I wish I was scheduled at this location. The process at Campbell Education Center takes 4-5 hours, I have heard.

Sigh. After reading your other posts, what else is so important that you are so bothered about waiting for the oath ceremony to start ?

Lover and hubby to 1, Daddy to 2. I do enjoy growing older but not growing up.

A filthy, dirty oilfield engineer.

N400 through marriage to another filthy dirty oilfield engineer.

If it was a combo, were you required to go in with her?

Did you assume it was going to be a combo interview or were you instructed?

I dug up info about how they adjudicate combo applications and i assumed a combo based on my findings. However, the interviewer was shocked when i walked in without my spouse. She told me that without passing the removal of condition interview(I-751) i would not be able to do the N-400 Citizenship interview. I saw both files on her table with red pen marks on every page and several sticky notes. My I-751 interview was pending interview since October 2021. I submitted N-400 December 2021. The interview letter only specified N-400 citizenship. I was not instructed. After the I-751 interview, she congratulated me and we moved to the citizenship interview(2 parts). Total time of about 1 hr.

So the Officer conducted an I-751 ( that was filed joint)…even though your spouse was NOT there? !!
Then approved ( passed) to do the N-400 ? 
 

Thank you for posting, seems each Field Offices use varied strategies.

Yes! she only needed proof i was still with my spouse. She requested  the original birth certificates of my kids. She complained bitterly that i had no Texas Driver's license since i moved from FL in May 2019. Relocated to the US Feb 2019. I defended that with COVID-19 delays about switching ID and the fact that my travel job did not allow. My FL license valid for 7yrs. Another issue was my rental lease. I submitted N-400 December 2021 with lease ending June 2022. She requested the lease renewal document which was signed June 2022 (I did not go with a copy and the pdf was sent to my wife's email by the real estate agent). She was pissed! She requested for any 2 recent documents to confirm that i still live with my spouse at the same address. I was confused and i asked her to allow me switch on my phone and log into my utility accounts to retrieve the pdfs of recent Utility bills. She agreed and i logged on to pull the utility bills. She rejected Internet bill outrightly. She also rejected Electricity and Gas because it showed only my name on both. Finally, i was lucky with the water bill(Had the current address with both of our names on the water bill and bill was generated as paid 2 days before the interview.  After verifying the first document, she requested another to make it two. I scrambled and hopelessly flipped through the documents in my folder and saw our Texas DMV Proof Vehicle registration printed in color. She was glad that i found the second document(we renewed the vehicle registration 10 days before the interview, document had our current address and we co-own the car ) Bingo! she verified my wife's name on it and I survived the removal of condition interview-I-751. She became calm from there and the N-400 interview and tests were axed. I was with her for about 1hr.
