Hi everyone,

 

I have my N400 interview scheduled for next Tuesday, and my I-751 is pending (status has not changed since June of 2019 - 'Case Was Received').

I went to the infopass appointment to get my I-551 stamp, and the officer told me that I will have a joint interview for both cases that are pending. 

 

However I have not yet received a notice for I-751. I guess there are still 5 business days until my interview to get one but I was wondering what should I do in the event I don't get an I-751 interview notice: should I bring my husband with me just in case along with supporting documentation (which I can only guess at this point since I don't have a notice that lists everything I need to bring) and just assume I will have a joint interview?

 

Thank you!

Yes don’t wait for the i751 notice, it will be most likely a combo interview and you need to bring your husband and the supporting documents for ROC. I would suggest just getting the extra documents that you have not submitted already to USCIS, like updated joint statements, etc

 

best of luck

I had my N-400 interview with a pending I-751 a couple of weeks back. My I-751 status was "Ready for interview" but no interview date set and I also received no letter that it would be a combo interview. 

 

I took my wife with me on the advice of fellow VJers. To set expectations, my wife was not let in as my interview letter was for N400 only, so she waited in the car. I asked the security guard about it and he said if it is a combo interview, I would be allowed to call her and she could come through. That said, I then asked my interviewer about my I-751 and she said she had approved it on the spot so it turned out there was no combo interview, just the N400.

 

Every case and field office is of course different, but absolutely take your husband (let him know he likely won't be allowed in so bring a book/ coffee/iPad) and take all evidence that you would for an I-751. Also make sure to ask your interviewer before you start so you know what is going to happen and get the lay of the land.

 

Good luck, I hope it goes as smoothly as possible for you!

Thank you both!

 

Yes, I printed out as much of the supporting evidence for the I-751 as I could so hopefully that will be enough. 

My husband was planning on coming with me anyway so shouldn't be much of a hassle for him to just wait in a car if not allowed in :)
