Filed N-400 electronically today 3/26/24

alrrady received notice they’ve received it as well as notification they’re reusing biometrics. Wife immigrated to the US in 2017 so we weren’t concerned with what day as she meets the requirements for the 3 year as well as 5 year requirement. Timeline for us looks to be about 7 months for everything to be finished.  Good luck everyone. 

I hope you chose the 5 year rule.  Good luck.   This is the easiest part of the immigration process.

I think we clicked on the 3 year. Either way we are over the minimum times for both. Longest part was scanning and renaming all the files to attach. I love the notice they’re reusing the biometrics and no refunding the money. Kinda like car insurance. Ya pay it and hope you don’t need it.  You’re right this was the easiest. From the 129 to the K1 AOS and ROC I’ve completed them all. The AOS and ROC I submitted a small novel. Always better to send more than less.

There is a big difference between evidence needed when applying under the 3 year rule or 5 year rule.

Oh I know. I scanned and attached enough documents to choke a horse. Tax transcripts, birth certificates of our kids etc etc. 5 year woulda been easier admittedly but can’t unring that bell now.

yea I did! Attached everything they asked for + 4 tax returns, bank statements, lease agreements, planned trip receipts, shared health, dental, vision insurance, car insurance, shared assets, and some other things. Basically the most important things we accumulated since filing I-751!

Hello! I'm applying online for N400 under 3 year rule, and I'm wondering how many bank statements and utility bills are needed? One for every month for the last three years, or less? Thank you!

My bank only allowed me to get last 18mos of statements, I ended up combining them into one document and submitted that. I didn’t submit any utility bills
