Hey folks! We're BAAAAAK! :)

The links to the N400 USCIS Instructions is broken... Can someone fix the link or have the new one?

Things have have been going great for us, but its time to quit procrastinating and get on with things. Can anyone tell me if the "step by step" guide above is current and accurate?

You can pretty much see what our situation is from our timeline. Can anyone in a similar situation add anything else to the proceedures or provide any up-to-date information that would help us to avoid any potential pitfalls or problems in this process?

Also what is the cost now and how long are applications taking?

Thanks to all the wonderful folks who keep this site up and running, and all those who take their time to help others, like us!

This link should work just fine http://www.uscis.gov/n-400 . You have the:

1. application

2. instructions

3. G-1145 form which allows you to receive electronically the receipt of your application

You can also download the guide, which has exteremly useful info.

Good luck!
