Thank you all for sharing your ROC journey so far, it is extremely helpful for us to know what to expect!!!

 

Here is some info that might be helpful if anyone is reading this prior to filing:

USCIS calculator to find out when you are allowed to file: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/dateCalculator.html

VJ guide: https://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide

I did not know payment with Credit card was allowed by USCIS, I just read it in this forum, and maybe will be using in the future.  

 

I am ready to send off my package tomorrow.

It was very helpful reading this thread while doing a last check on my form and documents (I am triple-checking the signature on the form and the filing date!).

Here is what I have: E-notification form, I-751, $680 check, copy of front and back of GC (exp. Jan/2019), copy of deed for joint house ownership, 2017 tax return jointly, utility bill with both names, phone bill with joint plan and history of calls between us, multiple insurance policies with both names, joint membership to Costco, invitation and photos of our wedding that happened last month, flight reservations for both of us to visit the family in Ohio for Thanksgiving, 5k run participation together (photo, registration and finish times), holiday and wedding cards addressed to both, multiple photos (with name, A# and brief description on back).

 

Feeling pretty good about the package we are filing, but now this is the bad news I just came across on USCIS website...  Slow torture and too cruel!!!

Hi there. Good luck in sending in your package. Regarding the processing time, Like pcke2000 said, once they receive their 18 months extension notice, many filers just focus on waiting for the Naturalization window to open. And I sincerely think it doesn't matter very much since the 18 months extension gives you the same possibilities than having a green card.

Would you care to share the contents of each tab?  Seems like a lot of tabs.  Good luck!

Thank you for sharing.  We are working on mine a little each month so it does not become overwhelming when it comes time to file on Dec 29th.  Mine is quite heavy already.

I feel you. We started gathering all the documents last month. With the wait times increased now I just wanted to send everything on the first day I was eligible.

I just sent my husband's application via USPS this morning. His filing window opened up on Saturday, so I wanted to make sure we sent it quick!

Hello everyone, I sent my package on October 1st (Texas). I just got my NOA with the 18 month extension. The case number starts with SRC what service center is that? I am guessing that the next step is the Biometrics? how long does it take to receive the appointment?

Hi! I think SRC is the Texas Service Center. I found this in another thread and screenshotted it

Good you get the divorce finalized, that would have been an hurdle, you still good, the petition will get in before the expiration and of course you are still in between you 90 days window. If u not taking a new job and not traveling, just wait patiently to receive your 18 months NOA, which will be anytime between 30 days of your petition acceptance. Good luck

Thank you @prok! Yes, it would be an automatic RFE for me if I didn't submit my divorce papers. That's why I waited for it.

Fingers crossed, hoping everyone of us will have a smooth process. Good luck to all

Hello, we decided to jump in October filers pool as well. Our window opened on 26th Oct and we just mailed them. We are in the middle of buying a house so we first thought to wait for a month but then we made the last time decision to file as soon as possible and then change address later. My packet is expected to be delivered on Wednesday.

 

I will keep you all posted about the procees. Good luck to everyone!

[Avfcfan89 1]

I just wanted to put my information for the October filers. I sent my package in on 10/26/2018 to the Lewisville location. They received the package on 10/29/2018. Funny thing is I live in Lewisville about five miles from the location. Wish I could have just hand delivered it and asked them to process it there.

Hello Everyone!

I received my NOA1 last friday but I was abroad and I just opened it today that I am back. It says notice day 10/23/18 and received it on 10/03/18. The weird thing is that I received 4 letters of the same notice. Does anyone receive more than one? is that normal?
