Sorry for the long title.... I have a I-751 case still waiting to be approved and at the same time I have a N-400 case... When I spoke to an immigration officer, I was told that they would not touch my N-400 case until the I-751 had been approved...

Obviously they cannot approve the N-400 without the I-751 being completed... but is it correct that they wouldn't even touch the application (by the way, I still haven't received a biometrics appointment for my N-400)...

Thanks to anyone who can provide information...

Not necessarily. Your N400 application will force the adjudication of the I751. Mine was approved with my N400. See my timeline for details. You can PM if you want.

Talked to my attorney on this, wife has to be a permanent resident for three years and we could send in the N-400 up to 90 days before that date. Sent in a copy of her expired green card and one year extension notice. It was accepted by Nebraska, and the finger printing appointment came in shorty after. She got in her new green card about a month later, copied that and sent that in as well, back to the people that sent her that new green card.

Can only imagine the conversation at Nebraska, hey, NickD's wife sent in her application for citizenship, do you think we should send her, her new green card? Well maybe, but not today, let's wait another month, don't want to rush these things.

Could well be by sending in the N-400 with the expired green card and one year extension notice, that woke them up.
