I was advised to file my N-400 even though my I-751 is pending approval. After completing the form I need to pay the $725 but will this slow the approval of my I-751?

The USCIS is taking up to 16 months to process N-400 petitions from start to finish.

 

Any thoughts on this matter you good people?

My wife filed her N400 in January with a pending ROC from December 2016.  Her N400 interview is scheduled for mid-April, so we did not see much of a delay.  If the ultimate goal is naturalization, why wait for the ROC since the N400 has its own processing clock, why not get that clock started.

 

Good Luck!

yeah you do that :) it makes the processing much faster. Apply online and it is even better !

If you are applying 90-60 days prior ( i've read on other threads that ppl who applied 90-60 days prior were getting their interview right before one month from the GC expiring date ) 

 

I've applied mine 32 days prior and did my BIO within 3 weeks now just waiting for my interview to be scheduled. GOODLUCK

Did you have to go for 2 interviews?  And did you go with your spouse?

We never received a formal notice for an I751 interview, but I went with my wife for the N400 interview, and the IO asked me to come back with her and conducted a short I751 interview prior to my wife’s N400 interview, so it all happened during one visit.
