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?

The officer who interviewed me told me to call if I didn't hear anything within 30 days.

Do you know if we should call just a general USCIS number?

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!

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.

I got an email from USCIS this morning saying " we have taken action on your case " but there is no update on my account, no new documents either. Did this happen to anyone?

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.

How long did it take for y'all to get the N-400 interview notice in the mail ?

[Ashley Marin 15]

For those who received interview notices, how many days after you first got the status change online to "interview scheduled" was the actual interview date?

Interview notice online April 29th, interview and same day oath June 3rd (4wks). Notice arrived in mail 10 days after update online.

 

All the best.

Thanks! What all did you do to prepare for the interview and what did you take to the interview?

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?
