We are getting ready to send in the N-400 application and I was wondering how everyone typically organizes all the paperwork. Do you use the 2-hole punch at top and put everything in a folder that has the Acco clip on top (that's how filed forms years ago)? Any particular order to things? If anyone has any additional tips we would appreciate it!

Thanks!

We just put them in the order of the Document Checklist you can print out from the Guide to Naturalization and used a large binder clip at the top.

Then put it all in a plastic folder and mailed it inl.

Good luck!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone! Looks like we have everything ready and in order now. We'll give it a final review tonight and send it off Friday. I wonder how many other people who were putting off the application will now be rushing to file before the fee increase? Maybe this will cause some increased processing time. Oh well, we are not in any huge hurry.

Thanks again!

One more question - the PDF guide says to mail to the Texas service center. The USCIS website says all applications must go to Nebraska. Which is correct?
