File N-400 While I-751 (Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence) Is Still Pending

[minhtuanta 0]

I brought my wife to the US on K1 visa and filed I-751 last November. Her green card anniversary is 2/1 so we decided to file N-400 for her. We've just got a notice for her biometrics appointment for I-751 this Monday. The problem is the appointment was on 11/4. We bought a house and moved to the new house and put in a forward mail request and it took the post office more than a month to forward the notice to our new address that causes us to miss the appointment.

My question is will the missing appointment complicate my wife's N-400 application? Will my wife need to have another biometrics appointment for N-400 (we already paid the biometrics for the N-400) or will they just use the biometrics from I-751?

I think maybe your dates are wrong? If she’s only been here since last November it’s way too early to apply for naturalization. Did you update your address with USCIS or only the post office?

No, she's been here since 7/2016. She had her green card on 2/1/2017. We filed for Remove Condition last November.

can't rely on post office to forward mail from DHS

i think they have to return them to USCIS to be sent on to any new address so you are lucky post office mailed it on

 

you have to update address with USCIS always till that naturazation paper is in hand and then you still have to update the new status with SS office (this really is the very last step)

Yeah, I updated the address with USCIS but it took a couple of days and the post office already did the forwarding process (which surprisingly took more than a month).

Just take the paper and try to do a walk in

I did this morning but they didn't accept walk in :(. The next closest ASC is 50 minutes away

Okay. Have you called the number on the appointment notice where it says to call if you need to reschedule? 

[minhtuanta 0]

Yes, I called and they generated a new notice and appointment.

Thank you. But my questions were will the missing appointment complicate my wife's N-400 application? Will my wife need to have another biometrics appointment for N-400 (we already paid the biometrics for the N-400) or will they just use the biometrics from I-751?

Was the missed one not for N-400? Others yes she should have one for that one also unfortunately.
