After 23 months of wait, finally getting my green card. No interview. I'll be starting N400 application end of next year but at least having a physical card in hand makes the N400 wait tolerable.

At this point, I'm giving up ever seeing a 10yr GC. I filed with a divorce waiver and Sept next year I would be able to file my N400 since it'll be 4 yrs and 9 mo since I first received my conditional GC. I had an attorney for the case and was advised to just wait and apply for N400 when time comes. 

I am in the same situation. Can I apply to N400 with a pending i751 (and waiver)? or I have to wait until the interview?

You can apply for citizenship while your I-751 is pending, just find out when you're eligible to do so and file away. It is extremely common now to have both processes run in parallel.

Thanks, Jackie! I was asking it because my i751 (Sept 2021) is still pending and I submitted it with a divorce waiver. So I am expecting an interview but maybe I can start filing my N400.

From my prior meeting with my attorney I will be filing for N400 next year if my I751 is still pending (I also apply my I751 with a divorce waiver). I believe from my convo with my lawyer, i needed 5 years from I first get my conditional green card before i can file N400. I will still be applying next year for my N400 but this time with my 10 yrs GC in hand. There's a big chance you'll get your 10yrs GC soon. Mine is in Nebraska Center (LIN) and they approved mine without an interview (approx. 23mo). Good luck in your journey.

Interview finally scheduled after nearly 2 years but applying for citizenship in May really help my case start moving 

That's wonderful! Applying for citizenship did move my husband's case along, too. Best of luck to you, and be prepared for a combo interview!
