Hey guys! This is my first time posting. Finally got my 2nd year GC on Nov 3rd and have not applied for citizenship yet. I have few questions:

I cant see to find file n 400 online option. When I go to their website it says you can pay a fee, or do i90  form but I dont see n400. 

 

Could you please suggest where to go to apply online?

Thank you!

Hello all!

I am in the process of getting all my documents ready to apply. As I understand you can file the application online as well as by regular mail. I filled up the application thinking I will mail it and pay the fees by cheque. Now I am having second thoughts and am wondering if there is any advantage of applying online. Would love to hear from you guys about how you are applying and if there is any particular reason to prefer one method over the other. 

Thanks in advance!

I filed online, it was easier than sending all paper work, plus NOA was same day and biometric letter was a couple days after that. Seems faster.

Hey guys, 

 

Do you submit any photos when filing?

 

 

 

 

Nope.

Also, do I need to upload a 2x2 passport photo   of myself when filing online?

 

 

 

Not asked nor needed if you're filing from within the country.

 

It is suggested to bring a couple to the interview just in case.

Nikkosan will update mine when I get my NOA.

It's been over a week since I mailed my paperwork, so far I received an email saying "Your case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS Harrisonburg Storage Center for processing", I've seen that on the forum before but I can't find where. And my USCIS status shows "Your case is being processed at our Integrated Operating Env location". Did not receive an actual NOA and my check was not cashed. Does anybody know what that means?

Thanks. I think I will mail it in since I had printed and made copies of all required documents already.

 

Good luck with the process!
