The Dallas Field Office emailed us only 2 days prior to wife's N-400 interview to tell us it would be a combo interview for both the I-751 and N-400.  Of course, I had been planning for a combo anyway.

Would you mind sharing your combo interview experience?

N-400 was just approved! Oath ceremony will be scheduled. Almost there....

Had a very similar sounding interview experience to you in Houston yesterday. Sadly no N-400 approval yet. Officer said it would take a few days. 
 

Did you get any update to the I-751 status as well either before or at the same time as N-400 approval?

Yes. The I-751 was transferred and then approved shortly after the N-400 interview. My oath ceremony has been a horror show though. This is crazy!

Oh no! How so?

USCIS has set a different date for the oath twice and then cancelled twice, and even changed the location. It's been a nightmare. I'm seeing this all online, have not received anything in the mail. This is ridiculous at this point.

Ghost updates happen to many people. I assume, any time the case is open, you get "we have taken action on your case" whether any action was taken or not.

I was given the booklet with the civics questions at my biometrics. I had a coworker tested me twice daily with 20 questions for a month. I also did the quizzes on the app. 
 

I did not get my green card by marriage. My son applied for me. I took my foreign passport, driver’s license, green card and appointment notice. That is all they asked for at my appointment. I did have original birth certificates for my 3 kids but they did not ask for it. I did not take tax transcripts, just uploaded online. 
 

Hope this helps.

Thank you, this is very helpful! My biometrics got waived. Do you know if I can get the booklet elsewhere or maybe online? What is the name of the app with the quizzes?
