I see what you mean now. You are correct.

USPS tracking says "The delivery record shows that this item was delivered on April 3, 2014 at 10:23 am in LINCOLN, NE 68501 to M HAZUD." Now I wait... Hopefully it won't be too long to receive a noti

1) You would want to count 90 days BACK from the third year anniversary of your "Resident Since" date...not ahead

2) If you became a resident on June 17, 2011, then your eligibility window would open on March 19, 2014, not March 17

3) Yes, by waiting till after April 2nd, 2014, you would have met the all timeframe eligibility requirements as outlined by the USCIS

Thank you! You are very helpful!

So I am most likely sending it in on April 2nd.. :) Or maybe the 3rd, to play it safe! lol.

I see what you mean now. You are correct.

Thank you for your help! I got my GC quite fast, so I am one of those who can't just rely on the "resident since" date. :)

My Journey:

We met through a study-abroad program in Shanghai, China in August of 2009

We got engaged March of 2010

I received my K1 VISA in 6 months (June-December 2010)

We were married 04/02/2011
I received my conditional 2-year greencard (AOS) in 2.5 months with no interview (April-June 2011)

Our son was born 02/03/2013

I received my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology 04/17/2013

I received my 10-year greencard (ROC) in 3 months with no interview (March-June 2013)

My husband returned from deployment 06/20/2013

My naturalization journey took 4 months (April-August 2014)

I became a US citizen on 08/01/2014

Received passport in 3 weeks (regular processing)

Thank you, VJ! smile.png

Good luck to you, and you're right. You need to wait till the later of the third year anniversary of your marriage or your "Resident Since" date. Turns out tha would be April 2nd. However, even if you did send it on April 2nd, it wouldn't get there till after April 2nd which means that your filing date" would be after April 2nd anyway.

Panem today, Panem tomorrow, Panem forever...

I have neither legal training nor immigration expertise; all comments posted must therefore be consumed in that vein.

I didn't think of that. So I guess its fine to send it on the 2nd, which is better for me because I plan to take off for that day because of my anniversary, plus my son has a doctor's appointment. I just don't want to run the risk of my packet getting rejected for sending it in so soon. :)

Hello VJ members. If I am wrong please let me know. I think when it is time for my wife's interview, that is when they will asked for a couple of bank statements, electric bills. As for now when sending in my wife's n-400 application, I only need to send in the following: My divorced papers from my last marriage, my birth papers, 3 years of tax transcripts, my wife's greencard [back and front]. Lot rent receipts. If I forgot something, please let me know. Thank you for any replys.

Don't forget a copy of your marriage certificate. :)

Yes you can use the new form already. It just means that after May you cannot use the old forms. I am going to type everything, and handwrite some parts if needed.

My wife's packet was received on the 27th, but the check has not been cashed yet. Unless the check is cashed on Monday it appears we will be in the April Filers group.

To answer Lisa011's question, I had the old form filled out, but used the new form. Everything was typed in but my wife's signature.
