Applied for lifting conditions December 2021.  No news except statement from USCIS on accepted biometrics from OOS back in April 2022z Applied online for N400 on December 13th. Got note, dated December 13th that biometrics was accepted. Got another note on I-751 on December 23rd that my lifting conditions case being transferred.. Why? Are these two events somehow connected? Does it mean that removal of conditions will take longer due to case transfer from the California?

In many cases, when you file the N-400 while having a pending i-751, your i-751 gets transferred to NBC. NBC is the service center that prepares cases for interview.

 

Far from everyone who has a stand-alone i-751 gets an interview, many get approved just fine without one (me included). But once you file the N-400 it triggers something in the system and your i-751 is now considered to be a part of what is commonly called a "combo interview".

 

That means, since your N-400 requires an interview, you will now also have an interview for the i-751, they will be processed together at your local field office once your N-400 is ready (ie, once NBC has done all the pre-processing like background checks etc, and your field office is ready to take it on).

Congratulations.  
 

Filing N-400 will apparently cause your I-751 case to be adjudicated by your field office and speed it up.  Hopefully you get a combo interview.

Should add that it could go either way, it doesn't necessarily speed things up. If you have a case where you don't need an interview (many of us who had an AOS interview got our ROC approved without interview), then the case could be approved fairly fast at the designated service center. There's unfortunately no way to really know how long that takes. If your case is just about to get picked up and adjudicated, but you file the N-400 just before that, it's possible your i-751 gets sent to NBC for preparation for a combo interview instead of being adjudicated soon at the service center it's already at. So it COULD make things slower too, especially if your field office is slow. But like I said, impossible to know when your case will be picked up and processed, ROC can take forever. For me it was approved just a few days before I got eligible to file my N-400.
