N400 application

[aussie girl 1]

We are about to send our N-400. Got a question, can I send both my application and my son's application in one pririty mail envelope? or should I send each apps in separate pririty mail? Trying to see if I can save money. Also if I send via priority mail, is that considered express amil or should I just send to the Lockbox?

thanks for any help,

Since my stepdaughter was barely over 18 when her mom became eligible to apply for US citizenship, she had to wait the full five years with her own N-400, a check for $680.00, and copy of her green card. Sent it first class mail for 86 cents, so we are not talking about a lot of money here.

If she was under 18, wouldn't have to send in any application for her, she automatically becomes a US citizen when her mom does, but would have done a N-600 with a copy of her mom's certificate and the other evidence alone with a check for $600.00 so she has proof of that citizenship.

I suppose if you were both applying for the five year with a son over 18, still would send it in separately, would confuse the USCIS with one stack of paper. And no longer bother with overnight, from experience, think the guy that has to sign for many of these gets irate and tosses them in a pile someplace and lets them sit there for several weeks. Besides any important document we received from the USCIS came in first class mail.

I sent 2 N-400's in one package (mine and daughter's / daughter was 18 in March).

Depends.

If you don't mind creating total chaos on a machine that doesn't think outside the box just in order to save $5.95 in postage, go right ahead.

I wouldn't would strongly advise against it though.

Wish I waited for your replies. Sent the package on 08/05/2011 via USPS Priority Mail with both my 24 yr old son's and my N400. USPS tracking indicates the package arrived in Dallas,TX Lockbox on August 7 but postman could not find anybody to receive the package (I also had a delivery confirmation receipt attached to the package) had to leave a note. USPS tracking indicates the final delivery date is 08/08/2011 at 6:30 a.m.

Each N400 application had the form for text alert but only my son got a text message of the Receipt Notice numbers and date for each of the N400 application. I never got a text. Did a query in the USCIS web page for Case status using receipt numbers from text message. Both are in the 2nd stage (Review Stage), past the acceptance stage. Hope that this is not the start of chaos (i.e. only son got the text message).

I don't see why you're so worried. Everything seems to be going just fine. I've sent my kids AOS applications in one envelope, people do it all the time.

The only thing, if you for some reason would like both applications processed together, you have to specifically ask in a letter. Otherwise your timelines may be different. Don't see why that would matter much, though.
