Filing N-400 with my i-751 pending

[Manc73 34]

I was advised to file my N-400 even though my I-751 is pending approval. After completing the form I need to pay the $725 but will this slow the approval of my I-751?

The USCIS is taking up to 16 months to process N-400 petitions from start to finish.

 

Any thoughts on this matter you good people?

My wife filed her N400 in January with a pending ROC from December 2016.  Her N400 interview is scheduled for mid-April, so we did not see much of a delay.  If the ultimate goal is naturalization, why wait for the ROC since the N400 has its own processing clock, why not get that clock started.

 

Good Luck!

yeah you do that  it makes the processing much faster. Apply online and it is even better !

If you are applying 90-60 days prior ( i've read on other threads that ppl who applied 90-60 days prior were getting their interview right before one month from the GC expiring date ) 

 

I've applied mine 32 days prior and did my BIO within 3 weeks now just waiting for my interview to be scheduled. GOODLUCK

Did you have to go for 2 interviews?  And did you go with your spouse?

We never received a formal notice for an I751 interview, but I went with my wife for the N400 interview, and the IO asked me to come back with her and conducted a short I751 interview prior to my wife’s N400 interview, so it all happened during one visit.
