  1. My husband had his oath ceremony yesterday in Hartford. It was conducted at the USCIS offices by the Deputy Director. There were about 40 or so people being naturalized. The ceremony was short and sweet, but Thank God we are done with immigration! Wishing luck to all still on the journey!
  2. We went through the same - I had checked yes on the box on whichever form, but never got proof of his registration and checking the site didn't show that he was registered. I went on the site and registered him, and printed the confirmation. The officer asked for that at his naturalization interview.
  3. My husband just had his - I requested a combo interview when we filed his N-400. They called him in by himself, did his citizenship tests, then went through our copy of the I-751 that he brought with him and asked questions on that - she never called me in for an interview, and told him she was recommending him for approval, but had to request his I-751. He got his approval and oath ceremony notice in 3 days. Definitely have the spouse attend.
  4. Just went through the exact same situation with my husband - His N400 interview was 11/13, she said she was going to approve him but could not because of the pending I-751, but would request that and he should look for his oath ceremony notice in the mail. We got notifications the next day that his I-751 petition had been transferred, and Friday night he received notice that his oath ceremony is scheduled for December 3rd. I think it's at the mercy of how quick the agent moves who did the interview.
  5. Update, Oath Ceremony scheduled for December 3rd!! 🤸‍♂️
  6. I attached a copy of the I-751 and a letter requesting a joint interview. My husband had his citizenship interview this week - the agent told him she couldn't fully approve as she didn't have the original I-751 submission but was recommending approval. We received notification the next day that his I-751 had been transferred, and then that he is in line for the oath ceremony to be scheduled.
  7. We used tax return transcripts - Also bank accounts, mortgage, bills, etc.. - The "Or" relates to your tax returns, it's one or the other. My husband got approved on Wednesday.
  8. Some banks and CC will let you add them as an authorized user without a SSN -- TD Bank and Capital One both allowed me to add my husband before he had his SSN. We updated the accounts once he had it.
  9. Update to this - I received a notice this am that the I-751 petition had been transferred to another office, then we received a notice that the oath ceremony would be scheduled!
  10. My husband had his citizenship interview yesterday in the Hartford, CT office. I had submitted a letter with his application, requesting a joint interview for his lifting conditions. He was in the interview about 45 minutes (he's a talker!), and she did not request to meet with me. He passed his citizenship tests, and the agent went through his I-751 petition with him, and looked at the pictures and asked a ton of questions about our marriage, such as why we don't have our pay deposited to the joint account instead of transferring money to our own accounts (he explained that we reached and agreement and the mortgage, etc.. are paid from the joint). They also spent some time talking about Vegas, because ironically when we had our first interview, we had just booked a trip to Vegas for our anniversary - with this interview, we booked a trip to Vegas over Thanksgiving! She told him that she could not approve him on the spot due to the underlying I-751, but said that she was recommending him for approval and his oath ceremony letter would arrive in the mail. Our status has not yet changed online - oddly, I received a notice about a week ago that they had taken action on our case, but when I log into the website there is not an update. So, I guess we are in a holding pattern at the moment, but still feel relieved that the finish line is in sight!
  11. If you are already married, add him to your health insurance, then go to a doctor, walk in clinic, CVS, etc... and get the vaccines done under the health insurance. You potentially will have to repay the civil surgeon fee, but you can bring proof of the vaccines to cut the cost. You can use https://www.easyime.com/ to find a civil surgeon, and compare costs. We drove 45 min to get to one, but got my husband's medical done for $150 instead of $500.
  12. No need to re-read it, I've lived it. We filed a concurrent petition, and are now about to have my husband's citizenship interview.
  13. Incorrect information - You can file the I-130 and I-485 concurrently, even with an overstay, if you legally entered the US and marry a US citizen. It sounds like the I-130 may have been denied, or something to do with that - They are saying there isn't a pending petition, so if they filed concurrently, something had to have happened with the I-130 first.
  14. You can do an I94 search online, which will give travel history, that tracks your entries into the US - https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/history-search
  15. Just got our interview scheduled for November 13th! I got the "we've taken action on your case" notice, and in my excitement locked myself out of my USCIS account - so I was going nuts trying to reset my password and find out! So excited! 😀
