The online N-400 filing is pretty robust and I wonder if it is for everyone who is eligible to file for naturalization. I would be eligible for naturalization in few months and I would absolutely file it with pending I-751. Some VJ users who filed online for N-400 reported that it took them under 4 months to get the citizenship. This is excellent. Thanks 

How do you file the N-400 online? I've seen this mentioned but haven't been able to find any information about it.

Removal of Conditions:

2016-09-27: I-751 removal of conditions petition sent (with fee waiver request)

2016-09-30: I-751 petition delivered to California Service Center

2016-11-01: Informed in USCIS customer service call that they had no record of receiving our petition, but that it might still be languishing somewhere in fee waiver limbo

2016-11-01: Filed I-751 again, this time with payment check instead of fee waiver request (sent Priority Express)

2016-11-03: Date on I-797 Notice of Action (received 11/7)

2016-11-09: USCIS mailed out denial of our original fee waiver request, with denial letter dated 2016-11-02

2016-11-19: Biometrics appointment notice issued, for 2016-12-07 appointment

2016-11-26: Second biometrics appointment notice issue, for 2016-12-16 appointment (see this thread)

2016-12-07: Biometrics appointment. Allowed to complete biometrics despite mix-up on their end (again see this thread), but some people had to come back for second appointment date.

2018-05-01: Notice that our case was transferred to National Benefits Center in Lee's Summit, MO

2018-06-11: Approved after N-400 interview in Portland, OR (they seemed to be waiting for that before bothering with it)

 

Citizenship:

2017-12-11: N-400 Application for Naturalization submitted online while still waiting to hear back on I-751, received same day

2017-12-15: Biometrics notice

2018-01-04: Biometrics completed, on appointment date (Portland, OR)

2018-02-28: Interview scheduled for April 12 in Portland, OR

2018-03-01 (approximate): We sent in a letter requesting that the interview be rescheduled to after June 8, due to combination of work and family travel plans

2018-03-07: Notice that our April 12 interviewed had been "canceled" (pending rescheduling, but the letter didn't actually say that; officer at InfoPass later explained that interviews aren't scheduled until five or six weeks before the interview date, so they were waiting until closer to our requested rescheduling window)

2018-05-03: New interview scheduled for June 11.

2018-06-11: Citizenship interview - approved!

I went in for my infopass. my infopass appointment was in Atlanta and I tried for a couple of days to get the appointment and on the weekends as well I tried at like 12 am but I think they give it out in Friday or sat nights on the weekend. So I Tried at 12am Monday morning (Sunday night) and there were tons of options for a Monday 14 days from then. So the trick for Infopass is to login late at night or early morning. I carried my apt letter + green card + passport + i751 noa + ID card. Anyway once I went in they told me my extension expired from date of green card so it wasn’t expired. But I pointed out that georgia won’t recognize that as my id expires 1 year from noa date. he was ok with giving me the stamp and I also told

him I’m traveling in dec  so he gave me a 120 days stamp. He also checked my status and told me my case is apporoved and card has been sent for production on 10/27 but my status online on Uscis still doesn’t say that. He said I should receive card in 2 weeks.

So I am on this NO dignity journey that is so stressful and shitty path hitting almost the 4th anniversary of my marriage. We can't even plan for my life, We can't decide if we should buy a house or or or. I don't even Know if they will say tomorrow: Hey you are out. The situation is really really bad  and I feel I can't deal with this waiting anymore, we deserve to know what is going on with our applications, I pay big amount of taxes every paycheck , we follow the law and pay money to file these applications.. and every time new application we need to collect million papers from Banks, employers, ...

 

it's crazy and insane and when you call them they say it's within the processing time. My driver license gonna expire soon  and then I have to go to DMV and deal with them again, last time i had to explain for them the whole immigration process.

 

I don't know , I am sorry but I swear it's is ridicules process

was your online status showing that your GC is approved?

No it’s not showing approved yet. It still shows the old message your fees are waived.

I often wonder what is the point of even having an USCIS account to check your status.   I feel it should be updated to reflect everything, be it an RFE, change of address, interview etc. I see my case was last touched in March and I can only assume it was because I had to rearrange my biometrics, so I guess the only way you can tell is the date that the case was last touched.

Removal of Conditions..  TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK

 

Time to reset the tick tock clock again.   Roll my eyes.

During the process of my AOS, they are consistent in updating my online account but for ROC they don't do that. Makes me wonder why, maybe because the Chicago Lock-box is processing the AOS and they are more consistent than CSC and VSC?

They didn't update mine for AOS all it kept saying is your fingerprint fee has been received.  They didn't even update until after I had received my green card.
