get. But I disabled it as it did not serve any purpose. If your I-751 case was transferred to NBC then most likely your I-751 is combined with N-400 at your local office. So you will find out on your interview day about the exact status of I-751.

Folks,

My husband works for DHS-USCIS. He has informed me that there have been a massive number of lay-offs in all departments of USCIS in the past few weeks. 

I would suspect this would cause more delays for processing. 

Let's hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

 

 

 

I found this in the "Expect more delays" topic

I just had my combined interview. I passed the tests but the system was down so they said checked in a few days but I should be approved. 

 

Here is how it went:

I was asked for bank statements from 2017/2018 as well as the latest tax filing.

I had to sign a statement saying that my green card was confiscated (have to take to the oath ceremony) and that if I receive a new card, I will return it in the mail.

Took the test (6 questions, 1 read statement and 1 write statement)

Then I was asked a series of questions about my affiliations, myself and my wife.

After that confirm my info and name change (if any).

 

Took a notice that I have been through the interview and the statement and left.

No she did not. The officer didn't even ask where she is.

I received 2 updates just now:

I-751: Your name was updated

N-400: oath ceremony will be scheduled
