I751/N400

Anyone had same or similar situation I’m trying my best to stop worrying but super nervous. I751 has been pending since march of 2021 N400 pending since march of 2022 Had my N400 interview on December 8th officer said he will request for my i751 file and I passed the civic exam .On may 14 I checked online and it said my I751 case has being transferred to another field office . I checked today now this“Appeal/Motion Was Dismissed Your appeal/motion was dismissed”.Your case remains denied. On April 18, 2023, we sent you a notice about this action. please contact the appellate authority directly. I’m freaking out crying and scared. I never applied for no appeal/motion just the regular i751 that has been pending. checked my N400 it says We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review.Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled We placed you in line for your oath ceremony and will send you a notice for Receipt Number IOE9314338101, with the date, time, and location of your oath ceremony. Is the i751 status update a mistake? And why my N400 would say in line for Oath ceremony ? Called CIS asked about i751 they said they would have a tier2 contact me and for the N400 they said i751 got a be approved first
