So just to make sure i understand the  90 days window time and timeline correctly. here is my timeline:

1- we got married in July 2015

2- I got my conditional GC in Feb 22nd 2016

3- I filed for ROC in November 25th 2017 

 

And I think my 90 days window for N-400 is this November 22nd, 2018, am i correct ?

 

So far my application for ROC has moved to Seattle office since April 2017

And you do you think it would take 13 months from the time I apply to N-400 until i get an interview ? so probably around January 2020, correct ? 

 

Please advise on when to apply ? And if i applied online, I would upload supporting documents, payment and everything online. No more mailing. Correct ?

 

Thanks in advance :)

Thank you. What bout the rest of my questions ? :)

LOL. Sorry about that.

You can file for Citizenship as soon as 11/24/2018. Nobody can tell for sure if it's going to take 13 months, unfortunately. It really depends on how fast the local office processes the cases. I don't think anyone could tell you for sure. I would go ahead and apply when your window opens.

 

Correct, you can upload documents online, pay online etc.

wonderful. thank you! :)

 

As for applying while my ROC pending. I read so many confusing things. and it makes me hesitated because it may interfere with my current ROC and delay its processing time. I don't know if that's even accurate. My ultimate goal is to be a citizen soon, so i can visit my family back home. I won't be able to visit without being a citizen unfortunately.

From my understanding it will make USCIS adjudicate the I-751 faster once you apply for Citizenship and you may have both I-751 and N-400 interview together. 

 

I have a few friends from Portland, OR area that actually had the I-751 and N-400 interview together. As for my self, in two weeks I will be filling the I-751.

I wouldn't say they adjudicate the I-751 faster...but they often do adjudicate both together.

There may be exceptions for some oddball cases that are processing naturalization applications quicker than ROC (even with the 1+ year delay in filing).

Timelines:

ROC:

Spoiler

7/27/20: Sent forms to Dallas lockbox, 7/30/20: Received by USCIS, 8/10 NOA1 electronic notification received, 8/1/ NOA1 hard copy received

AOS:

AOS (I-485 + I-131 + I-765):

9/25/17: sent forms to Chicago, 9/27/17: received by USCIS, 10/4/17: NOA1 electronic notification received, 10/10/17: NOA1 hard copy received. Social Security card being issued in married name (3rd attempt!)

10/14/17: Biometrics appointment notice received, 10/25/17: Biometrics

1/2/18: EAD + AP approved (no website update), 1/5/18: EAD + AP mailed, 1/8/18: EAD + AP approval notice hardcopies received, 1/10/18: EAD + AP received

9/5/18: Interview scheduled notice, 10/17/18: Interview

10/24/18: Green card produced notice, 10/25/18: Formal approval, 10/31/18: Green card received

I agree - it boils down to your local USCIS office processing time. In my local USCIS case Dallas has 26 months delay for processing N400. I think it'll better for me to wait for I-751 approval before filing N400.

N-400 Application Timeline :

Application sent via mail - April 15th  (Field office Dallas, TX)

NOA Receipt date - April 17th

Biometrics receipt - April 22th (appointment scheduled for May 14th)

Biometrics completed - May 7th (Early Walk-in)

Biometrics completed - May 7th (Early Walk-in)

Interview scheduled notification - November 12th (via email - waiting to receive letter in mail for actual Interview date)

Interview completed & Case approved - November 17th

 

Naturalization Ceremony (in January 2020 - waiting on notice)
