My wife and I are in the exact same situation. We're going to see if we can get an InfoPass appointment regarding the whole thing and get some answers. My wife has the extension while we wait for the removal of conditions, but she wants to head home as we just found out she's pregnant. We filed at the VCS and it seems we still have a few more months to wait. Maybe the N-400 will help expedite things? I can update here after we've had our appointment.

Yes, please update us once you find something out.  My husband will file now so we don't have to wait another year.  Thanks!

USCIS Early Filing Calculator

 

The information in this part ONLY relates to your time as a permanent resident if you file under Section 319(a) and 316(a) of the INA.  All other eligibility requirements MUST be met at the time of filing.

 

You may file Form N-400 ninety (90) calendar days before you complete your permanent residence requirement if your eligibility for naturalization is based upon being a:

    Permanent resident for at least 5 years; or
    Permanent resident for at least 3 years if you are married to a US citizen.

I have a similar question: what if your case is about to be approved - it's just a matter of a few days, maybe some supervisor to look over it, etc. - when you file the N-400?  Does that "freeze" the approval of your ROC and you never get the 10-year card but instead they wait to approve at the same time as your naturalization interview (e.g. 7-8 months after they would have normally approved it)?  

 

We're trying to decide if maybe we should wait for the 10-year card instead of filing this week (when my wife is eligible) just to play it safe in terms of being able to renew driver's license, travel, etc.

 

Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

 

Nothing. I sent my N400 application on 3/22, NOA was dated 3/25 and Roc was approved on 3/28. I had my 10 yr card in hamd when I went for my N400 interview later in June.

Just a quick update guys: We got our approval letter for ROC yesterday! (yay!!) it was dated on the 10th... We were still preparing our N400 package (we were waiting on 2016 taxes)

 

The letter said we'd have to wait 60 days to get our green card. Does it really take that long?

Not really! Probably they will produce and mail it within next week and you'll get it in a few days after then. Congrats!
