Hello there, I sent my I-751 in July of 2021. In January of this year, 2023, I applied for citizenship and I already get a interview scheduled.

 

Do I need to call or do anything to get a combo interview or there is nothing I can you more than way and expect that they will maybe do a combo interview?

 

thanks

Some of us have uploaded request letters to MYUSCIS.  The verdict is still out as to just how effective the letters are, although my wife and I did receive a combo interview.   They can't harm.   I would most certainly prepare for a combo interview. 

This is a great idea. Do you have any model or what did you written on the letter? Thanks

Since the interview is for the N400, I would upload it in the N400 section.

Do you think just doing this is enough or I need to write something about it?

I don't fully understand the question.  I assume you will write a short letter referencing the N400 interview information, and the I751 information respectfully requesting a combo interview then upload it into the N400 section.  Like @Crazy Cat said, it is not certain that will do anything, but it certainly does not hurt to try.  Beyond that, I would assume even if you don't upload a letter, I would plan on a combo interview and prepare accordingly with both spouses attending and bringing any additional information you may want to add to the I751 package such as updated tax information.

 

Good Luck!

This is the letter I uploaded:

 

Wife's Name

Address

US Citizenship & Immigration Services

P.O. Box 25920

Overland, KS 66225

 

Dear USCIS Officer

 

Please consider this letter as an official request for a combination I-751/N-400 interview or waiver of the I-751 interview.  We submitted my joint I-751 petition in March of 2019.  My biometrics was completed in May of 2019.  The status of my I-751, case number MSCXXXXXXXX has been “Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview” since May 2019. I have received no RFEs or requests of any kind. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Wife's Name

There is no way to request a combo interview. Also it varies by field office if they will do it. 
 

I'd say there is a way request it, but whether the combo will be given depends on many factors.
