My wife's ROC was also pending, but the instructions on her N-400 interview did not say to bring me (husband).

The Washington, D.C. Field Office in Fairfax, Virginia has a history of turning away spouses that accompany their spouse to the N-400 interview, when not instructed to do so. I waited in the car, just in case the IO wanted to speak with me.

 

Although ROC was pending, we did not have a combo interview and the ROC interview was waived.

After notifying my wife that she passed the exams, the IO initiated a transfer of the ROC from the Potomac Office in Virginia, so that she could approve both the ROC and N-400.

 

It really depends on your Field Office, IO, pending ROC, and strength of your evidence for marriage based - 3 year rule, whether or not your case will be a combo interview. However, as stated by others, the spouse of the N-400 applicant should be available to attend the interview. 

 

Congratulations!!!

 

Congratulations:)

long did it take to get her both cases approved and get oath scheduled?

Thanks! Both cases were approved 12 days after the I-751 was transferred from Potomac station to the NBC on November 15, 2023. Oath ceremony was scheduled 29 days after case approvals. Your case may take less time, though. Congratulations on your impending oath ceremony! 😊
