Thanks for the information, did you apply online? If yes, which part did you attach  the scanned copy of the 12 months and 18 months extension? I plan to submit mine tomorrow.  Appreciate your feedback.

Anytime!

yes I applied online, and I attached scanned copy of 12 and 18 months extension letter with the green card section.

question for the folks applying for N400: how much sooner then the 07-751 do you guys expect on receiving it? 

I don't know about receiving it, but I applied online for N-400 on September 10 and just got a text message this week that I have an interview scheduled (probably mid-January, though I have to wait to get the official letter for the exact date). As we all know on this thread, there is next to no movement on the I-751 front.

 

My personal assessment is that if you are in general planning to apply for citizenship at some point there is only a benefit in applying now (esp. filing online) and not waiting. I made my decision also based on looking at the thread of combined I-751 and N-400 filers where many people seemed to get interviews due to their N-400 applications within about 4 months of submitting them.

Looks like this was one year too late for all us!  But requirement #2 looks wonky - the USCIS doesn’t need to interview the petitioner if they have already interviewed the petitioner?  Um...

The way I interpreted it is that the petitioner was interviewed not for I-751 (the removing of conditions), but for the initial granting of the permanent residency. As opposed to having gotten THAT status with the interview waived, as I think many people do if they had an overseas K-1 interview. That's just my informed but unprofessional opinion.

I didn’t understand what it meant either, but it certainly means including as much proof as possible is the way to go.

If you submitted three year IRS tax transcripts ( marriage base), then there is no need to submit bank statements.

Interesting, thanks. Do you know what's the difference of applying for citizenship after 5 years with the green card instead of 3?
