We had then N400 Interview on Monday at the Hartford CT field office. We applied for naturalization based on the 3-year marriage rule. We also have a pending I-751 (that we applied for ~18 months ago). We went prepared for a combo interview. The officer did not take me (the US citizen spouse) back, only my husband. He did not do a combo interview and did not want to see any evidence (updated taxes, original copies of evidence, etc). He asked my husband where he worked, 6 civics questions, made him read a sentence and write a sentence, and the yes/no questions from the N400 form. He told my husband that he passed but because he had a pending 751, he could not approve N400 on the spot. He would have to approve 751 first in the computer before officially approving N400, but told him it would be fine and "felicidades" and that it would be official within the week. We were in the building for a total of 45 minutes. Today, the N400 status changed to approved and then The status for 751 still hasn't changed online but our Naturalization was approved. Hoping to go next month for the oath ceremony. Obviously, I still highly recommend preparing for a combo interview (if you have a pending 751) and brining all the evidence with you just in case. We had a whole stack of documents but he did not look at any. Good luck everyone!

I filed N400 in March and my interview is in 10 days (So 5 months from applying on line and have the interview at the local field office). The process seems waaaay faster than I751 (still no movement on that case). Good luck!

Wow, what!? I thought the naturalization would just supersede the i-751. I hope that you have a swift resolution. We have our N400 interview coming up in 3 weeks, but no news yet on the i-751, so probably the same situation as you. Will let you know how it goes for us!

We got our interview scheduled notice yesterday --> August 22 at the Hartford, CT field office! So for us it was 5 months from application to interview. The estimated time online was 13 months. We also have a pending i-751 (applied May 2021) and the status of that has not changed.

We applied for N-400 in March 2022 (3 year marriage rule). We found out yesterday the N-400 interview is scheduled for next month. No word/change to the status of i-751 so looks like we are just moving on to naturalization - but of course we will prepare for both just to be sure. Good luck everyone!
