Hi all, my husband is going to file his N-400 online today. He already completed the form and attached all evidence—we’re just going to do a final check and pay/submit tonight. He became eligible under the 3 year rule in April this year so not early filing. Looking forward to keeping in touch!

Filing after anniversary in many cases is a safer option that filing in 90 day early filing window, especially those who came on IR-1 / CR-1 visa. Good luck!

Filed today under 3 year rule, although currently seeing "Error retrieving case status. We are having trouble retrieving your case status. Try again later.". Others have posted before about this coming up when their system is down. We'll see.

If you know your case number, you can always check status here https://egov.uscis.gov/ without logging in to MyUSCIS. It is more reliable and convenient, at least for me.

Biometrics completed today in Elizabeth, NJ. Very straight-forward, only took a few minutes. Now to wait for a few months, I'm guessing.
