Hi All,

I am eligible to submit my N400 on December 20 of this year, my 3 years on my Greencard is up on March 20, 2016. Here is my dilemma, I am not sure if I should submit my N400 or not, the problem is, I was planning a trip back to Australia, in July/August of next year. I read that we have to hand back our GC at the Oath ceremony and that we then couldn't travel until we have our US passports (which makes sense, I get all that). I will be going through the Houston office, so now I am not sure if I should wait until after our trip to file, because I feel like I might be cutting things a bit too close, especially if there are long delays in the process. Does anyone have any time frames from when they filed until they were all done through the Houston office. Thanks, any advice and opinons would be appreciated.

is it feasible to submit the packet after you return to USA?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

I am thinking that's probably the smartest thing for me to do at this point. There is no hurry for me to obtain my Citizenship, so I think that's my best option so I am not sitting here stressing over the time frame. Plus my next trip is only my second time out of the country since having my GC, so that's a total of 5 weeks only, so it's not like I have to get my Citizenship before the trip for any reason other than I am eligible for it.

No just our son and I this time and not a bad idea, maybe I should fill it all out and get his signature, then again he might think I am planning on bopping him on the head during his sleep one night LOL thanks Darnell for your replies :-)

You're in no rush really.

At the earliest I'm filing at 5 years. I'm not sending the USCIS anymore relationship evidence unless forced.

yeah I think if our trip gets the green light then I am just going to hold off until afterwards for sure. I think I just needed to voice it to actually make my decision lol so thanks for listening!
