Perfectly normal. When a person goes for an N-400 interview while also having a i-751 still pending, either of these scenarios can happen:
 
-A combo interview, ie both the N-400 AND the i-751 petition are present on the IOs desk and both are being processed together. This scenario is what most people with a pending i-751 hope for, that's why you see some members on here trying to get a combo interview by asking USCIS for one before being called for an interview. 
 
-An N-400 interview ONLY, this means the IO hasn't received the i-751 file yet but agrees to continue with the N-400 interview anyway. This means the person will be interviewed as usual and if passing the tests, will be approved once the i-751 file has been located and approved. No more interviews needed.
 
-No interview, the IO sends the applicant home again without interviewing him/her. The interview will be rescheduled once the i-751 has been located and it will then be a combo interview. This is the least desirable scenario as it can delay your case a lot. Luckily this doesn't seem as common anymore, most IOs know now that they can actually go through with the N-400 interview despite not having received the i-751 yet. 
 
 
The different parts of USCIS don't like to communicate with each other, so it's fairly common that an N-400 interview is scheduled while the pending i-751 is still stuck at a record center or at NBC. 
 

Yep.  USCIS has a lot of discretion now.  His I-751 interview will, almost certainly, be waived.

Hmm maybe that's why the interviewer specifically said my husband wouldn't need to come back for another one; just in case the i-751 prompted it.

Completely normal.  The ROC must be approved prior to the N-400 approval.  I, too, think the file should have been there.  The rest should just be a formality now.  Congratulations.  I hope to have good news concerning my wife's citizenship interview in exactly one month.

If it makes you feel better I am slightly an idiot. I just found the 24 month extension that we definitely did get but must have gotten caught in the maelstrom of the last year. USPS Informed Delivery + never deleting email is actually really useful. Once I confirmed we got some sort of notice from USCIS in October I knew it had to be somewhere and there was a limited number of places I'd have shoved it  

So That worry is over. Now it's just waiting until July to start the Naturalization Process

See the USCIS page on Form I-751 and open “Special Instructions” near the bottom.

Make sure you cover dates from the marriage to present with your evidence. For example several auto insurance statements going back two years, not just the most recent. Same for bank statements, old ones and the latest. Photocopies of driver licenses showing same address are good and easy to do. 

@NearEthereal, your evidence looks really good. I would just make sure that your evidence starts since the date of your marriage, as the I-751 instructions state. Thus, they want to see all statements for joint accounts, insurance, etc. It would not hurt to include wills or advance health directives https://www.aarp.org/caregiving/financial-legal/free-printable-advance-directives/
 
This is the form you would fill out to get text notifications. https://www.uscis.gov/g-1145
 
The second post on this thread has a very useful example of a Table of Contents. I used it to model our AOS and Removal of Conditions submission.

I must now go and sob and actually have a full nights sleep.

I didn't bring the entire petition and my guy was hardly interested in anything I brought; honestly I feel like he was just humoring us by looking at our trip itineraries and pictures, but I would at least take a copy of the affidavit. 

It went well and was very easy; if you're legitimate, can explain yourself well and have all of your documentation I feel like you have nothing to worry about. If I'm honest, the interviewee we had spent as much time with us complaining about the end of Game of Thrones as he did asking us questions before he gave us his verbal approval ("I'm putting in my recommendation for approval".)
He looked at all of my documents and pictures, but didn't take any. He had all of our K-1 and AoS stuff there and I feel like he pretty much had his mind made up before we got there.

Today, we had our interview in the Philly office at 9AM. We got there around 8:15 because we don't really know how to properly time things. Got in, they took my husband's interview letter, his passport, and my passport and sent us through the metal detector (Full airport, shoes off).
We were sent to the 2nd floor where we were told to sit in front of door number 1 and wait. Our interview time came and went and we were getting antsy because a full hour went by before we were called in. We had a bearded man for our interview who casually told us what happened and why we had to wait so long,. I offered him my binder, and he said he'd take a look and actually gave me back a letter that Steve had written to me that was in our K-1 application. 
We just had a normal conversation with him, and he asked us the date of our marriage twice through it which we answered the same both times. We told him some silly stories about our relationship and at the end he said that he was putting the case through for Approval and that we'd get the green card in the mail in around 2 weeks.

So yay!
 
That was honestly the easiest part; I've heard horror stories about Philly, but it went fine!

Good luck to you too!!
I called and had chase do it then asked them to mail a confirmation 

3 days out from the Interview (We were Feb 28th Filers so I'm posting here because close enough) Nervous as hell. I've been reading absolute horror stories from the Philly field office and I'm scared to death that we're going to get someone crotchety. I have a 60 page binder with all the documentation + proof (Lease, Spouse/Dependent on Health Insurance (Medical, RX, Dental, Vision), Beneficiary on Life Insurance, Beneficiary on 403B (Like a 401k for non profits), Joint name on Renter's Insurance, Authorized user on a credit card, pics with family and proof of past and upcoming vacations via itineraries).

The big thing I'm afraid of is that we did a Self Uniting/Quaker marraige, which basically means we went into a court room in jeans, signed a form, brought the form to my mom and my aunt, had them sign the form while we stated our legal intent to marry then brought the form back and had it certified. No ceremony, no pictures. We did include an invoice for a venue for the ceremony we plan to have in 2020 which is the soonest we can reasonably expect all of our relatives from around the world to get together in one place...
 
Am I worrying for no reason?

ORRRR
We'll just randomly get a SS card, EAD and AP NOA2 in the mail saying our card is on its way while the website still says Case has been Received.
