How did you all organize your files? My stack is about 4 inches thick already and that is not including everything yet. I am still waiting on a couple more documents to come plus I have not printed out our photos yet. I have read around here on VJ that USCIS does NOT recommend using ACCO file fasteners and folders. Is this true?

If so, can i just organize my documents by certain type and use a manila envelope for each and label them and put them all together with one big envelope? Not sure on what's the best way to go about this given that our stack of supporting evidence is already so thick!! Please help!

I used fasteners and divided our documents in three main sections. Used color tabs for sub divisions.

Hello everyone I also made a post in the May filers section. I sent our package on 5/31/16 to VSC and it arrived today 6/2. We used two-day delivery and a bubble cushion large envelope.

I mailed our package to VSC on 5/31/16 and it arrived today 6/2 per tracking notice. hope to see our check cashed soon.

Hello we mailed our package today morning should we be considered part of June or May?

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping to make it as part of the may filers. Tomorrow I will be working on assambleing our packet and had some quick questions.

Since I knew we would need bank statements down the line I've been collecting original ones for the past 2 years, can I send the originals? I don't need them and can always reprint online.

Also some of my credit card statements come in different paper size. I'm thinking I'll reprint those, but is there any rule as to the paper size our packet/copies should be?

And lastly I help my mother by paying her Pseg bills. This will show in my bank statement. Should I explain this in my cover letter?

Thanks for any help!

Regards,

Lau.

I had my interview there today. I was scheduled at 8:30 (arrived around 8:15) but they took me in at 9:10.

There was a girl sitting next to me (studying the civics book) who had been there before I arrived and I was called before her, when I got out she was still waiting to be called. She was called around 11:00, I know this because I was waiting for the Oath to take place.

I assume she arrived really early and just had to wait for her time, if not she should have been called before me.

The Oath took place at around 11:45 and then I was out.

Never posted in this site before. Just wanted to share my story...

I went today for my Interview in Newark, NJ it was scheduled for 8:30 (I arrived at 8:15) but was taken in around 9:10. The interview took around 20 minutes and then I was sent out to wait for the Oath which would take place at 11:30.

During the interview I was asked to verify information in the documents I filled and also how I came to be a Citizen. I was also asked questions about my parents and their current legal status and how that came to be(I found it odd to be asked this and in any case my oldest sister is a citizen and she petitioned my mom). The the civics test came and it was very simple, was asked to read something out loud and write something down.

One quick thing I want to ask. The lady that interviewed me said there were some discrepancies with the interview but said she would still would approve me. I think the issue came when she asked questions about how I became a resident. I told her that I really didn't know how that works because my father petitioned me when I was young and I never filled any papers for it (he had a lawyer for that). She corrected me and said my father didn't petition me but his wife at that time. She also asked me if I had ever lived with them (my Dad and his wife) and I said no, because I have only lived with my mom. She looked a little puzzled after that, could it be that somewhere in there it said that I lived with my father? Who knows.

Anyways...

I took the Oath and I am citizen now so those discrepancies don't matter right? Or will I be receiving some sort of paper later on in regards to that?

It's been a long day so far but I am really happy
