Received the office USCIS I-797 for approval of our I-751 and confirmation of N-400 approval.  Bring on that oath ceremony!!!

Congrats on your N400 approval. I just applied N400 online and my i-751 is pending from 01/2020 in Dallas office though my i751 interview is completed in 01/2022 and I submitted rfe docs in 02/2022.

 

I noticed in your timeline that you requested for combo interview on the same day you filed N400? May I know how to do that? I am not sure if I am eligible for combo interview as I already had my i751 interview but would like to give it a try to see if it can speed up the process.

 

Also, would you please let me know the receipt you received is online or through mail? I see the my case is already updated with receipt number online but I am not sure how we receive a copy of the receipt.

As @Family suggested, my wife simply uploaded a letter as extra evidence which stated our request and reminded the officer that we had been waiting a long time.  Did it work?  I'm not sure.  Did it do any harm?  Absolutely not. 

 

A few days before the scheduled N-400 interview, we received an email which stated it was mandatory for me to attend since it was a combo interview.

Both.  We received it almost immediately online in the "documents" section in my wife's USCIS account.  We received the hard copy (which I subsequently lost, lol) in the mail a week or so (I think) later.

Thank you, your answers are very helpful. My case status just changed to 'case is being actively reviewed by USCIS' . Hopefully it means something but I will try to add a letter like your wife as well as my i751 is pending from 3 years.

OK.  Great.  I'll just keep checking the online status.  Still says "Oath will be scheduled".

 Yes same deal for my wife, just waiting on the hard copy now. I did end up sending that additional information requesting a combo interview. Like you said it can't hurt.

I just checked my wife's status online.  It shows the I-751 case, but her N-400 case is missing.  It says "encountered an error retrieving your data"....  Weird. Maybe it's updating an oath date...😃

Lots of reports on Reddit about site being down or issues with the site. Today being Sunday might be due to site maintenance.

Yea.  I'm just wishful thinking....LOL. Several people who were approved the same week as my wife are getting oath notifications.

Has anyone gotten their oath ceremony scheduled who interviewed 12/14?  (No name change)
 

Feel like we have been waiting forever to see an update in the USCIS page. From what I’ve seen before, and others that were naturalized in Dallas earlier this year- oath ceremonies are scheduled fairly quickly. 

agh and the wait continues ☹️

We interviewed 12/14....no oath scheduled yet.  I thought we were the only ones.
