Great news and best of luck!  I know what you mean about it coming up fast, when my wife filed the N400 with her I751 pending, we were prepared to wait several months to hear anything, but two months later her interview was scheduled.

 

Aside from that and the book we are patiently waiting for 😀😂, will you be providing any humorous stories like TBone about the civics preparation?

 

Good Luck!

Hi!

Generally this means the I751 package was transferred to the NBC to eventually be transferred to your local office so it can be combined with your N400 application.

 

Good Luck!

Hey Crazy Cat , Congratulations,  It seems our timelines are nearly identical,  we also just received an appointment for 8 December (also in Dallas).   We filed N-400 on 7 Aug 2021 also and the i751 is pending from October 2019.  .  Quick Question:  Does your  USCIS account also show that the estimated time until case decision shows 9 months?  even though we have the December appointment?     We are also wondering about the pending i751 with no idea if they'll do them both simultaneously.   Congratulations once again,  best of Luck to ya'll.

Kevin

 

(Edit:  I just noticed you filed 7 Aug 2022 !!!  woaaah   that was quick we filed 7 Aug 2021,)

Hi Crazy Cat! 
Congratulations hearing that good news.

Btw, in your timeline you have filed N-400 on 8/07/2022 and there’s also 8/7/2022: Uploaded request for combo interviee

I am curious, is this a sort of a process that the applicant can do or is this a notification from USCIS?

thank you.

Thanks.  I appreciate that.  I uploaded a self-written letter as extra evidence or unsolicited evidence (same place as I uploaded tax transcripts). In the letter, my wife merely gave them a brief history and requested a combo interview.  @Family  made the suggestion and made a prediction that my wife would get an interview in about 3 months.  Did the letter work?  Well, we got the interview in about 3 months.  Her official I-751 status is still "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview".  I expect it will be either a combo interview or a waiver of the I-751 interview.

Wow! This could be very helpful.

I have already submitted my N-400 application online a week ago. You think I should still submit a request for combo interview?

I don't think the letter means anything. It just has a placebo effect. USCIS know that you have a conditional GC and that you are waiting for the ROC. I sent my N 400 2 months ago and I did not include a letter. I added the GC and the extension letter. I think it is sufficient. I associate the combo letter as a begging.

And in the most honest way, you don't want another I 751 interview, you d want it waived ! :)

Maybe.  Maybe not.  Your opinion is your opinion.  But I know of one person who submitted their N-400 exactly 1 year before we submitted my wife's N-400.  Same local office.   Their interview is 1 week before my wife's interview.   Took them more than a year.  We submitted my wife's N-400 about 3 months ago.

 

Begging?  🤣.Laughable. Is an expedite request begging?  Is asking to get an ADIT stamp in your passport begging?  Is asking an elected official for help begging?   We submitted my wife's I-751 in March of 2019.  I think we have waited long enough. 

 

BTW, please fill out your VJ timeline.
