N-400 January 2023 Filers

[Zach2015 211]

I am back. My wife filed her N400 today online. We filed for ROC back in December 2021, but our file was sent to Potomac which is a 24-26 month wait time. Our local office for N400 is 16 months. 

Sarge, how have you not passed us yet in the check out line?

I had a rough start back with the K1 in 2018, most of the folks that started their VJ during that time have all passed  me in the checkout line. I'm bringing up the rear!

Biometrics scheduled for Jan 26.  

 

So, what happens if I filed under the 3 year minus 90 days rule?  Can I still interview if they did schedule if it's before 3 years?

You can file 90 days prior to your anniversary date, but your interview for the N-400 will not be scheduled until you  have met the FULL requirements for the N-400 (3years, under the 3 year rule). Is that what you are asking?

Yup, filed a year ago.   It is at LIN, so not expecting anything anytime soon.

Same here. I am filling Jan 24th - my 90 days before three years is up is Jan 23rd. 

 

Anyone know what documents we need to upload when we are applying for citizenship based on Marriage?

Well another year another month of N-400 submissions.  This thread is for all of us that will be filing the N-400 in January 2023. Our window opens up January 3rd and we will be filing January 6th. Our ROC is still pending and was filed on January 6th 2022. Good work everyone getting to this point in your journey. Will post more once the N-400 has been filed on the 6th! Welcome to the thread!

My ROC was sent to Potomac as well. I filled Jan 2022... that office's processing time is ridiculous!

Exactly what I'm asking.  Thanks!  

 

Hopefully that doesn't cause a scheduling delay.  As I said, I didn't anticipate Houston to be trucking along so quickly!

According to USPS I can see two letters from USCIS coming today, they are from The NBC. The NBC is where my wife's N-400 is so I suspect one letter is the hard copy NOA.  Our Form I-751 was transferred on the 6th of January, so the other letter, must be the letter informing us of the ROC transfer and where it was sent. Both envelopes return addresses say NBC, so I suspect the ROC is there with the N-400. Hopefully that will facilitate a combo interview when it's time to schedule us. I'll post with more details as they become available.

This is what I sent, but your case is different. If you file online the N-400 will select some of the documents you need to send depending on the answers to the N-400 you give. Like I said this is what I sent for our case:

 

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 hand-carry 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.

Welcome to the thread!

Filed online on Jan 14th. ROC still pending and my window to apply under the 3 year rule opened on Dec 22.

They reused biometrics.

For now uploaded gc, marriage certificate,  wife's passport to show she is a US citizen, 2 years of irs transcripts (the third will be for 2022 when we file), final decree of divorce from her previous marriage and a ticket for when we had a trip last year.

Basic stuff really since I will have to bring everything in the interview anyway.

I filed! January 17 is my filing date. Checking case status it shows 16 months 😬

 

I am very concerned about this due to my criminal history but I'm hoping and praying that with the amount of time since the incident and collecting character references as well as having a family I will be ok.
