Horrible N-400 interview with I-751 pending
Today I went to my N-400 interview at Baltimore FO with a pending I-751. First, officer asked if I came alone and said yes because my wife went to the wedding for her cousin. He said but you have a pending I-751 so you should have brought her. I said it didn’t say in the official interview letter so didn’t think she must have been here. Anyway moving to interview room and he started asking questions about our marriage dive deep questions. For example, he asked we have been married for 4 years and why we don’t have kids why we don’t have house together. Why I contribute the most as financial in the joint account. He even said he didn’t believe this marriage is bona-fide. I said I can show tax returns, 401-k beneficiaries, insurance policies etc. He said those are things you can do and remove tomorrow (shocking). While he was asking questions about marriage, all of a sudden he started civics test and asked 6 questions and I passed. However, he didn’t even say that I passed congrats etc. He did his best to not believe me. Anyway, he interviewed me for an hour and said he will review again and can’t make a decision today. Obviously never seen any posts from anyone experience similar to this. I think odds of approval is pretty low but what can be the worst scenario? Anyone had similar experience and what happened ? #n400 #I-751

@S D maybe you might get an RFE for proof of your bonafine marriage. Not trying to be rude or anything but , your spouse should of been there mandatory. Lots of post show that ppl always go with there spouse ( big plus ) it helps the approval .. hopefully it works out.. fingers crossed ... BALTIMORE FIELD OFFICE IS ALREADY THE WORST OFFICE TO DEAL WITH

I hope you get approved soon but generally speaking and not trying to be rude, if you have a pending I-751 you need to bring your partner with since they do combine interview.
I hope for your sake they just ask for more evidence
good luck

sounds like you had “one of those agents”. sorry for your experience. Just take your wife for your second interview m and hopefully you’ll get a different agent.

I hope you get approved soon. I don’t want to be rude but for I-751 your wife should’ve been there just in case. Anyways it’s a complication and things will be fine.

@Dreamer 2024 unbelievable. I am not sure what to say but I have a feeling that even if my spouse was with me he was gonna do his thing and not believe us. What happened to your status after interview ?

I'm sorry to hear that. I had my interview yesterday and my experience was very different. The officer asked me if my wife was present because they were going to do the N-400 & I-751 combo. I told him she was outside with my daughter in the car, and if he wanted, i could call her to come in. He said it wasn't necessary. The interview lasted a maximum of 15 minutes and I was approved immediately. I hope they give you a resolution soon. Good luck.

S DApr 23, 2024
@$$ ,, when you say similar did you go by yourself and have I-751 pending when applied for N-400 ? Aren’t they supposed to decide on N-400 in 120 days
S DApr 23, 2024
@$$ ,, also are you still married or were you still married during interview?
