I had an interview for both the I-751 & N-400 at the same time. When we were called in, we were both sworn in. I noticed that my complete file was on the table, and immediately knew that this will be a double interview, and I felt a sense of relief. Everything went smoothly, and the time we spent with the officer was about 45 min. She approved the I-751 first, and we went on to the N-400. I answered 6 questions in total , gave her 3 years of tax transcripts and some pictures. She said I was approved, congratulated me, and said my oath ceremony will be in June, and that I need to wait for the official letter. I am happy this is over and done with. For you still waiting, your time will come. Thank you Visa Journey, without all the information I got from this forum, I would not have been able to have done this on my own. I saved a lot by doing this by myself, not a cent was paid to any lawyer.
My oath ceremony was done in Houston. It should have been in Beaumont TX, but I'm not complaining.They do about 15 to 30 people at a time. It is very informal. My husband was not allowed in. No-one, but the candidates are allowed inside. They are very strict on the social distancing.
I have already registered to vote in my hometown and I have applied for my American Passport.

*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.
