yes, i did type the asterisk as it is one of the 13 characters they ask for. i guess it is what warlord thinks it is

i received a receipt for n400 processing. however, i have been unable to track the case. i got the error "Case Status Retrieval Failed." Is that normal or something may be wrong? Has anyone had that before?

i had an infopass appointment. my i-551 was extended for 6 months only. do they not usually extend it for 12 months or more? i wonder why it is 6 months in my case.

their site says nine month is no longer enough: "Average processing times for certain application types may be longer. In particular, naturalization applications filed after June 1, 2007 may take approximately 16-18 months to process"

Hello,

I've got a question for all of you recent NSC filers. My wife is now eligible to file for naturalization. The earliest I will file, however, is SEP 08 because we've got some trips in and out of the US between now and then. We will also be moving next year, around MAY-JUNE 09. So from SEP 08 - MAY 09 is the window I've got at our current address and service center (Nebraska) to file. 9 months total.

I am not familiar with the normal processing times for NSC for N-400s. The question is, is 9 months enough time? That would include everything, from the day I mail the first packet until the day we are completely finished and she is a US citizen? If that's not enough time, I'm going to wait until after we move because I don't want to have to go through another change of address/change of service center again in the middle of an application.

Thanks.

you can activate notifications over the email. then, if your case is approved the system will notify you automatically. this way you can just have it forwarded to your cell phone and always know if you were approved or not. also, i think there is no sense checking between friday night and monday morning. they are closed then and nothing happens, right?

when you do biometrics for citizenship will they require a stamp in the passport, so do i have to get that first or are the expired papers good enough?

is there a sense to apply for citizenship if it can't be approved before i-751 is approved? and yes it is my green card extension that is expiring (it has been 3 years since the time i was admitted to the us)

what is the sense of applying for citizenship if you cannot submit a valid resident card? don't you have to have proofs that conditions have been removed first?

i got a noa upon filing i-751 about my resident card extension. but it has been a year and this is about to expire. what do people usually do when their noa "expires"? do i need to do anything in advance? what to do if you have to get a new job or need proofs of legal status for something else?

You can file for citizenship, if that's something you want to do.

guy from russia, read the instruction on i-751 (removal of conditions) form and the instruction on n-400 form (citizenship). also visit uscis.gov and search for removal of conditions. these three sources will answer all of your questions. you will spend 2-3 hours, but you will find what you are looking for.

also, i hope you realize that the noa expired in 1 year from the date of the expiration of the conditional GREENCARD and not 1 year from the date of the NOA.

yes, you should apply because your I-751 will be automatically adjudicated by the USCIS officer who will be reviewing your citizenship application.

can't really find an appropriate selection for an appointment. also how long would it take?

whoever did biometrics, please tell me how long it took. i have to be at work in 2 and a half hours after the appontment, so i need to know whether i will have enough time.

as far as i understand only i have to go, not my spouse?

hi, thanks a lot. it was really helpful. it does not really say what kind of mail service you can use. they used to have information on different centers and different kinds of petitions separately. i guess they redesigned their site

uscis service centers sites used to have information on how to arrange papers and what kinds of mail you can use. do they not have that information anymore?
