It used to follow that one forced adjudication of the other, but if the I751 doesn't have any movement prior to the interview, be prepared for them to say they cannot make a decision yet.

YMMV

If the interview is for adjudication of the I-751, then yes, she needs to be there as that was a joint application.

Unlikely. I have seen more cases like the ones I described in post #18 on VJ over the last month.

It seems the process may have silently changed.

For context I arrived in the US in December 2015 on a K1. I filed AOS in January 2016 and received conditional permanent residency in April 2016. In January 2018 I filed I-751 to remove conditions, and this is still pending.

As USCIS allow you to file and pay for the N-400 online I decided to go that route. It was really easy putting it all together online as it takes you through the forms step by step and you can save your progress and come back to it at anytime, and before you start it asks some questions to make sure you are eligible to apply. It also has separate areas to upload each time of evidence required. Since it was online I don't have a checklist as such of what was included, but it asks for certain proof one by one (Spouses citizenship if using that as basis for application, applicants green card, tax returns etc), then for any explanations and supporting evidence for deviations (extended time outside of the country etc) and evidence of joint life together (again if applying based on marriage to citizen).

Once everything is complete it walks you through reviewing every answer, and then asks for the $725 payment. I received a confirmation email once I submitted it., including a payment receipt and what happens next (Bio-metric appointments). I was also provided an estimated case completion time of January 2020.

All in all it was an easy process to file and I'd recommend doing it online if you're able to do so. I'll keep this thread updated with my progress. I'm excited to become a citizen!

Wait, your i751 has been pending since Jan 2018...?! Wow!

But times have changed and that no longer seems to be the case these days. More the pity for the N-400 filer awaiting adjudication of the I-751.

One needs to remember that the I-751 is the most non-important USCIS filing there is. Your status as a CPR remains the same so there is no urgency to adjudicate the application.
