Yes, as long as you meet criteria for filing. Pending I-751 is not a problem.

 

When you start N-400 online application, you are asked a few question to establish eligibility.

 

General N-400 requirements:

- You spent enough time in the US (physical presence) as LPR in the last 3 years (if want to apply based on marriage to US citizen) or in the last 5 years (if applying under general provision)

- If applying based on marriage, make sure you've been married to US citizen for 3 years and were LPR for 3 years.

- Make sure you never left the US for 6+ months on same trip, in the last 3 or years

- Make sure you always paid taxes and haven't had criminal charges in the last 3 or 5 years

Physical appearance: I exited Jan 2023 with USC to bring my 3 kids( K2 process) here in the states, stayed in Ph for 30days and traveled back in the States after 3 kids visa issued.
