I think it can be accurate but all depends on your state. Where are you filling from?

Hello everyone!

 

Did you guys have to provide a travel record issued by CBP or simply entered the dates? Also have you guys uploaded the PDF version of your tax returns. I will be filing this week and am trying to gather everything. Any advice as to the general documentation requirements will be much appreciated.

wow this is amazing! that used to be the norm before COVID for more rural areas, all field offices are open and ASCs are scheduled to open last week of July for most, I would hope they're somehow starting to normalize and that your estimated case completion time is accurate!

Hello Guys!

 

I'm planning to apply for citizenship this month. Does anyone how the interviews are conducted in these COVID times?

Sorry, should read estimated completion time "May 2021(10 months), not November 2021.

This morning I noticed that the total filing fee amount of $725 N-400 (included biometric fee) was debited from  my checking account.   Usually, as I understand it, they don't deduct the fee unless they are sure, generally speaking, the application meets the USCIS criteria.  However, early to tell and won't get too excited until I receive notice to have my biometrics done.

Thanks for creating the thread, my window opens July 15th. I do have a question regarding the application . Do you all think or are sending affidavits of bonafide marriage from friends and family with the N400 application ?

 

I had to send those affidavits for my initial application i-130, but didn’t submit affidavits for my i-751 (which hasn’t been approved)

 

Thank you, I will keep you posted when my application is sent. 

I'm only sending the documents that are listed on the instruction sheet, i.e. copy of green card, marriage certificate, USC's birth certificate or passport, and tax transcript for 3 years. I just got approved for RoC and as much as people want to send in every possible document for LPR paperwork, I think it's safe to keep to the guidance listed. Online it gives a chance to provide additional documents but I don't know how necessary this is. Might be different for a couple who has had AoS or RoC interviews vs ones who've skipped the interview process so far.

I'm cross-checking my travel dates on my calendar and i-94 but some of my travel history isn't reflected on the i-94 so I think you should go by what will be the most accurate. IRS doesn't mail tax transcripts anymore and you can download a PDF copy from the IRS website, then upload the PDF copies to the online N-400 if submitting online or print out in paper filing. All the best!

Hello everyone. My window will open on the 15th but plan to apply 1-2 days after, that’s what I heard from previous Posts. I will be applying under the 5yrS. I already drafted online my application. I do not see any request for tax transcript. I only see gc,birth certificate,marriage certificate,evidence  supporting dependents. I dont mind uploading my tax transcript from 2016-19. Oh another thing on my tax transcript i filed in 2015, i don't see it on my online account IRS. Although I can call irs to mail my 2015 or just bring my 1040 during interview. 
 

I am excited. Hopefully everything will be smooth and processing times Will not be that long Esp with this COVID situation going on. I also have pending petition for my wife and kids under f2a. Case is under US embassy already,waiting for interview, then Trump issued temporary ban until Dec31st (who knows he might win or next president will extend the ban).

That's weird. I applied yesterday and there was a section for tax documents. Definitely upload them when you apply.

Estimated completion time says 9 months for me, but I don't think that's accurate, especially with the furloughing of USCIS workers and coronavirus.
