First, I want to say thank you to everyone on the forum, you all are the best. I had my N400 /I-751 interview on Thursday at Philadelphia and was given a recommendation for approval notice. This morning my I-751 changed to approved and this evening my N400 changed to oath ceremony notice was mailed. When I checked my online portal, my ceremony is coming on the 16th of this month. finally the stress is over. I still can't believe how fast it went. 🙏

Congrats!

Did you had both interviews scheduled or you had n400 and you just arrived with your spouse and asked to let you do i751 too? 

I have an n400 interview in 2 weeks in Philadelphia, and my i751 is still ready to schedule an interview.

I had i-751 pending since last year April and was only scheduled for N400 interview. Went with my spouse and IO said he will do both. He told my spouse to sit that he will reach out if he needs any info. But he eventually didn’t reach out for my spouse but had only me for the removal and N400 interview.
