  1. I just did my interview in Phoenix office and I thought I'd share. It took me a little less than 7 months. When you arrive, there will be plenty of parking, and they will let you in 30 minutes before the interview. When you go in with the officer, they get your fingerprint from both of your index fingers, then the officer would ask you to raise your right hand to pledge that you wouldn't lie. For me they confirmed my name, address, date of birth, marital status, etc. from the start (i guess to confirm that it is me?). The officer asked civics questions, reading and writing (very easy), and started asking questions on Part 12 from N400. Make sure you listen to questions carefully because most of the answers will be no (unless you did anything), but it becomes yes when you are asked about your duties as a citizen. I had additional out of country trips since my application, but they already had it in the system. I had to update my employment and my title, and thank god I brought my document. They didn't take it but wrote down the name and address of my new job. I think your paystub, W-2, verification letter/offer letter would suffice as long as it contains those info... They didn't ask me why I wanted to become a citizen, my previous address, or definitions.. but I speak English fluently and I was even having a small talk before the interview. They told me to wait outside and they gave me a letter that my oath was scheduled at a courthouse, so no same day ceremony, but overall it was a breeze. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. I found US Citizenship Test. Org Youtube very helpful (I'm not affiliated). I watched the interview, and practice 100 civics questions from Youtube so that I can listen to the questions. Thier mock interview videos were on point. https://www.youtube.com/c/USCitizenshipTestOrg
  2. It is now 90 days before the 5 year mark since I got the conditional green card in 2018 (now I am an LPR)We’ve been married for 6, been living together for past 3 consecutive yrs til now. Can I file N400 under a 5 year rule? Or should I do it under 3 year rule? if I can do it under 5 year rule, do I still need to provide marriage certificate, tax transcript, rent agreement, ownership of assets, etc because my nature of green card was through marriage?
  3. I guess this post is a rant. I got a conditional green card in 2018, then applied for the actual green card in 2020. I was informed that no matter what I do, I have to wait for 5 years, and that the 3-year timeline starts once I lift the conditional approval from my green card (so 3 years from 2020). I don’t know if I missed the changes in law, or if I was just massively misinformed, but I just realized today that I could have applied for n400 in 2021. I only found out because I was preparing for n400 application, and one of the question in the very beginning was “I married for 3 years..” or something so it got me start looking. I guess my question is… at this point, what do I select for the basis of citizenship application? Should I select that I’ve been a GC holder for 5 years? Or been married for at least 3 yesrs?
