I751/N400 combo Interview . How long does it take to receive a file from one office to another ?
I751 has been pending since march 2021. On April 2022 submitted N400 application . Interview for N400 was scheduled for 12/05/2022 nothing was said about my pending I751. A week before the interview I received an email about a combo interview for I751/N400 and it also said to bring my wife. When officer came out he said your wife can’t come in because I haven’t received your file for i751 so I’m just gonna do the N400 interview. I was so disappointed. Officer went on with the N400 interview. He didn’t want to see any of the joint docs and pictures I had. He only asked our child birth certificate, last time I traveled out of the US, my wife US passport, marriage certificate, and my green card made copies, and said he’s going to request my file but can’t make a decision today .But he gave me a paper and highlighted that I passed the civic test and that I would me notified of a decision by mail, and I won’t get an interview for I751 ,Just wait for it to be approved and they can schedule ceremony. He stated maybe by next week he’ll get the missing files. Should I be worried ? I’m so anxious because I have no idea how long this will take
I still haven’t heard anything after officer said I would take 2 weeks for them to transfer the I751 file to him . #I751 #N400

I had a very similar experience. My n400 interview was last week and my partner came with me to the interview since I have a pending i751 application too. The IO did not want to speak to my partner and only asked for me to go with them for the interview. They started with my civics and reading and writing test, which I all passed. Then they started going through my N400 application, and in the middle of it asked a few questions about my relationship with my partner - where we met, how long we've been together, where we live, and a few more Qs. Then they went over the 'have you ever' questions, and then at the end, they handed me the paper that says I passed my civics, but that a decision could not be made about my case. They said a decision will come in the mail for both applications, and when I asked if they wanted to speak with my partner, the IO said no. Which maybe leads me to think that they didn't have the i751 case there? I was told to wait 120 days or less....and now i'm just here waiting and anxiously checking the mail. No clue how this will pan out...very frustrating and a bit up in the air... #n400 #citizenshipinterview #i751

I am also in the same boat . I had interview on dec 5 and officer verbally told me as soon they will receive my i751 file they will approve it and guess what my status is still same and even my i751 case has not been transferred to local office .
my field office is chicago and what’s yours ?

Im on same situation. Right now my I-751 status shows that my case was transferred and new office has jurisdiction. Officer told me as soon as he receive my I-751 file he will approve it and I just have to wait in the mail either 10yr GC or Oath Ceremony Schedule. It’s been a week now since my interview. N-400 still shows as “Interview Scheduled”

nothing new on my side. Very frustrating situation. At least you verbally got told that they need to wait for your i751 to be processed. My IO didn't tell me anything except that a decision will come in the mail within 120 days. I'm thinking I didn't get a pass on the citizenship that day because of my pending i751 application.. my online status also just says 'interview scheduled' for my N400 application. My i751 status still says that my case was moved to another office to be processed. This was in Dec 2022.

Just responding to this again, i checked my status online (it’s been a week after my interview) and my I-751 status change to “new card being produced” and N-400
To Oath Ceremony will be scheduled” had my combo interview last 01/05. 01/06 status change to Case was transferred and New office has jurisdiction” my field office is in Charleston.
