If the form is not letting you fill something in you need to take a closer look to see if that particular block or question needs to be addressed at all. The I-751 PDF is a smart form that lets you type in a block or space of the form based on your answers to previous questions.

 

It still won't let me. For example I click YES my physical address is different than my mailing address, yet the physical address space still won't let me type in.

 

Do you think it's ok to just write it in then?

Yes.  You can write it in.

I just tried it and had the same issue. You'll have to write it in.

Mailed our packet on 09/03/2021! Fingers crossed for everyone submitting their I-751 ! Today received a message from USCIS regarding file/receipt number . Checked email , Got one email from USCIS  telling me that case is accepted and transferred to Nebraska Official I 797 notice to follow in mail .Looks everything going good. Hopefully will get letter of extension also .  My data went too big , so I sent two files naming file- A and file - B .

Received I 797 NOA with 24 months extension today

Will be filing our I-751 in a few days....what is the final thought on filling in the I-751.  Leaving BLANKS on items that don't apply, or Putting N/A in all the non-applicable spaces?   What is the consensus on this. I've seen posts that say both.

I will say N A rather than leaving blank, they may send back your packet if no NA in place of blanks. I put N A  and got my I 797 NOA with 24 months extension today.

Received text notification SRC# assigned to Texas Service Center (for now). It seems SRC has the best processing times. So our case will probably get transferred)))). Hoping to avoid the interview as my wife had one for AOS.

Leave them blank. When we did our AOS, we used an attorney and she left everything not applicable blank. So we did the same when we filled the I-751 form ourselves (without attorney).

Another vote for leaving them blank. More due to laziness than anything else. We have never had a problem leaving things blank. But, I understand. It drives some people crazy to leave something blank)))

Received our NOA today in the mail and our case has been sent to the Potomac Service Center.

You are correct.  Looking at Google spreadsheet, SRC is one of the fastest center.  Since you did not get MSC, you may be a good candidate for interview waiver:

 

For example, the speakers confirmed that I-751 receipt numbers with the prefix MSC are routed for interview scheduling; receipt numbers that do not contain the MSC prefix (e.g., EAC, VSC, LIN, etc.) are routed to the appropriate service center for an interview waiver determination. The speakers also clarified that, if the jointly filed I-751 petition is pending at the time of the N-400 interview, an applicant should bring his or her petitioning spouse to the naturalization interview.

Hello,

 

Is it OK to print documents on both sides of paper (double sided)? Also for evidence such as joint bank statements, do we need to print for the entire past 2 years? That will be alot of sheets lol. I’m really wondering what type of file or folder everyone used, please share!

Quarterly bank statements would suffice.. 
Everything should be printed single sided.

Ok thanks. Did you print all pages for those selected months or just the account summary/first page?

All the advice I've read says to print all pages, including blank ones. They really want to see the transactions. I paper clipped sections together and labeled each section with a tab at the bottom. I bound the whole thing with an ACCO clip, which meant punching two holes at the top of each page. This is all in accordance with what USCIS prefers.  https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/form-filing-tips
