N-400 Interview with pending I-751 (3 years rule) - NYC
Here is my immigration journey (Brooklyn, New York):
I received my first Green Card/ became a permanent resident through marriage on 03/02/2021.
I filed for form I-751 - Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence (renewal of my Green Card) 3 months before expiration on 12/19/2022.
I filed for form N-400 Application for Naturalization on 12/03/2023 (based on the 3-year rule).
On February 1, 2024, I was scheduled for the N-400 interview.
On March 11, 2024, I had my interview at the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building in NYC. Although not mentioned in the interview notice, I brought my husband with me. The officer called us both in for the interview and mentioned that she was going to do the I-751 interview first and then proceed with the N-400 interview.
At the end of the interview, the officer gave me a paper (Naturalization Interview Result—Form N-652) stating that I passed the English, U.S. history, and government tests but that a decision cannot be made yet about my application (due to pending I-751). However, she told me to expect a case update within a few weeks.
Three days after my interview, my I-751 case status changed to "Case was transferred, and a new office has jurisdiction" - which I assume means that my case is now in Brooklyn.
It has been 4 months (exactly 121 days) since the interview, and I haven't received any further updates.
Today, 07/10/2024, I tried calling USCIS and was able to speak with an agent who told me that the 120-day rule that USCIS has to make a decision on your case cancels out when you have a pending I-751 because my N-400 cannot be approved until my I-751 gets adjudicated. Adding that my I-751 case is within the normal processing time.
At this point, I wonder if there is anything I can do or just have to wait... Does anyone have a similar experience or advice?

N-400 I-751 interview with pending DUI
I had my combo interview last week (I-751 and N-400) and got an RFE today asking about my DUI case (how it was resolved). The case is still pending (I have a court date in a couple of months). Will my N-400 case be denied if I submit my documents stating the case is still pending ?
What other documents can I submit? (character documents from my employer, family, friends). Will they be of any help ?

Case was transferred and a new office has jurisdiction (I-751 and N-400 combo interview)
I had my combo interview and the interviewing officer said my I-751 file is not in Atlanta yet (interviewing location). She gave me a white paper saying you passed the civics test and she has to wait until receives my I-751 file. A few hours later my status changed to "Case was transferred and a new office has jurisdiction". How long is the wait for the review ? Anyone in the same boat ?

Hi - Can someone please help me with this question. Since address change needs to have an USCIS login, how do we do the address change for minors. Can parents do it on behalf of their child using Parents online USCIS account. Will teh system allow as I heard the account is unique. Does anyone having experience using parents accounts to change the address for a child as well.
Please let me know.
