  1. Apologies, I missed the part about the I-751 still pending. Amazingly I didn't have an interview for my I-751, and never had a combo interview with my spouse at any point in my visa journey. Covid may have had something to with that, perhaps clear cut applications with no issues were expedited during that period. Obviously things are different now compared with when I went through my application. I agree that in the situation of the applicant above, they should reschedule their interview to a time when their spouse can also attend. Or at least contact USCIS and tell them the situation and ask what they recommend.
  2. When I had my N400 interview in November 2022, it was just me being interviewed (my spouse had to wait in the waiting room). My interview was very easy compared with most of the other stages of immigration, and my case was simple as nothing had changed, we were still married, still living at the same address, everything up to date and above board and the Civics and English test were no problem. There were still some COVID restrictions in place last year that might have been a factor in my case, but I don't think spouses are jointly interviewed for the N400. Your interview letter will make it clear who needs to attend, and if your spouse isn't mentioned in the letter then you should be fine to attend on your own.
  3. Sorry for the delay in responding, it's been a whirlwind since the ceremony. When I got to USCIS and handed my Oath Letter in at the desk leading to the ceremony hall, the supervisor asked me for green card. I replied "just the current green card or do you need the expired conditional green card and work permit cards too?", to which she replied "your green card and any other expired cards you have on you". I asked if I could keep them as souvenirs, and she said sorry, but no. So I had to hand all of them back. I guess I could have kept quiet about the conditional green card and work permit card, and could probably have kept hold of them. But as I brought them to her attention, I couldn't really hold them back and had to return them. I did take photos of them before I went to the ceremony, so I still have those as a reminder of my journey from immigrant green card holder to citizen!
  4. I have my Oath Ceremony tomorrow, and in the letter it asks that I bring: "All Permanent Resident Cards ("green card") that you have, valid or expired. Along with employment authorization cards, valid or expired." I have all these cards - my expired 2 year conditional green card, my expired employment authorization card (that is also the I-512 Advanced Parole), and my current 10 year green card - and I will be bringing them to the ceremony with me. Do we get to keep these cards as souvenirs, or do we have to give them back to the USCIS?
  5. Hey all, Been a while since I've been on here after my ROC, and now it's time to push forward with N400/ Naturalization. I've read the guides and have filled out my application online via USCIS website. No concerns except with one question about my "name" on my Permanent Resident card. In one section of the application form it asks: "What is your name exactly as it appears on your Permanent Resident Card?" There is a check box below this that states: "The name on my Permanent Resident Card matches my current legal name" Then below this are three boxes - 1. "Given Name (first name)", 2. "Middle Name" and 3. "Family Name (last name)" On my green card there are only headings for "Surname" and "Given Name". My surname is correct, however, under the "Given Name" heading they've put my first name and middle initial. i.e. if for example my name was John Michael Smith, my green card would show "Smith" as my Surname and "John M" as my Given Name. As such, I've filled in the N400 to show my Given Name as "John M", my Surname as "Smith" and I've left the Middle Name and check box blank (see pic). Is this the correct way to fill out this part of the N400? Many thanks for any advice.
