Filing N400 online, anyone?

I paid it online so I should have an email somewhere. I also took traffic school online to avoid insurance rate spikes and definitely do have that documentation. 

If all else fails and you can't find anything?  Get a driving record from the DMV.

You won't likely have any issues with 1 traffic ticket.

And like I said---you're not required to bring documentation...just be aware you may be asked about it.

Yeah I'm really not worried about it. I did find the payment receipt though easily enough. Was only $291. 

 

I'm sure I'm not the first person they've seen with a speeding violation

Hmmm....speeding and apparent federal warrants...boy, you sure do get around lol

 

Might be time to consider requesting a name change during your interview

I've considered it actually, changing it from my dad's last name to my mom's maiden name.

San Francisco office N-400 processing time frame is 13 months?! Is it accurate?

Probably. Think about the number of immigrants in the bay area due to the tech sector.

Several of us have discovered that the estimated online dates seem to be glitchy and change sometimes back and forth.

For example---my online updates show that I have been scheduled for an interview and an appointment letter will be mailed out with info, yet my estimated completion time still sits at 11 months from now.  Which, if a letter IS actually already mailed, wouldn't be true.

Yea, its all over the place. If theres one thing I've learned during all this immigration #######, it's that you can't ever depend on dates. Too many variables in place. Everything from how busy they are to how the intern processing the documentation had for breakfast on that particular day.

I've heard in the past that USCIS has conducted in-person focus groups for people several months after their oath ceremony --- just to get their feedback on changes, process, difficulties, etc.   A couple of people on VJ have had phone calls from USCIS inviting them to one. Wonder if they still do that?

Hah. Once I have that certificate, USCIS can F-off

Actually I wouldn't mind taking part in it---I think it'd be kind of fun to see how policies/requirements might change in the future for others, and be able to tell them a few things that always confused me/irritated me about my own process since getting a GC.  It's good that they do the feedback groups/surveys---it's really the only way they can improve, right?

 

On the flip side, I completely understand your sentiment too.

I wasn't asked to upload tax returns. Were you?

 

I'd just upload the entire thing in PDF form. Should be a couple MB or so.
