Submit N-400 timeline

Recommended Posts

I’ll be eligible to submit N-400 in 30days based on the 3 year minus 90 days rule. I’m planning to submit online.
 

I did a little research, there seems to be some potential system bug that VJs always recommend to file the application  2-3 days later after the window is open. 
 

I have one question hopefully someone can help:  since the online application draft can be saved for 30days, can I start the application now to get everything ready, and hit submit button 2-3 days later after the window is open? Or should I just wait until window is open, and then start to prepare/file the application?

 

Any inputs will be appreciated! Thank you!

Sure, the bug that seems to affect the submission date is related to the Submit.  You can start drafting your application, but I agree with the overall recommendation to wait a few days before hitting submit to avoid any hiccups.

 

Good Luck!

So I think this is an intriguing question and perhaps explains why some people submit on day 90 without a problem and others still get hit with it.

Yeah maybe, I can’t really see the pattern why some people had issues but others didn’t, don’t have enough data to support. It could be time zone difference, system update frequency issue, or potentially application was too early? …
