#N400 and I 751 together
Hello I applied for citizenship because I have 3 years with my green card by marriage. I also I applied a year ago for the I751. Four days ago both of my cases moved to interview scheduled. I wonder if someone has the same experience and know how the interview is. Is it only the test or something else?

@Mike D my paperwork went to Texas office, but I am in SC

@king asar my file office is Texas. Yes I was surprise as well but no I did not expedite anything, I think maybe because the N400 application was online
Paty aMar 16, 2025
@Carlos adames mi entrevista es el martes, se supone que la primera parte de la entrevista es con mi esposo y es similar a la que ya tuvimos para mi primera green card, después sería yo sola para hacerme el examen

@S L my case is for marriage so if your case is the same you can file Form N-400 (Application for Naturalization) up to 90 days before completing the required 3-year period of continuous residence as a permanent resident. I did online, I submitted a picture of my cards and my extension letter for the I751, bank stament, taxes, lease. mu husband Birth certificate

@S L travel documents, marriage certificate. etc is very easy if you do it online the web site indicate what do you need to upload and also if you want to provide more price you can do it because there is a file for that

Hi all,
My case was approved, and I have my oath ceremony scheduled for the same day!
For those who have both the I-751 and N-400 cases together, my advice is to be prepared just like you would for the I-485 interview.
At the beginning of my interview, the officer was a little intimidating. He said I came to the U.S. illegally because my visa was a card. Once I explained why my visa was valid, he went back to my original tourist visa application and realized I was right.
He also asked my husband if we had thought about getting married while we were dating—trying to imply that I came here with that intention, which would be against the law. After that part, once he saw our pictures and evidence, he became more relaxed, and the interview went smoothly.
We brought all of our documents from the beginning of our case, plus the most recent travel records and tax returns. I also recommend taking your driver’s license and your original tourist visa with you. It helped a lot to have everything on hand when they had questions.
At the end, the civics test was really easy. To be honest, I don’t even remember the questions because I was so nervous!
