I also want to send my paperwork by the end of this month although I’m elegible to send it starting Dec 30, 2023!

My local Catholic charities office said they can help me fill out the N-400 but starting in April. I’m not willing to wait if I can submit it earlier.

I got the same one too. Already had a 48 month extension letter last January and got another one today. 

Same here. On Tuesday 3/28 I received a second 48 month extension letter. Very random as I had received the first one in late January this year.

AGMic: "Will probably apply for N-400 March 2024 before my I-751 gets extended."

 

May I ask why March rather than January? AIUI the window for both is normally a year apart if you qualify for the 3 year N400? (I left my I751 a bit late, but plan to file the N400 as soon as the window opens in November this year.)

I've read here that it's best to apply for N-400 after the Green card's 3rd anniversary because someone got their application denied but I believe the person was not in the USA all this time living with the US Citizen spouse, something like that. It had to do with the residency requirement:

"if such person immediately preceding the date of filing his application for naturalization has resided continuously, after being lawfully admitted for permanent residence, within the United States for at least three years, and during the three years immediately preceding the date of filing his application has been living in marital union with the citizen spouse (except in the case of a person who has been battered or subjected to extreme cruelty by a United States citizen spouse or parent), who has been a United States citizen during all of such period, and has been physically present in the United States for periods totaling at least half of that time and has resided within the State or the district of the Service in the United States in which the applicant filed his application for at least three months." Taken from: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title8-section1430&num=0&edition=prelim

I do want to apply to N-400 as soon as I'm eligible (90 day window) as I've lived in the USA all of this time with my US Citizen spouse.

Almost done with my packet! Hoping to send it out tomorrow. Our packet is quite bulky. How did you guys pack your documents? Did it fit in an envelope? Did you use a box?

 

Also, just to make sure. The only thing that needs to be signed are Pages 7 and 8 on the form, am I right? I already double checked everything, just need confirmation from others. Lol I just wanna make sure I did everything correctly. 

I'm on the same boat. I finished scanning everything and adding the sticky tabs at the bottom of the pages. I need an extra large binder clip, but all of my stuff fitted in a clasp envelope. At this point I'm wondering if I even need the extra large binder clip. Good luck!

Hi! I plan on sending my ROC packet this week, but have a question: is it recommended to highlight (with a yellow highlighter) both of our names for the house deed, joint account bank statements, insurance? Mostly to evidence we're both on the same documents.

Also, I've been a graduate student since filing AOS, so I have my own health insurance, but nowhere in the application I mention this. Should I?

Thanks!

I also received an RFE today asking me to submit the I-944 form. I submitted all the paperwork back in Sept. 8th when it wasn't required to be submitted.

I hope this does not delay the overall processing time!

Hello everyone,

I submitted my paperwork for AOS from F-1 student visa on September 8, 2020. I did not include form I-944 since it was not required due to the court issue.

Well, no progress had been made on my application until December 15, 2020, that I got an RFE for me to submit I-944!!

I'm gonna start working on the form and will try to submit it ASAP. 

The following alert is from: https://www.uscis.gov/i-944

ALERT: On Sept. 11, 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a decision that allows DHS to resume implementing the Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility final rule nationwide, including in New York, Connecticut and Vermont. The decision stays the July 29, 2020, injunction, issued during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, that prevented DHS from enforcing the public charge final rule during a national health emergency.

Therefore, we will apply the public charge final rule and related guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual, Volumes 2, 8 and 12, to all applications and petitions postmarked (or submitted electronically) on or after Feb. 24, 2020. If you send your application or petition by commercial courier (for example, UPS, FedEx, or DHL), we will use the date on the courier receipt as the postmark date.
