N400 next week. Guidance on current package

 Share

7 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I have my N400 next week. I am under the 3 year rule, my I751 is still pending and my interview notice makes no mention of a combo interview. I will take the wife anyway just encase

 

Here is what I plan to take

 

Listed on N400 letter

N400 letter 

Green card

Passports

Marriage cert

Spouse birth cert

Selective service......I came to the US when I was 31 so I am out of the window for selective service. 

 

Other

ROC evidence package that was originally submitted

proof of marriage since then : Tax returns, deeds on house in joint name, car and medical insurances in both names, bank accounts in both names

 

I feel like the above is enough. My ROC interview was a breeze so hoping this one goes the same way. That said, is there anything else I should include in the above?

 

Thanks

Assuming this is a typo, I would say everything you're bringing is correct.

 

I was in the same boat: received an N400 interview notice with a very short list of required documentation to bring with me and no mention of ROC interview (spoiler alert: the officer did not ask to see any of it).

 

Like you, I brought my husband and my ROC packet with me just in case. Hopefully this is where our case similarities end, and you actually get a combo interview unlike me, and don't have to wait much longer.

Yes. Typo, thanks for letting me know. I meant my AOS interview was a breeze.

I also didn’t get the combo one but I added my Extension letter for the I-751 on my documents for the N-400. The agent didn’t not interview me for the ROC, he approves without interview. My husband was with me in case my he (USCIS agent) told me that everything was fine and just I just did the Naturalization one.

 

I hope they do the same with you.

 

Good luck

My wife had a similar situation and she brought all the information requested on the N400 interview NOA.  The IO did conduct a brief RoC interview with the both of us, then did the N400 with my wife alone.  Also, like @.yana, the IO did not ask to see any of the information my wife brought.

 

Good Luck!

Good idea.  I was notified by email just 2 days prior to wife's N-400 interview that my presence was required (although we had prepared for a combo just in case).

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..

Today was the day. 

 

Arrived with the wife and was told at the door she could not enter and had to wait in the car. When the officer saw me he said it would be a joint interview ROC and N400 and that I needed to grab her.

 

The interview was quick, smooth and the officer was very friendly. He did say I could take the oath today if I wanted too. The only problem with that is that I have a trip coming up in 2 weeks. He did say he thinks I would be OK travelling with just a copy of the citizenship certificate, I was not soo sure. The oath is now going to be scheduled upon my return to the USA.

 

Some might call me mad for not taking the oath then and there and getting it over with. The trip I just could not move. 

 

I am almost done. I did everything myself from the K1 through to N400 with the help of this forum. 

 

Crazy Cat & Rocco are a great asset to this forum.
