yea i know they say a year... but i been paying attention it looks like the pattern is withing 4-6 months people in 2021 going into january and february of 22 were getting their interview notices.  I think alot of us would start getting interview dates scheduled now in july...

lol wellllllllllll to be fair, my initial aos took like 10.5 months, and then my lifting conditions took over 30 months for an approval.. due to covid.. so when I saw they were putting N400 on priority, the 1 year didnt seem too bad.. so eventhough it "says" 10 more months to go... I am hoping it follows the same speed I been seeing

I got my interview Friday, June 23th, Milwaukee field office, and interview scheduled. 
Applied online 2022-03-03 - based on 3 years marriage 
Interview scheduled on 2022-05-06
Interview date: 2022-06-24

Oath day: 2022-07-20
I had pending ROC. Last update on that was 2021-04-30 saying biometrics were reused. After that, no update, only other communication was the 24 months extension letter received on 2021-10.

 

N400 interview letter was just the standard one they send everybody, nothing mentioning the I-751 process.
Not knowing, I prepared for the different possibilities.

 

The letter said not to bring anyone due to Covid (except interpreters or something like that), but I brought my husband either way (in case of a combo interview), while being aware that he might not be allowed in. At the entrance, after showing my interview letter, I let the guards know that I had a pending Removal of Conditions, reason why I brought my husband in case the officer decided for the combo interview. They allowed him in and said that the officer would decide then.

I checked in, and waited about 15-20 min, when the officer called me. I let the officer know about my husband prior entering, to which the reply was that they would then call him in, if/when we need him.

Turns out it was a combo interview, but no need for the husband. We went over both forms (first I-751, then N400), confirming/updating all the information. For information that needs to be updated (like employment, children...) they just ask you to check and sign (in a tablet) confirming the updated info.

When I uploaded the files when applying for N400, I mistakenly uploaded the wrong Tax documents, only noticing the error the day prior to the interview. So I brought the correct tax transcripts, and the officer scanned them to add those to my process.

 

My case is fairly easy. We never moved; never stayed out of the country for long; we got one kid after the marriage; no prior marriages or other kids; we got joint bank acct and credit card; all our vehicles have the title with both our names on it; we always filled our tax as "married filing jointly". That might be why the officer didn't ask for the documents/pics/evidence. Nothing I brought was used or asked (aside from my identifying documents: passport, state ID, greencard).

 

Today (next business day) is when they updated my case status for the N400. No updates for the I-751, and I don't quite care.

 

My final impression/comments

- Some people go crazy if something has changed in their process; I'm pretty sure some people here in VJ would have had almost a heart attack if they found out a day before the interview that they were missing most of the tax transcripts. At the end, no need to freak out, they update or add any missing document at the interview.

- Even though they just ask for you alone, if you have a pending ROC, bring your spouse along; best to leave at their discretion, giving them the possibility to call your spouse or not.

- They don't always ask for documents or further evidence. Bring them either way, you never know.

- Each officer and case are different, so prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

- Overall, the officer was really nice and straight forward.

- Don't go crazy if they don't update your case status right away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

OMG are you in Milwaukee? Me too and exact same position. Have my interview in a few weeks, which I’m guessing will be a combo interview. What day of the week is your oath ceremony? Just wondering if there’s any chance that I could have same day ceremony… my interview is on a Wednesday but can’t find on line which days they do it in Milwaukee. I have a trip already paid soon after the interview and unless the ceremony is the same day, I might not have time to get my new passport.

I was not given same day option, I think they just don't do it, by the way the officer said. She said they schedule for the next available spot (not exactly with those same words).

My oath ceremony is scheduled for a Wednesday, the 20th. So they might do those daily (just a guess), but the chances of there being an open spot for the same day as you are there is slim (someone would have to ask to reschedule, thus, opening the spot). You can try to plea or something, because of your trip. But most likely the officer will say they that you should ask to reschedule the oath for after the trip.

 

Passports might take some time to arrive:
 

Routine	8 to 11 weeks
Expedited	5 to 7 weeks
Expedited at Agency	Must have international travel within 3 business days

 

I've seen posts about people getting way before those times, but not everyone, so don't count on that. That text says 3 business days, but I saw in the same site mentioning 14 days. Also, the closest agency is in Chicago.

We got our interview scheduled notice yesterday --> August 22 at the Hartford, CT field office! So for us it was 5 months from application to interview. The estimated time online was 13 months.

 

We also have a pending i-751 (applied May 2021) and the status of that has not changed.

I looked at the timelines of the applicants of my office and looks like the office is all over the place. Can’t see a pattern..
