Steps:

 

1. Wait

2. File the N400 for citizenship "around" February next year if that is your path.

3. Wait

When you become eligible, you can file your N-400 if you want...

Keep in mind that filing for citizenship might further delay your ROC unfortunately.

"Might"

 

We just don't really know one way or the other.  What it does do is get your citizenship process started, and that is the next step.

Well, you can know actually. If your ROC was not on the interview path because you already had an interview in the US and your local office is slow, then applying for citizenship will definitely slow things down. Just read some horror stories from the Seattle office where people waited 3 years (!) for their ROC and citizenship. Look at this comment for example:

Great list everyone should look at before filing for citizenship while ROC is pending!

You don't need the card to file.   You file based on the 3 or 5 year rule.
