The credit card debate has gone on for years. It's up to each individual to decide what is best for them and how risk-averse they are. Personally, I don't think what type of card you have factors in w

That's quick. Congratulations !

Yeah, it was pretty quick.

 

I don't know if it has anything to do with it and it's pure speculation but I wonder if it helped that we kept it pretty light with the evidence.

Compared to some of the folders I have seen on here, ours was pretty thin and just the bare essentials that were listed. At the time I was kinda nervous, because I had seen those massive folders that some people were filing, but I guess it worked.

I'd say it's pure luck. Can never advice sending bare minimals as RFEs are pretty common for I-751s

Agree.  I don't think fewer pieces of evidence for an I-751 is an advantage.  I would opt for more rather than less when it comes to an I-751.

IT Professional- Retired- Web Site Design, Hardware Maintenance, Compound Pharmacy Software Trainer, On-site go live support, Database Manager, App Designer.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Well, bare minimum was maybe the wrong term. I just stuck to their guidelines and didn't send in anything that wasn't asked for. For example, I heard of people sending in 24 monthly joint bank account statements. I just sent in the first and the last I think. That's what I meant. But yeah, I could be wrong.

You're fortunate that didn't trigger RFE. Sending incomplete or seldom statements is one if the ways people get RFEs.

Again, I sent in everything that they asked for. So it was not incomplete. Anyways, forget what I said everyone ;)

I honestly think it has more to do with the fact that you got the National Benefits Center... Looking at different timelines, they generally seem to process I-751s quicker than the other service centers.

Agreed! I know there are many different opinions on this but I would rather drown them in evidence than give them bits and pieces to scrutinise and potentially decide they may not like what they are seeing or want more information or even want an interview. I have seen a few attorney blogs now that say to send every single piece of evidence USCIS doesn't have yet with both names on it and let them decide how much of each type of evidence they want to use. 

Too much evidence is going to be better than not enough every single time. 

 

Side note - We are approaching 200 approved March 2023 cases now! making progress...slowly but surely :)
