Hello!
I have my citizenship interview scheduled for next week. I submitted my application on paper and mailed it to USCIS. The shipping label was created on the earliest eligible date (according to the USCIS calculator), and it arrived at USCIS a day later. I did this to ensure I wasn’t filing early!
However, the receipt date on my USCIS notice is the same as the shipping label date, which is the earliest eligibility date. I've heard of cases where applications are denied for being filed on the earliest eligible date, so I’m concerned this might happen to me.
I have the USCIS receipt showing it arrived one day after the earliest eligible date and I plan to bring that to the interview. Do you think I can convince the officer by that which proves the receipt date on my USCIS notice is not accurate? If anyone has advice or insights on this situation, I’d really appreciate it!
