Evening, no. I am still waiting for a date. I called USCIS yesterday and they advised it hasn't been scheduled, and it can take upto 120 days before a decision can be made. After the whole fiasco from start to finish, I kind of expect them to take the 120 days.

Hi guys.

Question for you both...

Did you guys apply for citizenship while your I-751 is/was still pending?

No. I didn’t apply for I-751. I applied on 5 year rule. Been on greencard since 2004

[NC1987 12]

Yes, I did. I spoke with my attorney and was informed that they rarely interview i751 whilst n400 is in place...

@NC1987 @KitkatTH DId you guys get your Oath ceremony scheduled? My interview date is fast approaching. 

[NC1987 12]

Morning, no I am still waiting for an oath date. Been over a month now!

Hi guys, 

I have I-751 pending, but my spouse could not go with me when I went for naturalization interview, so my N-400 could not be approved. The IO said that he will schedule an interview for ROC and then he would be able to approve both cases. We're still for the interview date for my I-751 case which I don't think it will be any time soon. We'll see.

Hi KitKatTH,

I went through the same thing.  I had my N400 Interview on Dec 8 which i had passed but a decision could not be made since my spouse could not go with me.  They finally scheduled my ROC interview which was 3/29. The officer told me she would approve both cases. I did not get another notification until 4/24 to say that i was approved and also in line for Oath ceremony. On 4/25 i got another notification to say my oath ceremony has been scheduled for 5/8.

 

When did u have your Naturalization interview?

I went for the interview on 20th Apr. Still waiting for them to schedule me a date for ROC interview. We'll see how long it takes. Will keep you posted.

By the way, congratulations on your approval! You must feel so relieved. :-) Where do you have to go for Oath Ceremony? Please let me know how it goes. :-)

hey guys, I have my interview next Monday. Two quesions:

* Can I use my phone in the waiting room or should I bring a book? I know the biometrics place doesn't allow phones, but I went to the field office to get a replacement GC and they allow phones.

 

* Should I bring my wife with me? I wasn't planning on it but confused about some of the replies above suggesting they take a dim view of people who come without spouse.

Yes, you can use your phone in the waiting area. Just need to put it on silent. Did you apply for N-400 under 3 years rule? If you did, it would be wise to bring your wife with you. :-)

I did! Moved in 2014, but couldn't apply right on the three year anniversary because USPS lost my green card.

 

Ok cool! I've asked her just in case. Do they just want to see her there or will they ask her questions?
