Hey guys!

 

Even though we already knew biometrics were waived from the document online, we did receive a paper copy of the notice to reuse fingerprints in the mail on Monday (7/24).

 

Now we wait!

Is the biometrics waiver only for applicants who are removing or removed conditions already? Or is it for all applicant? 

I am not removing conditions and my biometrics are being reused as well.

Ok update

applied on July 7th

received notice July 8th 

biometrics appointment scheduled for August 16.

I am surprised they scheduled your biometrics. I wonder why they don’t reuse it. If you don’t mind me asking, when did you receive your green card?

Ok so my case is different.

I applied for citizenship 14 days after entering USA as a permanent resident 

 

Entered USA on June 23rd just last month

Received social security July 7th 

 

US citizen husband received a job offer that’s hard to say no to and have to start work in august!

After an online search we found out I’m eligible for Expedited Naturalization and I applied immediately even though I haven’t even received my actual green card in the mail yet.

 

expedited citizenship is for the spouses of United States citizens employed by certain employers overseas, to expedite their applications for citizenship and naturalize without having to meet the residency requirements normally required to become a United States citizen.

 

My IR1 interview was on march 6th this year but I don’t remember biometrics taken.

 

ideally it’s better to wait to get biometrics done then fly out of the country but we couldn’t wait and already left USA since i don’t mind flying back and forth for biometrics and interview/oath appointments.

Just joining the group.

 

Filing today 7/31. 5 year rule. I could have applied 3 months ago. Got GC through marriage, but got divorced after 4 years. Hoping things move fairly quickl!

 

10/12/2017 | Married! (L)

10/30/2017 | I-130 Package sent via UPS to USCIS. Was initially going to do consular processing.

11/06/2017 | NOA1 Priority Date Nov 6, 2017

12/06/2017 | AOS package sent (EAD, and AP as well). I decided to do concurrent filing/ AOS instead of consular processing. The lawyer I consulted scared me initially about AOS and that concurrent is more a sure thing, but I already work here in US under TN and did not enter with intent to marry.

12/11/2017 | AOS package received and received NOA1 for them all about a week later

12/30/2017 | Biometrics Appointment letter received 

01/08/2018 | Biometrics Appointment

01/12/2018 | RFE Received. (I forgot to have my husband sign the affidavit of support. Seriously OMG. I looked everything over 20 times.) Mailed the signed page back 01/13/2018.

01/25//2018 | RFE received. Case update says they will now continue reviewing my case. I was worried I would be sent to back of the line because of the RFE, but it didnt because 6 days later it changed to ready to interview!

01/31/2018 | Online- "case is ready to be scheduled!" Yipee!

02/10/2018 Online case update Interview date May 1!!!!

Yes, your case is different, but I hope you get your naturalization quickly!
