hope this goes quick!

My husband applied for his citizenship and it says March 24, 2024 Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS process begins!

Thank you. We are filling it out and went to Japan, Vietnam and Thailand, Asia in December. Should we break out each country by dates or can we say we went from X to Y, these countries included? @OldUser

My husband is working on filling out the online form. They said they want the last 5 years of trips, but my husband only moved here in 2020. Should we include trips he took leaving the UK to the US or other countries? But it says on the form, "List all trips in the 5 years anytime you left the USA" but again, didnt move here until 2020.

I read when you submit for the N400, in the cover letter its not a bad idea to request combo interview so they know. should we not do that?

@OldUser You always provide great feedback. Do you know the answers to my questions above or any feedback? Thanks!

Thanks, can you let me know where my actual post was moved to?

Can someone make a march 2024 fliers page then? and can you link where you moved it to? i'm typing that board name in and nothing

Hi all, I created a N-400 March 2024 thread because I didnt see one. If one exists, please let me know and I can delete this one. We would like to send this soon, but the last thing we have to finish is our cover letter. Can you please let me know the following questions and feedback on the document or our document list? We are sending this online but thought this would be a nice to have. My husband is applying and is British. Cover Letter 1. How do I confirm field office for Chicago? Is it the same location where we had our first green card interview together? 2. I have seen people on various cover letter use MSC to identify their case, but I only have our Lin and what I saw on our 48 month extension letter.

it says on the chicago citizenship to go here: Submit Form N-400, Application for Naturalization – Illinois residents must submit their complete application and supporting documentation to USCIS, P.O. Box 21251, Phoenix, AZ 85036. is that if you do it via paper? or it says the field office (where we had our last interview) is 101 W Ida B. Wells Dr so how do i confirm which address to put on the cover letter?

Sorry, not 751 interview. i mean our first gc interview in 2021. we are asking for combo 751 and 400, correct.

i'm assuming its the same place we had the 751 interview?

should i put the uscis address in my city of chicago?

Working on submitting - so close! a few final questions: 1. Anyone have a cover letter asking for combo interview i could review? 2. Tax return Transcript: I cant seem to find the right URL..Anyone have it handy? We asked for those in 2022 (2021 and 2022) when we were applying in January 2023 for the 751- so it says requesting date 2022. Do I need to re request? We do need to request for 2023 3. Should we also include the 36 ext letter? (instead of just 48?) A 4. my scanner is forcing me to do one pdf side at a time (ex green card one pdf scanned for front, and a new pdf scanned for back) instead of a combined. i assume thats okay? so a unique pdf for front and back of all docs? (gc, ext letter)

last question, for the docs you actually upload, do they have a naming convention they prefer? i am putting something like this: SeanPassportPage_CaitlinSean_2024? or if its our apt insurance maybe change to last years? trying to keep it consistent.

also, should we also include the 36 ext letter? (instead of just 48?) also, my scanner is forcing me to do one pdf side at a time (ex green card one pdf scanned for front, and a new pdf scanned for back) instead of a combined. i assume thats okay? so a unique pdf for front and back of all docs? (gc, ext letter) THANK YOU!

Thanks for the notes, are there are example cover letters I can find to see? Yes, the tax return transcript is what I meant. We asked for those in 2022 (2021 and 2022) when we were applying in January 2023 for the 751- so it says requesting date 2022. Do I need to re request? We do need to request for 2023 - I forgot the website. is there a chance you have it handy?

Ive seen some people here above creating cover letters, etc..we dont need to do that anymore since its online right? we are working on gathering our stuff before we start online application; is list below good enough? 1 File 400 2 3 X years of tax returns (Summary sheet from the IRS website) 3 Birth certificates for both of us 4 Photo passport pages for both of us 5 Current Apt Rent Copy 6 Current Apt Insurance Copy 7 Green card front and back 8 Marriage certificate 9 Photo of our jointly held credit card 10 6 pages of photos (18 total photos) from the past year (time we renewed the GC) with holidays, trips and our anniversary. 11 Current join health insurance 12 Joint Bank Statements

Additionally, we created an account and we cant find the USCIS online account number. there is no profile page or anything anywhere. i doubt you have to have it to apply for citizenship but it would be nice.

Hi all, to confirm, my husbands green card expiration date is march 23, 2022 - so we are okay to apply for citizenship this month right? i am the american citizen and we have been married since march 2020.

i looked at my lifting conditions timeline, it looks like we appllied last jan and got the 48 month ext in march

We flew home from Asia 3 days ago and had no issues at all when checking in at Vietnam using his expired gc and letter. When we came back to immigration Thursday (which BTW was insane as they had tourists, gc, and global entry all in one line...not sure what was going on but it was horrible if anyone else was there this past Thur) we got to the global entry part and my husband (as did we) had to talk to the guy. we gave him the letter and gc, and it was loud so i couldnt hear him - that we had to update the global entry but wasnt sure if that meant with the new GC we will probably never get (as my husband will prob be a citizen by the time we hear) or if he means we have to do some type of update with GE with the EXT letter? anyone know? thanks
