I - 751 January 2022 Filers

[Sarge2155 4,584]

Filed the N-400 on the 5th of January 2023 got the bio reuse and receipt notice a few hours after submitting the N-400 online. Filed the I-751 on January 6th 2022, they reused the bio-metrics for the ROC too. I got a notice in the online account today that the I-751 has bee transferred to another jurisdiction. Not sure where yet, but the notice said they would send a hard copy and let me know why it was transferred and I am assuming where it was transferred too. The N-400 according to the notice I received is at NBC. The initial center for the I-751 was the Dallas Center. So What I am saying is I am not sure if filing the N-400 while the I-751 is active kinda knocked something loose. I'll update further once I find out where the ROC is being transferred too!

Hopefully that's great news. I was doing some timeline digging and it seems like for a lot of applications interviews happen 4-6 months after the N400 is received/case is transferred. Hope you'll have a speedy resolution Sarge, although I'll miss you around here!

Ooooh that will be me in a month! What evidence did you submit with the N400?

Bank statements, Insurances, utility bills, front and back GC, taxes 3 years worth (transcripts), NOA for  I -751, BC for  spouse citizen, divorce  decrees if applicable, children's BCs of NON US citizen (even though they are grown and on their own), mortgage statement letter explaining why non US citizen is not on deed and letter requesting a combo interview. Be advised bank statements  and utility bills are dated from ROC submission date to submission date of N400. We will handcarry all documents to the interview dated from N400 submission to interview date and prior. Easy uploads just time consuming.

I recommend you scan ALL documents beforehand  and store on your pc in one folder so you know where they are. Makes an orderly upload.

Thank you so much for the tip!! Yes I have already been uploading some documents to my Drive, such as IRS tax returns. 
My window opens on January 29th. However I’m thinking of waiting to submit to have our 2022 taxes, although not mandatory. 
So far we have: 

joint deed

joint taxes

Joint health insurance x2

joint car insurance x2

joint utility bills 

joint bank statements 

Letter requesting combo interview 

 

We will file by mail. I have a stepson (he’s a USC) and my understanding is that the online system doesn’t distinguish between step and bio kids and I’d have to upload his BC. I don’t want to do that.

Yes the N-400 does distinguish, the N-400 ask you point blank what relationship the children are to you i.e, step, biological but it does ask. The US citizen does not have to list their children it only ask for the NON US citizens children (under the 3 year rule) so any children you list will belong to the NON US citizen. The form also asks for their addresses. Mailing IMO is counterproductive but I understand to each is own. When you file online you get instant feedback, through the mail you have to wait!

Ooooh ok that’s good to know! I have not tried to file yet so I just go by what people say in here. 
Do you know if you can save the application and finish it later? Because I might try to file online but if I get stuck I can just continue by mail?

Awesome! Do you know if you can actually start to fill it out prior to your window opening?

I believe you can. It asks you a couple of questions prior to starting the process for eligibility purposes (when you first got your permanent residence, are either of your parents US Citizens, etc.) but regardless of whether it tells you if you are eligible or not I think it's just for guidance purposes and doesn't actually prevent you from moving forward with the application.

Yes you can save it and log out. You have up to 30 days of inactivity before they delete it.

Yes I think so too it does ask questions about your LPR dates, but I'm not sure if it will let you proceed if you do not qualify. Also your uploads are geared to the answers you give to the questions. Example if you answer you were married before one of the uploads must be a divorce, annulment or death certificate showing the prior marriage was terminated.

Very similar to my plan. A just have one giant ROC folder that I plan to reuse all the PDFs from for N400. Hoping it's a bit less painless.

 

So you didn't do the entirety of past 3yrs of living together, just net new material since ROC submission?
