Hi all~

 

For anyone that had a I-751 and N-400 combo interview...did your N-400 appointment notice specifically state to expect one? 

In our case we have the I-751 pending since October 2018. Since sending the N-400 application, we got a notice that the I-751 was transferred to the NBC. Interview for the N-400 is scheduled for February 18th. 

 

In live chatting on the USCIS website, I've had one officer tell me to definitely not expect a combo interview unless the N-400 appointment notice specifically states it will be a combo interview, and another person tell me it "likely" will be a combo interview. 

 

Either way we will prepare as if it will be a combo interview just to be on the safe side, but I wanted to see if anyone could share their experience with me...specifically regarding what their N-400 appointment notice said if they ended up having an interview.

 

Thank you all in advance!

Okay - thanks! We're hoping so after reading cases of people getting their N400 adjudicated but then waiting months for their 751 to finish up :( Thank you!

unfortunately that's true. It's one of the USCIS's BS just to give you more hard times. Good luck. I wish you all the best
