getting ready to fill out the N400 form

[daphne2109 0]

Hi all, I'm almost ready to fill out the form N400 and I would like to ask the following questions:

A- after I send out the docs how long it takes usually to get the appointments for the fingerprints?

B- I heard that they give you the material to study the day you have the biometrics, but if you are not requested to do the biometrics what are you going to do?

Which is the best link to study?Or you can ask anyway the material although you are not requested to do the biometrics?

C- On the immigration websites there are so many links related to the material to study which one is the ONE to study............I get confused there are to many links, I would

like to have a THE LINK that I know is the ONE from A to Z to study without giving me headaches among too many links

D- After the biometrics, you receive an appointment note about when you have the test along with the interview to discuss the docs sent out, or the test & the interview about the docs

sent out will be in two different dates? Usually how long after the biometrics they send you the appointment for the test?

Sorry for asking too many questions, and I hope to have been clear, I'll highly appreciate any of your info/suggestions based on your personal experiences.

Tks to everybody & good luck for your journey!!!!!!

Hi Daphne,

Here is my N400 Process:

11-09-09 sent N400 via USPS next day to Lewisville, Tx

11-10-09 received in Tx

11-13-09 NOA1

11-20-09 received hardcopy of NOA1

11-25-09 received NOA for fingerprints for January

12-7-09 walked in ACS and did biometrics

12-11-09 received yellow letter

12-29-09 online status displays RFE; called USCIS. It was falsely generated

01-02-10 received interview letter N659/NOA2

2-04-10 Interview at Philadelphia office

2-26-10 Oath ceremony and officially a citizen

The whole process took 3mos, 17days.

I filed the application with a copy of my driver's licence as well as a copy of the front and back of the green card; two passport sized photos.

Also for the interviewing process make sure you take a copies of at least the last three years of taxes filed.

Since you are also married to a USC you might have take copy of your spouse's BC, passport or naturalization certificate and also any additional support you will need. Refer to the instruction on the N400 relevant to your situation when you file.

I hope that this helps and good luck to you

A. Each case is different and it depends on where you live. I applied on Feb 18 and I had my biometrics on April 2nd. Yesterday I just got my appointment letter for the interview. It will be on June 9th. So from the beginning to the interview it took me almost 4 months.

Some have had their test in less time, in 2 and a half months.

B. You can find it on the official immigration website: www.uscis.gov and download the 100 questions. The are the same ones as the booklet and CD.

D. There are 2 different NOAS. One is a yellow letter that tells you any missing documents to bring to the test. Not everyone gets one. If you have sent all the documents that they need you won't get a yellow letter. I got one because I need to present an ID.

Then you will get the appointment letter for the test. I got it a month after the yellow letter, some get it 2 to 3 weeks after the yellow letter.

I don't have the link.

just go the uscis.gov website and check the area of citizenship. it has all the info, including the questions.

[agynyame 2]

the test can be found at the USCIS website. You can google it as well.
