Congratulations!

Congrats guys! We too have been waiting for removal of conditions since early
April 2002. Chris has his N-400 interview in two weeks at Newark and I
contacted VSC directly via registered mail as well as calling Senator
Lautenberg and sending him emails and a letter. I have yet to hear anything
from VSC or the Senator. Just hoping that they will do the removal of
conditions right then and there.

Would appreciate if you could post the list of documents you took with you
for the Naturalization interview. This may be a stupid question but I would
rather ask than regret later - did you take any photographs with you ( 3/4
view of face showing the right ear & left eye etc )? My interview is
scheduled for April 29th at Newark & I am putting together all the paper
work they have asked for.
Thanks in advance.

Today I went for my Nat interview in Newark. To address your concern,
I think they will most likely adjudicate both cases at the interview,
because during my interview, the officer mentioned that if I had not
received my I751 approval before then, he had to adjudicate it during
the interview.
The interview went smoothly. The officer did not ask too many
questions, except the usual things: where do you work, are you still
married to you US citizen wife.. etc. He did not ask for any of the
"prove of marriage" document. But he did not approve me at the end
because there is still one file missing and he is requesting it from
Nation service center, which caused me some concern. I had to wait
for my oath appointment in the mail.
I wish you best luck and let me know how it went.
