N-400 November 2021 Filers

[gnothiseauton123 8]

Starting a thread so us fellow November 2021 can get together and help each other.

 

Filed online under the 5 years rule on Nov. 1st in Atlanta GA. 

 

Good luck to you all!

What additional documents did you guys send in?

 

I submitted 5 years of tax return, bank statement, as well as drivers license and green card. Would love to see what more I can upload to USCIS.

[FOSSLGRL 63]

Right here! Just submitted online this afternoon.

 

Here are the documents I submitted: green card, 3 years tax returns, bank statements from three joint accounts, car insurance document, current rental lease, husbands divorce decree from prior marriage, our sons birth certificate, my stepchildren's birth certificates, husband's passport, marriage certificate, and I think that is all.

 

Really tried to avoid an RFE.

 

Also, I got a notice already that states I will not be required to attend a biometrics appointment, so that is nice. Fingers crossed that speeds things up for me. It says that the estimated processing time is 15 month but according to the VJ timelines, it looks to be about 10 months. Obviously I have no control over it, but my goal is to be a citizen by end of 2022.

Hey guys, 

I apply on November 2, 2021 based on 3 years of permanent resident and marriage to a US citizen. I decided to apply online and it was the easiest experience of my life. After making my payment my receipt number appears IOE estimated time 15 months, 30 minutes later my fingerprints were reused and estimated time changed to 11 months. The next morning my case changed to case is being actively reviewed by USCIS, estimated time changed to 7 months. On Saturday November 6 I received 2 letters in my mail, my receipt #  and fingerprints reused. 

 

Good luck to all

You are lucky, mine changed from 15 to 13 after fingerprints, then to 18 months the following morning for what reason.... I don't know? 

 

Edit: Spoke too soon, back to 13 months after just checking now. Still, 7 months would be better! Perhaps it varies on location....

Based on my research, all cases are processed at the NBC office, but the estimated time is based on your local office. 
For example, I live in Tennessee and here there are 2 local offices Nashville and Memphis, my zip code is 25 minutes from the Nashville office.

After NBC receives and processes my application, my package will be transferred to the local office closest to my address.

That's when that office will schedule the final interview as they have availability.

For that reason the times are very variable for each person.

I don't pay much attention to these times because each case is different.

This is my third round with immigration, the first was my adjustment of status estimated processing time was 14 months and it only took exactly 10 months.

The second was to remove the conditions of my residence, estimated time 9.5 months, it took exactly 11 months, I just received my 10 year green card October 30,2021 just in time to start my citizenship processes,

and now I have started a new wonderful and stressful adventure, but as in all the previous processes, the secret is to have patience and faith. 
I believe that USCIS is doing the best they can to process our cases in the best way, let's not lose our minds and give them time to do their job.

When we least expect it, our cases will be over and we will continue to build a better country and world for our future generations.

Hi, we seem to both be married to divorcees therefore I read up on a place where it requires their former partners names and addresses. Did you send any? Thanks

Mine changed to 11 months from 15 after they notify me that i can use my previous biometric data. Best of luck to you!

 

Edit: went back to check myUSCIS and it was updated to 13 months. Oh welp. My greencard expires in April 2024 and i'm glad that there is still time. *fingers crossed*

I love your positive outlook and perception too. Best of luck!
