I was under impression service centers don't process N-400s.

Must be NBC?

I filled online and got a reuse biometrics notice the same day. On the reuse notice it shows the service center is NBC. The case is still showing 7 months.

Hey Guys, I am so glad I found this forum. Sorry for the LONG post!

 

I will be eligible to file N-400 on 17th September under the 3 Years US Citizen Spouse rule. I have already started filling out the form and aiming to submit by sept end or oct mid.

I had a couple of questions? Thank you in advance for your help!!

1. For the IRS transcript do we submit the account transcript or return transcript or BOTH? I just realized I had only submitted account transcript when I was filing I-751 last year? hope that's not gonna be a problem.

2. I had already submitted documents until last year for I-751 in Sep. 23. the form n400 states to provide 3 years of proof for everything? so do I submit everything again? or just the evidence from Sep-23 to current? (for eg: I submitted quarterly statement of our joint account during I751 do I do it again for past 3 years?)

3. Do I have to fill out Crimes and offenses section as Yes? Attaching a SS below because there are 2 questions?  I Never got arrested but I've had a couple of tickets. 2020: Crash(car slipped no one involved) still got a ticket for driving too fast for the weather (Illinois)  or something, a speeding ticket in Georgia. 2023: 1. minor crash front ended someone, 2. Failed to yield (stop sign) ticket. (Georgia). I think speeding is a crime in Georgia I am not really sure what to do with this section.

 

 

 

Here is rough checklist which I have currently

Evidence:

1. Quarterly Statements for past 3 years

2. Lease for 2021,2022 (2023) we got a house but that is just under my name no nothing for 2023 or should I still add something for 2023?, 2024 (we have rented out the house, living in apartment again so I do have the Lease with both our names for 2024

3. Health, Auto, Dental, Vision Insurance, Rental Insurance. (2021-current)

4. Tax transcripts

Additional Evidence:

To be honest I don't know what to add? I-751 I remember adding tickets of our trips and uploading 10-12 photos, affidavit letters from 2 of my family members, it was quite a pile I remember It couldn't fit in a envelope and had to send it out in a box.

Do I do the same here? Because I have heard n400 is usually not that intense any inputs would be appreciated!

USPS tracking says N400 application delivered September 6 to the USCIS PO Box but still havent had check cashed or e-notification that I requested. 😕 Making me concerned that USPS lost it and lied about delivery.

This Monday was the Labor Day holiday, so I am guessing the processing speed is affected by that...

It takes 8-10 weeks to get receipts for any cases filed by mail lately

Burden of proof is higher in 751 than N400. Two defferent beasts . 

 

U can submit same evidence u submited for 751 . To establish your relationship

Theoretically yes, practically N-400 is the last "gate" to immigration benefit that's hard to revoke e.g. citizenship.

I'd treat N-400 very seriously and submit as much evidence as possible.

There's two camps of people. One camp believes in only submitting new evidence since filing I-751. And for most of people, it worked just fine.

 

The second camp believes following form instructions to the T. If it says all evidence since start of marriage, submit all evidence. USCIS would have zero chance of arguing you didn't submit enough evidence in this case. What does it cost to print it all? $50, $100, $200? For me those are reasonable costs of prepping the strongest case are justified. If it's about online filing, what are we even talking about, since it's digital and there is no cost of printing? No brainer to go all in for me...

Yes, but it does go to an office sooner or later. You go by the office's estimate for N-400 completion.  For Cleveland it's 6 months. 

[Skyman 318]

Ok, so finally got enough ducks in a row to apply online.  Receipt and reuse received in minutes.

Just filed N-400 online earlier today.

Haven't received an NOA yet.

 

I also sent a packet a little under two weeks ago to amend my existing I-751 joint case filed 13 months ago, adding a Battery/Extreme Cruelty waiver (428 pages).

I haven't been notified of anything on the amendment of my I-751 yet, so I imagine I might not receive my N-400 NOA before they check that my I-751 amendment request is duly registered.
