Six years after beginning my immigration journey, I officially became a US citizen today. I want to thank this community for all the support I received throughout this process. To everyone still going through this journey, I wish you the best of luck - your time will come!

Hello, I have a question but haven't found an answer yet. Can I extend the Noa2 but the reason is not because there is not a date available for the interview but because I have exams at university I want to finish before moving to the USA. So I would book my interview after my dateline? Is that possible?

Hello everyone again! I just want to say that I love this community, guys. You helped me through my immigration journey every time I needed it. You are great!

So on January 26 i ended up filing N-400 to become citizen by myself with no lawyer, today February 14 after less than 3 weeks i got notification that my interview is being scheduled already and i was like whaat!?

I did check the processing time for my center, and it is of 7.5 months, so I was very confused about why they are scheduling so early, but I was expecting to be scheduled around July, but apparently I have been scheduled for March 21, so less than 2 months after I applied!

I am kind of shocked at the moment; what is going on? Does this mean that after the interview they are going to let me wait months for the oath ceremony? I did not even start study yet because i thought i had way more time for this xD Does anyone have an explanation for this?

Please do not arrive any earlier than 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. The proceeding can take about two hours.

Hi everyone, thanks as always for your help! Quick question how likely is it that an expedite request for an I-130 petition will be approved if the U.S. citizen spouse receives a job offer in the U.S.? We are currently living together in Italy!

Applying N-400 With Speeding Ticket That Originally Was for Reckless Driving, Should i Use a Lawyer?

Background:

Married with a US citizen in December 2018

Received Green Card in November 2019

Filed I-751 (To Remove Condition of Marriage) in August 2021

Divorced and applied for bona fide marriage in August 2023

Condition Removed (Without Interview) in September 2024

Applying for N-400 Now:

Hello everyone, and thanks to whoever is going to take their time to read this and give me any suggestions. I am at the end of the application for the N-400 at the moment. I am applying as a general provision since I have had my green card for more than 5 years, so the thing gets a little bit tricky at the end when it asks me if I have ever been cited or in jail. Well, in August 2020, I was stopped by police because I was speeding. For them, I was going 20 mph over the limit. In North Carolina, that is considered reckless driving and is a Class 2 misdemeanor. I was not going 20 mph over the limit, and in fact, I was smart enough to hire a lawyer that followed me; the case for reckless driving was dismissed and reduced to a regular speeding ticket as the velocity was reduced to actually only 9 mph over the limit.

All this has been notified to USCIS in my application for the I-751, with the court paper of that case. I guess it was not an issue for the USCIS at all since they approved my I-751 without an interview (3 years to do that), even if my wife and I got divorced and I had to hire another immigration lawyer to ask for a bona fide marriage.

So I read on this forum that in general if you have a ticket, it is ok to file the application yourself without a lawyer, but if you committed a crime or a misdemeanor, it is suggested to hire a lawyer to follow the case just to be sure. Well, I feel I am kind of in the middle, and I am kind of scared since it would be my first time to file any immigration application by myself, and I do not want to this up right in the end. Do you think I should file myself? In that case, should I put in the application that is a regular speeding ticket and attach the court paper that says so?
