N 400 checklist and a few questions

[PDXDD 28]

I hope you guys are having a fabulous day! Thanks ahead for the help! 

 

Here is our story:

My ROC is still pending and we are running out of the patience. Since this year July 25th will be the 3rd anniversary of the green card, my husband and I decide to start the journey of N 400.  We are planning to send the package on 26th April. I kinda remember we can apply 90 days prior the anniversary date. Is that correct?   Also, will pending ROC be an issue here? 

 

We''ve collected quite a bit of evidence and documents during these years. However, as far as I understand, we do not need to present all the documents until the N 400 interview ? 

 

Anyways, here is our checklist, please let us know if we are missing something!

 

· My completed form N-400

· Form G-1145 E-notification of Application Acceptance

· Two identical color photos

· A photocopy of both sides of my Permanent Resident Card

· A check in the amount of $725 made payable to US Department of Homeland Security

· A copy of my spouse birth certificate & passport photo and signature pages

· Our marriage certificate

· A copy of the divorce decree from my spouse’s prior marriage

· Joint IRS tax transcripts for years 2015, 2016, and 2017.

· Joint health insurance since 2015

· A copy of joint ownership of our current address: property deed and annual property tax assessments since 2015

· 6 official joint bank account statements of XXX from January 2015 to the Present

· 7 monthly statements of our joined credit card account from 2016 to present

· 4 monthly statements of our joined XXX BANK account from 2015 to present

We filed online and were really happy we did.  Within two days my husband received notification of his biometrics appointment.  I'm not sure if it is available to you, but I'd definitely check it out.  Because we did file online, there were several things that we didn't have to worry about (it already calculated our eligible filing date, it allowed us to upload our documents, when we filled out the application, it didn't show us the questions we didn't need to answer and it charged us  the correct amount...).

 

To answer your question, though, yes the date is 90 days prior to your three year anniversary of being a permanent resident.  We have a pending ROC and have read in many places on this site that it is completely acceptable to have two pending applications (ROC and naturalization).  Yes, we paid $725.00.  Being online, we paid with credit card.

 

I believe the two identical color photos are only if you live outside the US.  The rest of your paperwork looks good.

Thank you for the information.  I will definitely check online filing.
