USCIS never sent me a letter for biometrics. Got my 18 months extension October 2018. Filed N400 and had a combo interview. I got approved of both N400 and removal of condition 8 days after interview. 20th of Feb. |

| Embassy Review : |
My interview was today by 7am. My husband and i got there 5:45am and we were called on a queue by 6:15am. They screened us and were told what we can bring into the embassy. We were told to open all sealed doc including our medical report. When i was in the main building i sat at the waiting room by 6:56am and my name was called by 7:15am. I was instructed to bring my passport photo, international passport, birth,wedding and police certificate with my photocopies. I was told to wait for my interview. I stood for about an hour until i got an available seat. Which i was instructed to sit. My immigrant visa type and student visa type were both in the waiting room. After couple mins my number was called for my interview. The consular was a nice,friendly woman. She asked the ffg questions, so your husband is calling you?
How did you meet?
For how long have you known him?
When did you become romantically involved?
So was it the first time he visited you got married?
Where does he live?
What do you do?
My questions were more of an interaction than questions. We laughed about the weather in michigan and told me her parents lived there and she then told me the magical words my visa has been Approved. I was not asked any docs by the consular or picture but i saw others did. Glory to God!!! |

Timeline Comments: 3Hello and congratulations on successfully arriving to the end of this process. I am still waiting. Would you be kindly share when did you receive interview letter, if the letter asked you to go alone or with spouse? what questions were asked from you during i-751 interview? Did they tell you after interview if you are approved or not? THANK YOU very much
Am sorry i am just seeing this comment. I filed i-175 2017 which was pending when I filed my N400 2018. I received my letter for N400 interview Jan 7th in mail. My interview was Feb 12th. I was not told i will be doing a combo interview with my pending i-175. The letter didn't say I should bring my spouse, he just decided to come. When I arrived at the interview I thought it was going to be brief, I prepared for the civic questions but I didn't bring much proof of bonafide relationship because I had no idea I will be doing a combo interview. The IO asked questions on both i-175 and N400. IO asked how we met? Where we got married? If my spouse had kids? Where we lived, previous addresses? How many kids do we have? She asked for proof of bonfire relationship but I didn't bring much just my bills showing our names on the address and tax return. So she asked more questions then wrote some questions down and asked questions on N400. When she was done with me which she said i passed my N400 but cant approve me because of my pending i -175.Also, they usually approve some people on the spot guess mine didn't work out that way. She called in my husband and I waited in the waiting room, when she was done she smiled and said we should be hearing from them between 45-90 days. I got approved on both i-175 and N400 8 days after. I received my 10 yrs green card in mail couple days after. I hope this helps if you feel you have delay with your case, try calling them. Also I feel the N400 kind of expedited my i-175.
Congratulations, I'm in Indianapolis too,I have pending i751, and I have N400 interview coming up in July I hope mine will be combo interviews too..
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
