How did the interview go? did they schedule your oath? My interview is this afternoon.

It was pretty easy and staright forward, just remember to study the civic after that everything else is a breeze and yes they schedule just do not know the date. It said it is scheduled but will probably see it tomorrow online.

Had N-400 interview this morning in Orlando and my case was continued.  I'm a little confused and am looking for input from others.

I have been a conditional permanent resident since April 2015 based on marriage to a US citizen in April 2014. I followed the guidelines for submitting the N-400 (90 days prior to the 3 years of permanent resident approval). At the interview, the  first thing the officer told me was that because my I-751 (petition to remove conditions of residence) had not been adjudicated, he would not be able to make a decision regarding the citizenship today. He nonetheless interviewed me and administered the Civic and English test, which I successfully passed. He told me that because of the overlapping of the applications he could take up to 3 months before a decision could be made. At the end of the interview, however, he handed me a notice of continuance requesting I provide further proof that I have been married and living in a marital union with my spouse for the 5 years prior to filing the N-400. I have about 2 months to submit the additional documentation.

 

I'm confused because:

1. The requirement to file an N-400 based on marriage and continued cohabitation is three years from the date of marriage;

2. The Notice of Continuance requests I submit proof of marital union for the 5 years prior to filing the N-400 to be submitted in the next two months, and I've only been married for 4 years; this automatically makes the application invalid.

After a preliminary research, we found that the if the I-751 case is still pending at the time of the N-400 interview, the officer can adjudicate both cases at the same time. This information comes from an older USCIS document, to which I provide the link: 

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Laws%20and%20Regulations/Memoranda/cond_perm_resident_.pdf

However, the document also redirects to an updated version of the memo, which states that a decision on naturalization cannot be made until the condtion on residency has been removed. Please see section B of the link I provide: 

https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume12-PartD-Chapter2.html

Any inputs would be appreciated. 

Thank you.

Mine is tomorrow in the Orlando office as well. How was your interview? Did you pass? what questions from the civic test they asked you? What time was your interview?

 

Thank You

Thank You

The interview was very quick. It was at 7:20 am and I arrived 15 minutes early. I went through security and check it and about 5 minutes after sitting down I was called. Questions where, who is the speaker of the house, one of the longest rivers in America, what are the first ten amendment, When did America get independence and I forgot the other one. The officer just verify my information on the application and showed me what it would look like on me naturalization certificate and said it was approved. I was a little nervous so we were joking about that. Overall it was easy and quick.
