I am still pending too, although I am a N-400 filer as well.

Nevertheless, I have contacted my Senator´s office in San Francisco for my I-751 case

How long did it take to get a response from your Senator?

I got pretty lucky - I got a response to my first letter in about a week, and then they responded to my followup request (when the 60 days were up) in one business day, and I got the call from USCIS the day after that.

I should mention, though, that I sent letters to my congressperson and both senators and received no response at all from the other two.

Maybe I should contact my senator and congressperson?  

 

Otherwise, there is a good chance that I'll need to go to the Seattle office to get another extension stamp in July!

Thanks for the info.

Hopefully, I´m lucky enough to get a soon response from this Senator.

They already have a specific immigration person, and I had to fill out a form before sending the letter.

I will keep you posted

If you haven't got specific information that USCIS has combined your I-751 with your N-400, I'd definitely get your representatives involved. If you've been officially notified that your files are combined, then there's probably not much they can do.

According to USCIS Case Status Online, my I-751 is at my local office and my N-400 is in line for an interview.  I have a feeling that USCIS has combined my I-751 and N-400 applications, but I haven't received any official letter from USCIS or the Seattle office.  

 

I'm thinking if I should contact my congressperson and senators.  I heard that it might delay your case since USCIS has to pull out your case in order to reply to a request from a congressperson/senator.   I just don't want any more delays so I'm thinking about pros and cons of doing it. 

 

Well, there is a good chance it won't make any difference, of course!

I think that the story about delays is a story a lazy lawyer might tell. Once they’ve pulled your case they have to look at it.

I'm in the same situation you are. I'm also waiting on ROC since mid Sept 2016 and N-400 since Mid Sept 2017, also at the Seattle office. I also have the feeling that ROC and N-400 are combined. No word if that is the case yet thou. Good Luck and hope you hear something soon.

I don't mind waiting since I'm already in the US and can work and travel.  

 

But...I'd like to vote in Nov and I don't like to go back to the Seattle office for another extension stamp in my passport in July!

Well, it sounds like I'm not the only one who is still waiting!

Yep. And whatever you do, with the new processing times on USCIS website, do not, I repeat, do not look at the I-751 processing times for local office since ours more than likely be combined with N-400.

Wait. Did they go backwards again? it says they're working on I751 from August 31 2016 ?!

Sad, everyone has moved on with their lives and I'm here checking my both case status's 1M times a day

You are not alone. But I know the feeling 70% of Sept 2016 filers are off doing their own things now they have their approvals, and there still a few of us who are still waiting and/or who still reply to others questions. I check mine that often too. 

Oh wait.. 3 mins have been and gone since I last checked both websites, I better check again in case I missed an update.. LOL
