Wife will be in rehab for N400 interview while I-751 is pending

[Pcrat 6]

I have my citizenship interview filed under the 5yrs whiles I-751 is still pending. My wife checked into mental health rehab and won't be officially discharge before the interview date. 

Any advice on the way Forward?

She asks for a Day pass from treatment facility.

That is one option even though the therapist advice against it.

Then reschedule the interview, tell them wife is in treatment. Going without her will not get your I-751 decided , thus N-400 won’t matter , even if you pass.

 

Any marital stressors ..or reasons why you think they delayed ROC 3 years

Did you move during this time ? Again, are there any possible issues that would make them flag your file for more extensive investigation? 
‘Is there a big age/educational-professional /earning gap between you two..or

Same education and earning gap(wife make more than me), moved to two place pre and post covid and she did short contracts  travelling assignments due to her job shutdown.

That explains the transfers . Nonetheless, your choice is limited, either she attends with you or you reschedule . Ask for a date after her expected residential treatment . 
‘Going without her , you just expose yourself to possible unwarranted scrutiny . ..they will reschedule anyway

Well, it's pretty much a pattern:

 

- You bring extra evidence -> Nobody looks at it

- You don't bring extra evidence -> You get asked for it

- You bring spouse -> Nobody talks to them

- You don't bring spouse -> Officer turns sour and starts grilling you over marriage

 

OP's case already has few little flags, such as moving a lot. I wouldn't risk it. More evidence and spouse present is the day to go.

I agree. You can never know with USCIS I'm going prepared. Unfortunately,  they don't consider everyone circumstances are different.

I had the combo interview. I think it went well. Was just to indifference about taking my wife out of rehab for the interview. Thankfully,  FO was nice, made it easier for us to explain our circumstances. However, no decision was made. Still waiting
