    I just filed N-400. Because I had a spreadsheet of travel since becoming LPR that I kept up to date, answering questions related to travel was easy.
  14. OldUser
    Case got filed by lawyer. General provision (5 year rule), within 90 day early filing window. Got a one time key to link representative (lawyer) to my account. Once linked, was able to see N-400 case in the list of cases. Got electronic copy of receipt notice immediately, as well as biometrics reuse. All copies of submitted forms (G-28, N-400) are also available online for download. Overall - lawyer's questionnaire contained extra questions that weren't relevant to N-400 such as parents names and their DOB, spouse's employment etc. Looks like they use the same questionnaire for AOS and other types of forms. N-400 itself was easier to complete (I tried myself with test account) then answer their questionnaire 😃 Not complaining, lawyer did a great job communicating back and forth with me correcting forms after reviewing, even though it was during holiday period. I had to ask to include tax return transcripts for the past 5 years. Those got added in additional evidence section. I must admit, N-400 online form is much better than I thought few years ago. Now waiting, not paying attention to estimates etc since they're all wrong. Good luck to all December 2024 filers!

    I could bet it won't be 2 weeks!

    Sad and true! I hear of people naturalizing with estimate showing "7 months to decision" on the day of their oath.

    You get interviewed for visa. Once birth is given, your kid may be a US citizen and you'd need to go through CRBA route to get them US passport.

    The thing is, each case is unique and there are many variables... For example, my AOS was relatively fast, around 8.5 months. I was lucky, somebody who filed few weeks after me, probably was affected due to COVID. I got appoved few days before the lockdown started. With I-751, the processing time was 7 months when I filed, but I ended up waiting 20.5 months. All cases in my batch were delayed by 4-5 months. Somebody I know filed case 2 weeks after me and got approved 5 months before me.

    Estimates are largely inaccurate. You can safely ignore it.

    USCIS used to be more forgiving in general. For example, you could send the forms with 0 evidence and get RFE later in the process. Right now if you do it, you'll likely get denial or NOID. Personally, I always sent the strongest packet I could from the get go including everything, but not everybody does it. The changes make sense.

    1 check with total is fine. At least that's how lawyer paid for my AOS and I-751.
  30. OldUser
    If you can avoid paying with credit card, I'd rather pay with personal check or money order. Too many stories of cards flagging charges as fradulent and packet is rejected... If I understand correctly, you only need one G-1450 if filing everything together.
  31. OldUser
    Yes, I corrected my answer as soon as I posted it. Thank you though.
  32. OldUser
    Also, to OP, you may want to also file I-131 with I-485 on paper and definitely I-693, unless you have completed DS-3026 with all vaccinations! Without medical, your I-485 will be rejected.
  33. OldUser
    Yes of course. Just file both on paper and send within one packet.
  34. OldUser
    Estimated processing times under MyProgress tab are a joke. Do not believe it, they're known to be super inaccurate.
  35. OldUser
    This is normal. Things with immigration take time as you might have seen already.
