I-751/N-400 combo filers in Chicago

[egroeg 66]

This is a question for the I-751/N-400 combo filers from Chicago, it seems like in Chicago there isn't a combo interview for your I-751 and N-400. From the looks of it or at least from reading 2-3 online experiences, it seems like you first have a N-400 interview, then an I-751 joint interview followed by another N-400 where you are finally approved . This seems to be causing significant delays as opposed to waiting out for the I-751 approval and then applying for the N-400.Perhaps I am getting the timelines wrong, but can anyone from Chicago who applied for their N-400 while their I-751 was pending share their experiences ?

Bump. 

 

 

I'm contemplating waiting for my i751 to approve before applying for my N400 depending on people's experiences. Any advice?

I am a November 2017 filer myself. Considering how the Chicago office is when it comes to combo interviews, I would say wait until you get your GC. Right now they are approving Feb/March/April filers , which means that it will take ~6 months before they look at our cases.
