    Congrats!! You are almost done!

    If I remember right I received an email saying my I751 was approved, 7-10 days later more or less I received my new green card, and two weeks later more or less I received my Oath Ceremony notice. Total time between my interview and my Oath Ceremony notice was around 28 days.

    I had my I751 -  N400 combo interview on Thursday, everything went well. The officer at the end handed me a paper that says I've passed my test but still a decision needs to be made on my case. She said you'll be getting an invitation letter for the oath ceremony. So I'm here waiting to get a letter.  This morning I woke up to a text message that my I751 has been approved! But the wait continues ...  
    did those of you with combo interview receive a approval letter for I751? or just the oath ceremony invitation? 
    Thanks for the help!

    Congrats to your husband!
     
    I was also on last Wednesday's ceremony. It was great, I really enjoyed it and I felt it was all really well done and organized. I didn't wait the line for passport either, it was super long and I bet some people were waiting there for two hours or even more. I applied for my passport yesterday (I had a previous appointment) and it took me 15-20 minutes. The only thing I would like to comment about it is that it was a little bit more expensive to do it at the post office than at the Ceremony, but I really don't regret not waiting that line.
     
    I wanted to thank everybody in this forum. You guys have been a huge help in low moments when it felt that everything was being delayed. I just wish I knew about the forum earlier! You guys are awesome. Thank you so much! And good luck to all of you still waiting!

    Also, the only documents she asked for specifically were tax documents, marriage certificate, and passports and green card. She took everything we had anyway, and we had everything mentioned on the interview notice papers

    I had my combo interview yesterday. It all went well, but they didn't confirm their decision because they have to do a security check on the information we provided regarding the I751. The agent told me it can take up to 6 weeks, but if everything is OK it can be as fast as 2. Because of that extra time, she didn't think I will be able to be on the Oath Ceremony in November, but probably December and if not, January for sure. I will keep you guys updated.
     
    Before any of the interviews one agent gave me the envelope with the passport information and all of that. The envelope had wrong spelling on the Spanish translated version, but that's OK, it just catched my eye being my mother  tongue 🙂
     
    The I751 interview was exactly like I was expecting. She asked my wife and me questions about our relationship (where did we meet, when did we meet, each other birthdays, wedding day, how we met in-laws, trips we have done together and separate, etc.). As for the documents, she took everything we had with us, but she particularly asked if we had the marriage certificate, and taxes documents. Well, and passports and green card of course. After 30 minutes or so answering her questions she handed the form to us and asked us to review the changes.
    When that was done, she asked my wife to leave the room and we started the N400 interview. Some of the questions were exactly the same. We reviewed and completed the answers I gave when I originally sent it (in my case was just trips outside the US). She handed me the document to review, I gave it back when I was done and we started the test. I had to read this:
    - What is Columbus Day?
    I had to write this:
    - Mexico is south of United States
    And then she asked me the following questions:
    1- What does the President's Cabinet do?
    2- What is the supreme law of the land?
    3- What did the Declaration of Independence do?
    4- How many judges in Supreme Court?
    5- For how many years do we elect a Senator for?
    6- Name one branch of the US Government
     
    She handed me a paper saying I have passed the test, and told me that I will receive a notice about their decision on my I751 in the timeframe I mentioned above. If I understood properly, I will receive another separate notice after that regarding my Oath Ceremony.

    It is not on the actual interview notice, but in another paper that came in the same envelope. I can post a photo once I'm back home if you want.

    I can't find any estimated time left either. I'm also a paper filer.

    No, nothing. I sent two inquiries about the green card being so far behind the estimated time and how it was affecting the citizenship process and they just reply saying I should have an update on the case withing 90 days... but the update can be anything, so it was not really helpful. Fingers crossed we all receive new interview letters in September.

    I went for my second I-551 a month ago. As Hansum2 is saying, you can't select day and time like before. Now you request it and a USCIS agent will call you (I received the call the day after) and tell you the available dates. My appointment was three days after the call. Not sure if that is the normal time or I was lucky.

    90 days!? 😲 I hope they make things a little bit faster and it doesn't take that long for any of us...

    yes two notices, one for I-751, one for N-400. My N-400 interview was scheduled first, then was cancelled. then after 2 weeks, they sent me the I-751 interview notice and the second N-400 notice, both on the same date

    My case status online changed yesterday from "In line for Interview" to "Interview was scheduled". I'm not sure if they will cancel it due my I-751 still being pending (since June 2016). I will let you know.
  17. Thanks
