Hi, sorry what is the I-751? and what is NBC? sorry, still new to this.

 

I have had my green card since 2009 and will expire in June 2019...If the timeline is correct, looks like my 10 year green card will expire before completion of the N-400 process 

Don't know what I will need to do then.

I-751 is used for spouse's GC conditions to be removed. It's a required process before applying for N-400. But I see you fall in to different category. 

 

NBC is National Benefit Center in Missouri where I-751s get reviewed before sent to local office such as Houston for a possible combined interview for I-751/ N-400. 

 

You can get an InfoPass appointment if you are cutting close to the deadline like 90 days before expiration day for your 10 year GC. I think they can give you a stamp on your passport in case the GC expires and you have to travel out of country.

Congratulations! What are you using to study for the interview? 

Study?

I started doing the Civics online questioning 2+ years ago, many of the questions are just common knowledge

For study material they must have sent you a booklet with civics questions to study with 100 questions. You can download apps or just google search it.

Thank you so much for the information, I truly appreciate it. I am the only one out of my family to be going through this process right now so I have been trying to research and find out as much as I can about all of this. I had downloaded the USCIS app to study questions, as @Timf79 said, they should be common knowledge but I was just wondering on the format or process of the interview.

The interview officer may ask about 3-5 questions from the civics booklet. They will ask you to read and write a sentence. They will approve if they think everything is normal.

 

Also, You will get an opportunity to change your name if you wish.

This makes everything less scary! Thank you! 

 

Are you just waiting to see if you will get the combined interview for your I-751 and N-400?

I went through naturalization process in 2007 but I-751/N-400 is for my spouse.

Congratulations! and I wish a speedy process for your spouse!

 

Hope you keep updating here and I will as well. From what I see is that Houston wait times are long but you are almost at home stretch!

How many of us are combo filers? I'm not sure if that helps us or hurts us.

Has anyone in Houston got an online update that “ Oath ceremony has been scheduled” in the past week or has received the Oath letter in mail for June oath ceremony?

To be honest, we are all in same boat and it’s very confusing, we didn’t get anything yet , just wait and stamp on the passport, god only knows what will happen in the future

I received notification that my N400 interview has been scheduled. Just waiting on the letter and hoping they will combine N400 with I-751.

Just got my mailed noticed of receipt May 11th.

This morning I got an email notifying me that they will be scheduling my biometrics. Super excited although my timeline still says 24 months... heh.
