I filed form i-751 in November 2021, (WAC Receipt #) and it is still pending , No Biometrics it only shows (Case was received). I decided to file for N-400 under the 3-year rule this past November 2022. Naturalization interview is scheduled for February . My interview notice for the N-400 did not mention anything about my pending i-751, and whether this will be a combo interview. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

We interviewed in Dallas last month on 12/14/22.  My wife's N-400 interview letter didn't mention her I-751 either.  But, a few days before her interview, we received an email stating that it would be a combo interview.  I would prepare for both an I-751 and N-400 interview.

I was in the same boat as you. Had a pending I-751. Had a notice for the N-400 interview. Prepared for my interview just like if it was going to be a combo interview though which it was. Was approved on the spot for both cases and was naturalized less than 2 weeks later. Good luck!

We had a combo interview in Sacramento last May with just a n400 invitation. You will likely have a combo interview, not a 100% sure but more likely than not. 

Be prepared to do the i751 and n400 interviews together at the appointment, bring updated evidence and your spouse. 

 

Good luck.

Yes, me.

 

I brought everything for I-751 including my husband just in case but it was not a combo interview so my N400 approval was delayed by several months while I751 was being adjudicated. 

 

But in my case I moved around some so my I751 was stuck in another office.

 

I'd say if you haven't move since filing I751 - it's a very high chance that you'll get a combo interview so be ready for that scenario.
