That's actually pretty fast considering the fact that you did both! What documents did you send with N400 if you dont mind me asking?

Great question. What are we suppose to include for the n400 as additional evidence ?

If you apply online, there will be guidelines on what documents you should upload to support your application. Like MHZ has mentioned, they are pretty similar to the ones used for I751, just more recent and updated.

I think this pretty much has something to do with which particular local office that processes the application, some are faster than the others.  And even with the same local office, each case is different. With NYC, I was actually surprised that the estimated waiting time for N400 is 10 months right now.

Hi All-

I'm a CSC filer (NOA was 7.26.17) and I've just got a letter telling me to come to my local office (Chicago) for an interview for i-751 on 9.25 (it was mailed on 9.6 but we had a mail-hold while on vacation) - the letter tells me to bring my husband and proof of the bona fide of our marriage.  Neither of my online accounts (my.uscis and egov.uscis) have the letter listed or status updated - one is showing my address change from April 2018 and one is showing the 'moved to local office' from back in Feb 18.  All very odd.

Anyway, rather than stressing out about it, I've decided to be happy that something is moving on my case!

 

In case it's relevant - I have also filed for my N-400 already, so I've added the extra pieces of evidence that I gathered for that (2017 tax return, mortgage), to the pack that I originally prepared and will take them along on 9.25.

 

Has anyone else been for interview?  If so, I'd love to hear how it went, what to expect etc.  I'm assuming that we should ask my MIL to watch our daughter, rather than bring a rambunctious 15-month old along?

 

Thanks all in advance!

@dizzykjk I presume you didn't file for your N-400 as your interview letter state that you bring your spouse along. But all things considered, this is great considering that there is traction in your case. Take proofs of everything ( utility,rent/mortgage/,bank statements, health insurance,auto/home insurance, jointly filed tax returns) since you submitted your original application to the interview. TBH, it is not a bad idea to take your child with you. IMO, there isn't a better proof of a legitimate marriage, than having children.

Pretty much the same as I-751 with more recent documents. My package had  the  following  items plus a letter detailing what is included:  

• Form  G-1145  
• Form  N-400  
• Form  M-477  
• Main  Passport  page  of  my  spouse’s  passport  as  proof  of  citizenship  
• A  photocopy  of  applicant  green  card,  front  and  back  
• A  copy  of  my  extension  letter  that  was  received  when  applicant  applied  for  condition  removal.  
• A  copy  of  the  marriage  certificate  and  marriage  license.  
• Proof  of  joint  Auto  insurance  
• Proof  of  joint  renter’s  insurance  
• Proof  of  joint  health  care  coverage  
• Proof  of  life  insurance  beneficiaries  
• Tax  filings  for  2014,  2015  &  2016  
• Joint  lease  agreements  for  2014,2015,  2016  &  2017  
• Copies  of  Bank  Statements  for  joint  savings  account  
• Spouse  Checking  Bank  Statements 
• Applicant  Checking  Bank  Statements  ending  in  7276
• Cashier Check 

That's a great list. I have similar evidence, so I will certainly include that. For bank statements, I'm assuming you did all statements for the last 3 -4 years as well?

 

Thank you for sharing!

Hello my July 2017 friends,

 

Today I received mail from USCIS.  It was a relatively thick letter.  Once opened I realized what it was.....it contained:

 

a) was my new extension letter (that is redundant now as I got the stamp in July) but....addressed in my name, city and zip code.  NO STREET ADDRESS/PO BOX

b) the original mailing envelope which obviously  arrived somewhere and looks like USPS attached a computer print out sticker (coded) and labelled Return to Sender **Insufficent Address.  USCIS opened it rather neatly, unfolded it and attached it to my new 2 page I797 NOA form

c) USCIS letter re: change of address letter and

d) Change of address form  AR-11

 

Clearly whoever received the return to sender mail did not catch the misprint on the mailing address (which left out the street address and PO Box) and sent me the change of address form.  I DID NOT MOVE.

 

I am unsure what to do.

 

All prior correspondence from USCIS has arrived safely to our PO Box.  I have never been questioned on using a PO BOX before. We have listed our physical address on all applications but indicated preference as PO BOX.

 

My questions:

1.  Do I send USCIS the form back completing it with the same info?  ***note: the form states No PO Boxes

2.  Do I ignore it this form?

3.  Do I call them to inquire about what to do?

I would call USCIS and ask for Tier 2 officer. Let them know the story, ask them what address they have on file and ask them what to do. I think its best to talk to a human first before sending out anything. Just my opinion.

Hi there,

 

I wish you all the best in your interview, please keep us updated on what happens. I am also a CSC filer and my local office is Chicago, so would love to know if this will come to all of us in the Chicago office.

 

Thanks

Received my 10-year green card in the mail today! It was only one week since the date of approval notice.
