Hello everyone! 
We are  getting ready for the next  step of our lives, Naturalization. 
But we are confused with the process. Are we suppose to remove the condition of the 2 year greencard condition? first submit the papers then while pending we can go ahead and file for naturalization? Or we can go straight to the Naturalization?  I’ve researched about it and I’m getting split answers.

 

p.s I’m married for 3 years now with my husband.

A LOT of people are in this situation.  You must, first, file to remove conditions on a 2 year green card.  When you become eligible, you can then file for naturalization (even if the I-751 hasn't been adjudicated). 

It would help if you filled in your VJ timeline.

My wife's N-400 is ready to submit.  We are going to submit it tomorrow. We have been waiting for an I-751 interview since March 2019......

Lawyers these days don’t recommend submitting n400 (Naturalization) until your i751 is approved. One reason being if the couple divorces, the person becomes ineligible for 3 years rule, hence denial of n400 along with the app and lawyer fee. Secondly, it may add to the delay (not a 100% on this)

 

 

What a ridiculous reason to wait.  We filed my wife's I-751 in March of 2019.  We are still waiting for an interview...... Do you honestly think we are going to keep waiting???????  We are submitting the N-400 TOMMORROW!!!

Good luck! One  more question does my daughter need a separate form I-750 or listing her in my own form as dependent is good enough?
