I intend to file 3 years by marriage N400.

1. Still married but dealing with a very controlling and jealous spouse who is threatened by how much progress I will make by becoming a USC. I dealt 3 years with financial irresponsibility on his part such that we dont file taxes together. He always go ahead to file and takes that to travel round the world leaving kids and all responsibilities with mama.

2.Can I go ahead and get my citizenship out of the way? I became due last month but still contemplating. Take note I dont have access to his original naturalization certificate but have a copy to send.

3.Should I just wait for the 5 year rule?

He is unwilling to cooperate on this one.

Need advice.

Thanks all.

My I-751 is still pending. Is it better to wait to apply for N-400 or just do it already?

I see some of you waited the ROC approval. Why?

Also, I moved from the West Coast to the Midwest and changed my address with USCIS, but my I-751 is still being processed in California. If I apply for N-400 now, what are the chances of my I-751 being transferred? 

Also, how do we request the combo interview? 

It's up to you. Some people prefer to wait others don't. Depending on where you are in your ROC it may delay or speed things up. The ROC needs to be done before they can fully approve the N400. If you are "stuck" in the ROC process, filing the N400 may get the file moving again (from an office where it has been collecting dust to an office that works on your N-400). But it is also possible that they are ready to hammer out your ROC and the N-400 application forces them to move it to your local office. If your local office is not fast you are looking at delays.

 

I filed it because I haven't heard anything from them in over 60 days after my ROC interview. My case status history tab only shows "received application" on one site and "received RFE documents" on the other side. As it appeared that they had lost half my file somewhere between Vermont and Texas, and than lost some more stuff between Texas and Norfolk, I figured I might as well file the N-400 to see if I can get things moving again.

Technically if you are still married to him and are eligible to apply you can. You gonna need  copy  of his birth certificate/ naturalization certificate and front  info  of his passport . divorce document if he was married before.
