Questions for naturalization application

[MarkDallasTX 0]

Hi everyone, I apologize if these questions are asked or too much to answer and I posted some of them here but I think It would be helpful to let other people see and I want to make sure that I have no mistakes in my form so I am asking them here in one post.

 

Thank you in advance for answering. Much appreciated since I do not work with a lawyer because of the costs. 

 

1 - I am submitting N400 online. I was told that I can save and continue until I complete everything. Do I pay the fee online with credit card?

 

2 - If I finish the online form, how can I let a lawyer(if I can find a cheap one) double check it? Do I have to share my login or is there a system for them to be able to see my application?

 

3 - I live in Atlanta but I'm moving to Florida. How long does it usually take to apply for a passport?

 

4 - In what format I should upload files when filing online?

 

5 - If anything is missing or wrong, would I get a notification to complete or would it be denied?

 

6 - I had 2-3 speeding tickets in last 3 years. Do I have to upload receipts to show I paid them? Or is there any other documentation other than email receipts (since I paid online) that I need to upload?

 

7 - I am in a legit marriage and I am not sure if we have to proof anything with our marriage in this form. Do we need to submit photos or anything like that to prove that marriage is not fake? 

 

8 - Is traveling outside of US while N400 and I751 are both pending recommended? 

 

9 - I am not working with lawyer because they are expensive and my case shouldn't be complicated. What happens if I make a mistake in the form and my N400 gets denied? 

 

10 - I do not know the exact move in/out dates for some addresses I lived in 2015 and 2016. Can I guess the day and month? I really have no easy way of knowing exact day of the month I moved in with my roommates. It was during collage and some places were temporary but I always reported address changes to USCIS. 

 

11 - After submitting the form N400, Can I complete bio-metrics and interview in another country? (I would have to be in Germany because of medical problems)

 

Thank you again for any help.

Honestly speaking, yes it seems u r asking too much questions without even reading the instructions first. You’ll get good responses if you read the instructions/guidelines first and ask the questions in areas of confusion or doubt.

 

You will find answers to bunch of ur questions in the following link regarding payment, files upload format, online access, RFEs  if they need any more information.

For bonafide marriage evidence, provide the ones listed in n400 instructions.

 

for other answers.

3. Passport application is only after oath ceremony and receipt of naturalization certificate which will happen after lots n lots of months of processing.

6. People have been ignoring minor tickets but doesn’t hurt to disclose them if already paid. Online or email receipts shud be good.

8. Travelling is fine as long as u make sure u son’t miss important appointments.

10. Dates approximation is fine.

11. I don’t think you’ll be allowed to do biometrics/interview in a foreign country.

Questions:

1. Yes it saves your answers and will store your application for 1 month, if you haven't completed it by then it gets deleted. After you have completed the application you can pay with a credit card and when that goes through the system automatically submits your application.

2. After you have finished filling out the application (before you pay) their system, checks the form for you and will show a red/yellow/green or no flag to indict if you forgot to fill something out or need to up load more evidence. Unless your case is a difficult one, I wouldn't pay for a lawyer. I've done the whole process without one, only using vj to ask questions and read others people's experiences.

4. Where you get to the part of uploading evidence, it will tell you which files types you can upload,  I did pdf.

5. You will get a notification.

6. I paid my speeding ticket by mail, so had no receipt. I went to the DMV and paid $15 for my drivers history, which shows that you have paid, I also included a copy of the check. Your email receipts sound fine.

7. If you are doing the n400 based on being married for 3 years, they will tell you the evidence they need. I'm still married, but I filled under the resident for 5 years.

9. see answer for question 5.
