Hey all, submitted my N-400 package today on the 3 years marriage rule (although married for 4.5 years) with the following contents:

• Permanent Resident Card scan

• Marriage Certificate scan

• Driver’s licenses scans

• Joint tax returns the year 2017 through 2019

• Spouses Birth Certificate and US Passport scans

• Child Birth Certificate

• Few Joint Bank Account statements over the years of marriage

• Few Joint Utility Bills over the last couple of year

• Apartment Lease Agreements Scan

• List of labeled photos over the years of marriage

• Health Insurance Joint Enrollment over the last few years

 

Also I faced a very annoying issue when uploading files when they just disappear as soon as you switch to the application review page. Ended up following one of the advises I found online - uploading files one by one instead of in bulk.

I'm from 🇺🇦 as well.

Hey guys 

 

About to join the September 2020 Filers. Just had a final couple of questions 

 

1.) Did any of you submit a cover letter along with the application. I remember making a detailed cover letter for my previous visa dealings but somehow I cant seem to find a consensus that it is required or needed.

 

2.) I am being asked to submit Evidence about child support. I have just one child who lives with me. Is that a standard question. I was under the impression that the online form is a smart form which only asks for relevant data ( I am hoping I didn't click that my child doesn't live with me) 

 

Thanks in advance 

1) I submitted a cover letter with mine. I have done this with the K-1, AOS application, and I-751 removal of conditions. A detailed cover letter outlining every piece of evidence I had uploaded, so that there would be no question as to what I uploaded. There is no requirement to do this, which is why you won't find consensus. But if they say "you didn't submit X", I can say, "You can see it's Exhibit 7b labeled page 46 and here is the PDF in my file reflecting that."

 

2.) I didn't fill out the "additional evidence" or "evidence of name change" section bc they didn't apply. When yo uclick "next" it will give you the warning that failing to upload evidence may delay your case, but I think it's just a system blanket warning that if any section is left "blank" they warn you that that might not be a good idea. I was certain these didn't apply to me so I clicked next again and it lets you go onto the next page.

I submitted a long cover letter (long because i made a table of all the contents/documents that i submitted with my n400 application and categorized them) but i like it that way so that's its full proof and i won't get an rfe. Hehehe. And they can't say i didn't submit whatever either. I also wrote a short 3- 5 sentence introducing my self and my journey as a k1, getting married and doing aos and then that i'm applying for n400 under ina 319b. And then anothe paragraph explaining my why i wanna apply for it and then another paragraph explaining my schedule and another asking to expedite mine. But yeah i have just had that table/chart with the entire contents in my k1 fiance visa packet and aos packet. So i continued it with my n400. The officer at my interview for my aos was very impressed with my detailed and easy packet and tabs. (I placed codes on tabs) So yeah that encouraged me so much. But its up to you if you want or not want to do a cover letter. I sent mine by mail too so it makes more sense to have a cover letter. But for those that send it in via online.. a lot of people skip that part. But for me i feel it can help your case as an intro or something. 

 

 

Haha you and I are on the same wavelength! I did the same, with the introduction letter and everything! Only was disappointed that though I uploaded all my evidence numerically in the order I had put in my cover letter, in the finished application they are uploaded all jumbled...but at least they are numbered so should make it easy. Shrug.

Hi all, I'm so glad I found a September 2020 application thread! I applied on September 14 under the 5 years conditions and no longer married. I already have my ROC completed (thank god!) and now I'm starting again another long process but I hope it goes by nice and smooth for all of us. talking about the wait time, I see in my application that my estimated case competition time is 13 months and I should hear something back by October 31,2021 😬 well, let's see... good luck everyone!

I will be filing N-400 under 5 year rule now.   Uploaded the basics like, copy of GC, Marriage Contract, Birth Certificate of Child.  What else can I provide under "Additional Evidence you Want to Provide"?

Thank you!  I have only the tax transcripts from IRS website as of 2016-2019.  IRS  only show 3-year transcripts.  Hope this will work.

Does anyone know what that estimated wait time box is on the my.uscis.gov website? 

 

Mine says 1 day, so I'm assuming it's for the biometrics, but I'm not sure.

I applied on September 25th, now I'm thinking it's a mistake?? I will update when/if I get my biometrics letter.

Why does my form say it will be processed at National benefit center ?

 

and mailed you a receipt notice or acceptance notice. It is being processed at our National Benefits Center location. The notice describes how we will process your case.
