Lately lots of folks have them reused... but I still didn't get a notification.

Fairfax, DC area? Several folks applied these months and it is taking less than normal, around 3 months.

Filled last Monday 03/04 online for citizenship!! I am in the DC area (Fairfax office). Nothing yet about biometrics being reused 😕 Naturalization 03/04/24: N-400 submitted online; Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Sent.

I am sure it will be the same for you guys, Good luck!

Today I got two letters in the mail: one stating my biometrics will be reused, and another one to set up my online account. Am I still expecting to receive something else?

Also, they are increasing the fee for I-751 soon to more than double the actual price, so that is something to consider.

I got this notification. Package accepted 5 days ago. I haven't even received letters in my mail yet. What does really mean?

Important update in my case!! I got a SMS saying my case was received, with a receipt number starting with IOE... Also, no issues with our credit card. Timeline update: 03/20 package sent 03/24 package delivered in Phoenix Lockbox (FedEx) 03/28 Case was received (IOE). Sms received at 3 am

This! This is probably the most reasonable explanation for that.

I agree with the credit card thing. If USCIS allows us to use them it is because it works ok, I never had issues with our card. Instead of making people freak out, maybe get a better card that can handle these types of charges.

Joining the party! ROC package sent today. Timeline update: 03/20 package sent

You're all right. ROC comes first. I was just curious about the future impact of my personal situation. Thanks for the answers

We'll do that indeed. As I mentioned, our marriage is, and has been, very solid, even dealing with this temporal separation right now. Thank you!

Not yet, but I have to apply for I-751 in 2 months. So by this same logic, I will lose my green card too because I had to move out of state to attend the only University that allows me to get my license? That is madness,

3 years. It is graduate school.

But I am not moving permanently, I am a student, not sure if that is considered an exception. I do not use a car here that's why I didn't bother to switch my DL, but I will take a look into that.

Yeah, this makes sense.

My spouse didn't move with me because of her job basically, especially when she is the only income now. Worth to mention that she is in the military (but part-time only, not on active duty). The rush is because for my field, being a citizen would allow me to have access to better jobs or things I want to do.

Really? I found this in USCIS website. But I don't know if graduate school would qualify for such statement: Involuntary separation. In the event that the applicant and spouse live apart because of circumstances beyond their control, such as military service in the Armed Forces of the United States or essential business or occupational demands, rather than because of voluntary legal or informal separation, the resulting separation, even if prolonged, will not preclude naturalization under this part.

Hello, Married to a US spouse, but now I am temporarily living outside my permanent address because I am doing 3 years of medical school in another state to be able to practice in the US. I live in another state, and by myself, my spouse stays in our apartment, located at the address we have always lived at since I came to the US (and shown in my DL). We visit a lot each other, either she comes or I go, but technically talking we aren't living together. it is a sacrifice we are doing for me to grow here, but we have a solid marriage, financially and in all areas, so that would be easy to prove. I do not have a DL from the state I am studying at, only a lease of the apartment I rent. The question is: when I apply for naturalization, would this be a problem? The fact that we are not in the same house for a while? Even though we keep the same permanent address? Should I mention this in the form or to the officer? If I apply for naturalization, I am planning to apply in the state we have our apartment, not here where I temporarily live. My home is there. What do you think? Should I be concerned or delay my naturalization? I honestly would like to do it as soon as I can apply (I cannot do it yet, but I will be able to apply during my program and be a citizen at the time of my graduation). Thank you
