Official term for "combo interview"?

[EatBulaga 454]

For petitioners of both the N-400 and I-751 requesting the "combo interview", what is the exact USCIS term?

I can't seem to find any reference to the "combo interview" on the USCIS sites?

https://www.uscis.gov/n-400

https://www.uscis.gov/i-751

The only references to "combo interview" I've seen are on non-USCIS sites like VJ or immigration lawyers' sites, etc.

 

How have others requested the "combo interview" to USCIS as part of the N-400 petition after having filed the I-751?

Request "combo interview" or "combination interview" in the last part of Additional Information?

Sorry to make an issue of this, but "combo interview" sounds a bit unofficial or slangish. 😆🤪

 

Thanks in advance for any response.

You are right, there is no official word for this... Lawyers do say "combo", but it's not a legal term. You could write "joint I-751 and N-400 interview" in request or "I'd like to request both I-751 and N-400 to be adjudicated together".

I submitted a letter to USCIS (uploaded it with wife's N-400 application) as follows:

 

Wife's Name
Address 

August 7, 2022 

US Citizenship & Immigration Services 
P.O. Box 25920 
Overland, KS 66225
 
Dear USCIS Officer
 
Please consider this letter as an official request for a combination I-751/N-400 interview or waiver of the 
I-751 interview. We submitted my joint I-751 petition in March of 2019. My biometrics was completed 
in May of 2019. The status of my I-751, case number MSCXXXXXX has been “Case is ready to be 
scheduled for an interview” since May 2019. I have received no RFEs or requests of any kind. 

Sincerely, 
Wife's Name

 

A few days before wife's interview, I received an email from the local office saying that I was required to be there for a "combination interview".

Correction:

Actually, my wife got the email from the local office 2 days prior to her interview:

 

"USCIS Applicant,

Thanks!

I guess that is the official reference to the "combo interview", which is a bit wordy. 😂

 

Just like "biometric reuse" is not the officially referenced term.😂
