N 751 and N 400 joint couple interview experience

[Bhagi 10]

Hello ALL,

 

Finally IT OVER,

 

So I had I751 videotaped interview after denial of N 400 interview last month. me and my spouse arrived at USCIS 30 min early. After security we went to interview line windrow where they checked my N 751 joint appointment letter as well as I showed them last N 400 too. They gave us token number and informed you will be called soon. After 15 mins of wait super friendly young officer called our number and from the starting point to the end she was super talkative and friendly.  She then took us to her office and told us that before you take seat you need to talk oath. After that she turned on the camera and took out my N751 and N 400 big thick files at the same time. Then she goes we will go through both case one by one. She started with what is your wedding date? where was it? how did you meet? when did you decided to get married? why you do not have kids? where do you work? then she asked for any evidence we have for our marital union. we provided with Car insurance,  last 3 years tax return, our Chicago, Texas and India trip tickets, pictures. Bank statements.  She said she can not approve i 751 but she is going to request because her system is down at this time. then she goes now we will start with N 400 I was in impression that she will not take exams for 400 because last month during my official N400 interview date they denied to take my interview because 751 was pending. 

In N400 mostly she went through my form which I sent. She asked all those questions again and then she took writing, reading and history test. She just asked 6 questions in test and she said you got all 6 right so we are done. Officer provided me with form N-652 which says my A number and CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR APPLICATION HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL. She said because we need to stop your new green card process we will not be able to put you in next Oath Ceremony but most probably you will be schedule for last week of June. 

 

Thanks every one for providing all important info during journey from VISA to N400.

Congrats!

 

Were both of you there for the I751 portion of the interview?  When we did ours, the IO requested I come back with Katya for the I751, then I was escorted out and Katya had her N400 interview by herself.  We also were in the same boat, the I751 was not officially approved there, but was transferred to the NBC office and we received the approval NOA about a month later, the N400 was approved, but we had to wait for the I751 approval before they could schedule the oath, so now Katya has her oath scheduled for June 11th!

Yes We both were there for i 751 Interview. After 751 was over the officer said I am not going to ask your spouse to go out as it will take onlt few minutes for test so my spouse was there next to me while IO took Reading, Writing and history Test.  Today my 751 status was changed online and now it says that "New Card is Being Produced" but IO already informed me that I am not going to received 10 years GC as n400 is approved.

Yes, we are getting the same message, but the IO never mentioned anything about not receiving it.  I know we plan on bringing it to the oath if Katya does receive it, and if not, we will bring the I751 approval NOA.

She said you just need to take your first GD which is already expired and on top of that she said we do not want to spend money and time for 10 year GD which does not make any sense because you are already approved for N 400 and she hand over me American Passport application form which I need to take while I go for oath ceremony. It is not mandatory but they do it just extra service here in bay area i guess.
