Great! I am filing this weekend so I (selfishly) hope everything will be back to normal by then!

I've read about people having issues on multiple forum, apparently there is some system maintenance going on. See here: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/821063-n400-payment-issues/?do=findComment&comment=10976327

It's certainly not mandatory. Different VJ'ers had different experiences either requesting one or not. It can't hurt to attach a letter to your application pointing out to the officer that you have an I-751 pending...

When is your 3-yr anniversary?

yes I will be filing online.

I have encountered a similar glitch as well. I have not been able to resolve it. I don't think it matters whether you fill it out by hand or not. Also should have no effect on your I-751

The $710 for the N-400 online filing includes the non-refundable biometric fee, whether you end up needing to go in for biometrics or not. First I've heard of that. As far as I know, fees are due at the time of filing.

Don't know what info you are referring to, but just because you didn't wait long enough does not make it "bad".

This is a great way to do it! But there is only one Bill of Rights and it comprises the first 10 amendments to the constitutions, and the IO will likely ask at least 6 questions ; )

Who knows why the German embassy recommends waiting until the 6/26. as long as you don't take the oath before then you will be fine. I am eligible on May 1 and planning on filing my N-400 on 5/26, because my field office has been known to process applications quickly.

Hi all, just filling out the new N-400 version in anticipation of filing for citizenship next month. I am planning on filing online but I am anxious to get this started so here we are. I have noticed that there seems to be some weird dependency between Part 5. 4d and Part 10. 1 when filling out the form in Acrobat Reader. It seems that both answers can only be the same, either both yes or both no. This might just be the case for me, but I thought I'd mention it. So, if you are filing by mail, your spouse lives at the same address as you, AND you make more than 400% of the federal poverty guidelines, or vice versa, triple check your answers!

That's great! I was wondering why I had to provide 5 years of info when applying under the 3 yr rule! Getting ready to file next month 🕺🏼

Congrats! Great name btw!

The law officially got announced today, will go into effect 6/26/24!

Congratulations! Just goes to show that every case is different and there is no one-size-fits-all approach!

Congratulations!! Just to clarify, it was a combo interview, but they didn't interview you AND your husband for the I-751? Congratulations!

Bring your husband, too!

As far as I know the letter doesn't (always) specifically mention the ROC. I would bring my spouse and the relevant documents/evidence just in case!

As others have mentioned, USCIS usually conducts home visits when they suspect fraud. The fact that you got approved for your conditional GC suggests the evidence you guys submitted was strong enough to convince them of the legitimacy of your marriage. When it comes to your removal of conditions, the chances of getting an interview seem higher if you weren't interviewed for your AOS so I would expect to be called in for an interview. Note, this is not from first-hand experience, just from what I gathered in this forum. Everyone's living situation is different; if you and your spouse are in a legitimate marriage (it seems you have solid evidence to back that up, too), and you choose to sleep in separate bedrooms for reasons that are nobody's business but your own (well, and USCIS', should they ask you during the interview) then you have nothing to worry about imo!

Let's hope they actually get it done!

Since you are officially no longer married to a USC you will have to file for naturalization under the 5 year rule.

Any updates?

Fair I don't think I will go through the hassle either! Congratulations again!

whooo congrats!! Did you get the BBG beforehand?

Even though they might have been sent on the same day, they can get to you at wildly different times, sometimes days to weeks. AFAIK you need the original notice to travel with your expired green card, but others might be able to say for sure.
