Perhaps it's time to create a new N400 thread so separate the two streams?

 

I think the two are now correlated with one another, for future cases, (which is inevitable due to the increased I751 processing time) it might be ideal to have a forum topic that covers individuals who have filled I751 and N400 a year later.

I'm in the same boat as you guys, and I found some info I wanted to share:

https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume12-PartG-Chapter5.html#footnotelink-6

It says: 

"An application for naturalization may not be approved if there is a pending petition for removal of conditions. If an applicant’s petition to remove conditions is pending at the time of filing or is filed prior to the interview, USCIS will adjudicate the petition to remove conditions prior to or concurrently with the adjudication of the naturalization application. ^[6] "

"[6]An officer should conduct the naturalization examination even if the petition to remove conditions is not in the CPR spouse’s A-file. The officer should follow internal procedures to request the petition. The officer must not approve the CPR spouse’s naturalization application until the officer has reviewed and approved the petition to remove conditions."

CPR is Conditional Permanent Resident; I'm taking this as: If you have an interview, then they have to approve your I751 first then they can approve your N400. What do you guys think? What do they mean by CPR spouse's A-file?
