I-751 and n-400 finally got Citizenship!!
After being a green card holder for 3 years, I finally got a citizenship after filing n-400 for 90 days! They reused my biometric from the green card, bring my husband to the interview for I-751 and also got n-400 interview right after (husband was sitting there with me throughout the interview). The officer is very friendly, we answered some dates wrong but she didn’t make it an issue. She gave the oath ceremony appointment paper right after interview. I came back to the oath ceremony 3 days later and that’s it!!
ps. I’m in NYC. If you got an early appointment like 8:30am you should go very early because there’s a long line to get in. I walked up to the security and asked them if I could get in first because I gonna be late and they let ppl with early appointment got in first which was nice of them.
Good luck. If you’ve prepared, you will pass the interview very smoothly 😊

@Gaurav Kaul Applied March 2024! I got the notice extension documents to travel outside of the US within 2 weeks (the document valid 48 months). But the I-751 had no progress at all until I applied for the N-400
