Oh and one more question: I feel we need to rush this application as I don't want to pay more.

 

How did you organize all the supporting documents? We need to send a paper based application because I am applying from overseas and on military orders.

You can still file your application online as long as you have an internet connection. I highly suggest to do it online instead, I might be wrong but the status update for me is way faster than sending an application through mail.

I have seen others mentioning that the fees will increase in December. Is this a proposed increase or has it been set in stone already?

Same here. I became eligible since March of 2018, however, since my ROC was still pending at that time, I have opted to just wait for it and I believe it was for the best since I have received an RFE on December 2018. The fee increase on December 2nd specifically for N-400 from $640 to $1,170 (excluding the fee for Biometrics) is way too much that I had to file for it online ASAP. 

 

I will post the link here just in case some of you guys would like to know more.

This is all I have for now. I can't tell for sure but I won't be surprised if all these will take effect. I had no plan yet on applying for N-400, but I had to send it right away because the increase is too much.

I believe it’s a proposal for now but from past experience, their fee increase proposals usually happen. It may not happen though but you don’t want to bank on that. This link also talks about the reasons for the increase :

~AOS : 09/11/2014 - 2 YR Green card received!.

~ROC : 07/13/2017 - 10 YR Green card received!.

~N-400 : 10/28/2020 - N400 Interview & Approval/Oath Ceremony/US Citizen!

I've been reading the various posts trying to educate myself while waiting to file next year.   I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out the meaning of acronymS such as ROC, AOS...Thanks.

AOS is Adjustment of Status while ROC is Removal of Conditions on Residence.

Awww, I am so sorry to hear that. What do you mean when you mentioned about the reason as to why your package got rejected? Just got curious as to why they couldn't use the form.

Perhaps try filing it online. It's easier and gets accepted same day or next day.
