N-400 should I apply now?

[MisisHilaga 0]

Hi All,

 

I need your opinion. I filed 1-751 last Nov. 2021 and until now (October 2023) it shows 'fingerprint has taken'. So basically, I don't have my 10yr green card yet and I have 48months extension letter. My husband and I are travelling overseas in January. I'm hesitant that if I file my N-400 now, I might have schedule in January for interview while we're overseas. I know that we can always re-schedule an interview or any appointment with USCIS but if I can avoid having it to re-schedule then I'd go for that. 

 

So should I wait maybe late December to file my N-400 or, just do it now?

 

Also, if I apply with still pending I-751, and for filing N-400 you need to send a copy of your Green Card, should I also send the extension letter?

 

Thank you!!

I would plan to file the day you return from your trip to avoid any possible biometrics appointments, or even an interview as some local offices are very fast.  Yes, when you apply you will need to submit a photocopy of your green card.  I don’t see a requirement to include a copy of the extension letter, but you can scan and upload it if filing online.

 

Good Luck!

Not required but I would include copy of extension letter to make sure reviewer is aware you have I-751 pending.
