I applied for N-400 and my I-751 has been transferred to NBC, most likely my application is going for combo interview.

Case Transferred: 2020-06-25 - Case is Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview

[BethyWink 96]

After almost a year of "Waiting for an interview to be scheduled" we got an RFE in the mail this weekend.   Our status online is still "Pending an interview to be scheduled".  The RFE asked for evidence from November 2019-Present??   Anyone know why they would ask for evidence of dates after we had applied?   (Its not like I do not have it, but its just more trees killed that could be resolved in an actual interview)

So this just popped up. What does this mean? 

Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken

As of June 26, 2020, fingerprints relating to your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number WAC-------, have been applied to your case.

Obviously they want to see that your marriage is still on-going. You said yourself that you filed over a year ago, a lot can happen in a year. You already showed them evidence from earlier in your marriage, obviously they don't want to see the same stuff again, so they're asking for newer, updated evidence.

But why not just schedule the interview then or approve the application, it makes no sense that they do an RFE while still waiting over a year for an interview to be scheduled.

Because during this pandemic things aren't working the way they normally would. This means that people who would normally get an interview may very well have their interview waived because USCIS are trying to prevent even bigger backlogs. For USCIS to be able to make a decision they need enough evidence, that's why they're asking you for more of exactly this, to make sure that you and your spouse are still in a bonafide marriage. Once they receive enough evidence to make a decision, it's very possible that they they could approve the case without an interview.

I hope you are right. Even though my status now is Ready for interview, I still hope they will wave it.

We have seen several cases of waived interviews where they normally would have an interview, so it's definitely not impossible. We just don't know how common it is, it's impossible to say how many will actually be this lucky. If I was in that situation I would much rather receive an RFE for more evidence and then get an approval after submitting the RFE response, instead of having to attend an interview. Especially since even getting an interview in the first place can take a very, very long time now due to all the shutdowns etc, who knows how long people will have to wait for interviews now. 😕

Yep. I got RFE. now waiting for interview. And I had my interview for AOS. this process drained me emotionally for many years. I want to move. And if my case is gonna get stuck on ready for interview, I will still move in August. I can not devote my life to that anymore. With everything going on at USCIS, like you said, it could take years now to get my gc. Life still going on
