My window is opened to put in my N 400, but I heard an information that it’s advisable to wait for my I 751 to be over with first because if N 400 is filed now according to the info, USCIS won’t send the 10yrs card anymore, they will want to wait for Neutralization interview and the both cases would be adjudicated at the interview because N 400 won’t be approved unless I 751 is approved first. Yea in view of this, I had to hold on to be done with I 751 before submitting my N 400. Can’t wait to see all these processes over!

Can anyone confirm if this is true? Should we wait to file n400 until after i751 is approved and 10 yr green card is issued? Our window opens in a couple weeks. We submitted our RFE last week.

Well it happed to a friend’s wife, she put in her N 400 because I 751 was taking a little longer. She never got the approval until she was invited for neutralization interview. After the interview the officer told her, she was good for approval, but that won’t be possible until I 751 is approved first. So same day she was led with her husband to another office where she with her husband was interview briefly by another IO. She it was 2 to 3 questions, she was approved on the spot, then taken back to the N 400 office she got approved for the  N 400 same day. Till she was sworn and got the citizenship, the 10yrs green card never came, and till this minute, they didn’t send it to her, but the good news is that she has US Passport now. Like I said this is a scenario I witnessed, but again you don’t have to believe it, you might call USCIS for a better concrete information. Thanks

USCIS won’t issue Green Cards if both I-751 and N-400 are approved at the same time. There is no point sending you the card as you have to return it at the oath ceremony.

Sorry to hear read about your relationship issues. Have you tried counselling? Maybe a priest or pastor who is trained in this sort of thing?

Thankfully it’s nothing dramatic or hostile, we’re just kind of realizing we got married young before we really knew who we were and aren’t sure if we are the best for each other. But things may work themselves out, I’m not sure yet.

For the people that already got the card. How long did it take from you receive the approval notice in the mail to receive the new card in the mail?
