@Kim A - no my spouse was not asked to be in the interview. as a matter of fact they completely lost track of the I-751 case and were not prepared so asked just one question if own a property and then moved to the civic test under N-400. @J J - my tip is: be prepared for everything, have all proofs, and remember that there is only one truth.

why did your i751 took that long? did you go with lawyer?
l
leo cleoDec 15, 2021
Hi Kim. no lawyer. my guess is that they dropped the ball on the i-751 despite multiple inquiries on my end and just realized that if there is already n-400 pending the delay on their end will be immaterial if the n-400 approved

J JDec 15, 2021
this is normal time now I guess. my case is with NBC and I am waiting from 18 months for my i751

Congrats Leo Cleo. I will be submitting my N400 sometime in January. Do you think is best to submit online? and also what are the supporting documents you submitted when applying for N400? NB: 3 years marriage rule
kim ADec 15, 2021
@ J J they transferred my case from Vermont to NBC and my case is ready to be scheduled for an interview( July 2021 filer )
J
J JDec 15, 2021
@ Kim a mine is other way around. it went to NBC straight and I am waiting for them to transfer it to my local field office so that they can give me an interview date.
kim ADec 15, 2021

J JDec 15, 2021

Newark NJ for my n400 and Vermont originally for my i751 before it got transferred to NBC. tier 2 officer I spoke to said I'd be getting a combo interview whenever my field office had space
