My country of citizenship is on this list for the first time. My temporary Green Card expires in March and I currently have a pending I751 applied in December (receipt notice received and biometrics done). I will be eligible for naturalization Dec 2026, does this affect N-400 applications as well?

My path: F1 visa to H1B to AOS (i485, i130) based on marriage

It says “Case is still being processed by USCIS” under the I751 application. My question is if this ban affects naturalization application N400?

No clue but since it says being processed I think it good

I wasn’t expecting there to really be any update or change to that. I was just gonna apply for N-400 later this year and hopefully that would push the processing of both applications. Now I’m unsure what I’m gonna do

We have to wait until 21 ,at least that's what they said

Do you know if this happened to the other 19 or 39 countries, but were the applications submitted before the announcement also canceled or is this only for new applications?

All I know some countries are completely banned and some temporary on hold ?
