Here is my update. We had to cancel our interview due to contracting COVID. USCIS rescheduled for 02/21/2021. APPROVED!!!!

Great news! How did you reschedule the interview? We need to delay it until July as we are stuck outside the country...  not sure if that will be possible....

Portland field office for local. My RoC was WAC (So CSC?), and then it was transferred to NBC last year in October.

Not sure what PD stands for?

We are Portland field office as well. Good luck, looking forward to good news

Anyone else who was transferred to NBC have any updates they can share? 

No updates here, either. Hubby's i-751 was transferred to NBC in March 2020 (yep, a year ago!). The online case status has been "my case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" since May 13, 2020. We've already submitted two case inquiries due to being outside normal processing times and had our DC Congresswoman contact USCIS. No movement. 

 

Hubby filed the N-400 in May 2020 and his citizenship interview is this Friday, March 19. I thought USCIS would schedule a combo interview after he had to get the ADIT stamp in his passport in January 2021, but it looks like the interview Friday is just for citizenship. No idea how this will pan out.

I was in the same situation. I had my N-400 interview last friday. 

Agent was not extremely friendly, but still polite. We did the civics test, reading and writing test which I passed, then asked the yes/no questions and signed some stuff. But then he said that because my i-751 was still pending, which he wasn't aware of until this morning (how???), he couldn't approve my n-400 until he reviews the i-751 in the next few weeks. I will receive a decision letter in the mail and then a notice to appear for the oath ceremony should the case be approved. He gave me a receipt stating that I passed the test but that the case could not be adjudicated today. I asked if my husband (who was waiting in the car) needed to come in and he said no. So I'm assuming we won't have an interview for the i-751.He didn't ask for any additional documentation, other than to see my green card and passport. 

I was disappointed since I know of other people in the same situation that got their i-751 approved on the day of the citizenship interview. I was hoping to be done with USCIS today but I guess I'll survive a little bit longer

USCIS, depending on the FSO. will normally notify with a follow-up USPS delivered letter advising that the N-400 will be a combo joint I-751 interview informing that the spouse is required to also attend.  If it were me, I would plan to accompany your spouse in the event that they failed to notify of the combined joint interview status. That way they will not have to re-schedule the N-400 to include having a joint combo of your I-751. Progressive analytical projected thinking...

Thank you for your reply. We appreciate the support!

 

Did you have an interview for AOS so it wasn't necessary for ROC? Hubby's AOS was approved without interview in 2017, which is probably why his i-751 is still pending. I assume the pandemic, combined with the general USCIS backlog, has delayed scheduling for the i-751 interview. BUT STILL! He filed 1 year and 11 months ago. It's totally insane. 

 

I wonder whether the IO will have a similar reaction during my husband's interview on Friday--that he/she was not aware of the pending i-751....

Oh, I will definitely be there! Me and our two gigantic binders with copies of all i-751 and N-400 documents submitted, plus all updated docs since the applications were received....

Interesting. I haven't received a follow up letter, just the two separate letters with appointments at the same time, which I guess is enough in itself to say it's a combo interview.

If you've received 2 separate appointment letters, and they each specifically indicate N-400 interview, I suspect that whoever internally processed the 2nd letter erred and should have mailed the I-751 interview notification during the N-400 scheduled interview. Anyway, both of you plan to attend, and inform the interviewer or during the inside check-in process after you've cleared USCIS FSO security upon entering the building.  You are good to go!

Sorry I should've clarified, they were 2 separate letters addressing each the N400 interview and the I-751, but both scheduled at the exact same time. But yes, my husband will definitely be there with me for the I-751 portion of the interview.

Rest assured the USCIS Interviewing Officer will conduct a joint combination interview. You'll be asked if you have supplemental evidence you would like to submit, such as bank statements, utility statements, car insurance/registration documents, and others that demonstrate your life and marriage is legitimate. Easy peasy!

I did not have an interview for AOS, so I'm not sure if the IO was just satisfied with the N-400 interview or if he will end up calling us for an interview. The whole process with USCIS is always so backwards 😅

You will have a combined joint interview then. Our interviewer began by questioning the two of us together, as to full birth names, DOB, where did we meet and date, how long we had lived and been together. All in all I was in the first part of the interview 9-11 minutes, then asked to return to the waiting room area. My spouse's N-400 interview lasted another 19-20 minutes, and was advised that the interviewer was recommending his approval for US naturalization.  Now we're awaiting notification of the scheduled Oath Ceremony date and time in Atlanta.

I hope your IO looks at your file before your interview so it can be adjudicated on the same day instead of just waiting like me! 😅
