Formg G-1145

[Pucca23 0]

Hello

I will send my N-400 application by usps priority mail to the Dallas Lockbox.

Do I need to fill out the form G-1145 E-notification of application/petition acceptance and add to my N-400 application?

Thank you

thanks

You don't need to, but it's free and means you'll be told when things change in your case, so why not?

You can also type in your receipt number at:

https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard.do;jsessionid=bacRGdOd3JIWI42VqhS2t

Then drive yourself nuts checking it every five minutes.

Found it best just to send in a personal check, check my account and print both sides of that check and file it as proof they received the application. Then carefully check my mail, in particular to open junk mail that stated "unOFFICIAL GOVERNMENT MAIL". Well, nothing from the USCIS today, maybe tomorrow. Most important thing was getting on with our lives. Not very many field offices update that above mentioned site or even use it. Our processing dates were like twelve months. Can't pay attention to that either.

When those letters to finally come, hmmm, how is the weather for that long trip to biometrics, when that interview letter comes it, time to gather all that original evidence and study for the civics test, check with your employer to make sure you can get that day off. Figure out what to wear, and learn how to sleep at night without concerns about that interview again.

The G-1145 only works for the initial receipt of the package. After that they need to set up alerts online.

I thought they'd do that with my application, as they previously even would print a number similar to that of a case number. However, I think nowadays they process checks as an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and keep the check as an authorization..that's what they did with my check for N400.
