Just had my interviewed this morning. They had to do a combo interview since my ROC was still pending.

 

The officer gave me a little bit hard time since I showed up alone without my husband. It took a little bit longer but I think I did well. The officer didn't approve my N400 on the spot but said that is due to the pending ROC, which needs to be approved first before he can proceed the N400 application. He did congratulate me and gave me a piece of paper with oath location info. He said I should receive the official oath ceremony letter via mail in the next 30 days.

Congratulations! What were some of the questions asked? You said, "the officer gave you hard time." Can you please throw some light on the officer's concerns??

My ROC (i751) was pending still and I showed up for the interview by myself. The officer saw me alone and asked questions about why my husband wasn't here for the interview (why isn't he here?/where is he?/are you guys still married? etc.) before inviting me into the office. The whole conversation happened in the waiting area and I was worried that I might get turned back today. I told him I was there for the naturalization interview and they didn't ask for the presence of spouse for it. He looked at his file and told me we might have a problem. He invited me into his office and then explained to me that technically he couldn't do anything today until the ROC was approved.

Long story short, he went to check with his supervisor and I had to wait in the office for like 15 mins before he came back saying he will do a combo interview for me today.

May I ask what questions about N-400 like the applications questions? what doc you have to show? Thank you!

Was your I751 transferred from CSC to another office?

The officer went through all the "have you ever been questions (arrested/deported/committed a crime/joined and/or supported terrorist groups).."with me and verified the info that I have provided for N400 application: the address listed is still current?/when is my son's birthday (we had a baby last year) etc.

 

The questions he asked regarding the N400 application portion lasted less than 10 mins. That being said, he did ask a lot of questions during the i751 (ROC) portion of the interview (have you filed for divorce since your application process started?/do you guys live together still?/do you still have the same medical/dental insurance?)

 

To be honest though, to me, the whole interview process was more like the officer trying to verify the info that I have provided for N400/i751 applications, rather than actually asking questions.

 

At the end, the officer passed me a piece of paper with oath on it and asked me to read the whole thing. He asked me if I understand the oath and have any questions/objection. 

 

Document wise, I did bring our tax records for the past 4 years (filed jointly) but he only looked at the house mortgage tax document and asked for a copy of it. I provided him my son's birth certificate and he took a copy of that as well. I didn't bring anything related to i751 application.

Not that I am aware of.

 

According to USCIS my case status for i751 still shows "Case was received". But the officer had both application forms (i751 and N400) with him this morning.

Thanks for info

I have interview scheduled for 05/21 and I have ROC pending in CSC. I thought that my I751 has to be transferred to Detroit for combo interview.

My interview is going to be on May 30th. @spielerin what were the civics questions, do you remember?
