I'm applying for a US Citizenship. I have a pending I-751 due to COVID and long delays. I had to get a travel stamp in my passport at the USCIS Office. At that time they took my expired green card and never returned it. According, the M-477 checklist the first requirement is a copy of my green card. Should I just include my I-751 receipt? Since USICS took my green card? From my understanding, I can submit the N-400 application while the I-751 is pending.
Thank you
A:
As long as you are eligible for the N-400 at the time you file, yes you can submit it while the I-751 is still pending. USCIS will not approve the N-400 until the I-751 is approved; depending on your local office, both applications may be decided at the same interview so it is important that your spouse attend with you when you are scheduled.
In addition to the I-751 receipt you can also submit a copy of your temporary stamp in your passport in lieu of your green card.
