Right. But it is their process to adjudicate together. They dont make you wait for ROC they pull it and send both cases together. This is how it was explained to us by USCIS that it would happen and this is the reality of how it happened.

"Technically" in their system they have to go in and approve the ROC in order to complete the N400. But it's not an issue because when you do the n400 uscis pulls the ROC case from the service center and sends it together with the n400 to the local office and the two are decided together. Occasionally a disorganized office may not recognize they are doing 2 cases together and you might get 2 interviews...but usually when you go for n400 they do both the same day. Our officer had both cases but when she went to update then as approved she realized they didnt give her update permissions for the ROC so she said that she couldnt update the N400 and schedule the oath until the system closed out the ROC as approved. She said that she was requesting permissions would be resolved in a few days....and it was.

This is incorrect. We were even advised by a uscis officer that we don't need to wait. Husband was just naturalized and never even receivec the 10 year GC.
 

Yes it happens to everyone from what I was lead to believe... thats why I shared my review to prepare others for this issue the only good news is soon you should be getting a date but i understand how mad it makes you feel when you are waiting to book a ticket and try to prepare for travel. the wait is hardest when stuff like this happens so close to being done. Wishing you the best and hoping this will be over soon for you.
