  1. Interview scheduled for N400 interview next month today - 59 days after filing, and 30 days before my 3 year GC anniversary.
  2. Broadly there are three "types" of folks going through the immigration process - 1) folks who learn the process inside out, do most/all of their filing themselves, 2) folks who don't know much about the process and trust their lawyer to do everything for them, 3) folks who don't inform themselves and try to go it alone. 2) works absolutely fine if you have a good lawyer, and can afford it, 1) is the route most folks on this forum take. Given how zero-sum the US immigration is - success vs banished forever (deliberate hyperbole there...) - I would far rather know all the ins and outs of the process. If you have a good lawyer, they'll keep you on rails and will guide you through the process and you'll be fine. But I've also read stories of folks with bad lawyers on here. My post was motivated by the fact that a LOT of people on this forum are in bucket 3) who do things like file for a replacement green card instead of applying to remove conditions, or apply for citizenship before they are eligible. I'm still not entirely sure how long you've held your green card (see the 3 vs 5 year article posted above), but if you're married to a USC and have held a GC for 3 years minus 90 days, or you're not married and have held it for 5 years minus 90 days (including no long absences from the US during that time) then you're eligible to file for citizenship. You can fill out your VJ timeline here - it lets other users see filing statistics, and get a better idea of when their case might be approved. More importantly it gives context to other folks when they are answering your questions/replying to your post.
  3. Almost everybody else in this thread is filing under the 3 or 5 year rule, and given that you haven't filled out your timeline I assumed you were in the same boat. You said your GC anniversary was August, which would have meant your interview was before it had been 3/5 years since receiving your original greencard. This doesn't apply to you given you've already been a greencard holder for more than 5 years.
  4. Congratulations!!! It's really heartening to hear an IO who wants to see people succeed - a really nice counterpoint to some of the horror stories you hear about IOs being jerks.
  5. Your three year anniversary is in August?! That's pretty confusing as your interview will be before you're eligible to be approved. Unless you mean you've already passed the 3 years.
  6. 1. 2. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript 3. Don't know what you mean 4. You can scan it as JPG and paste both JPGs into a word doc then PDF the word doc
  7. Yeah you'll be fine then! I think most folks apply 90 days early and therefore have to wait ~90 days for the interview date so that it's after their 3yr anniversary.
  8. If you look at timelines on VJ it looks as if almost all interviews are scheduled 90-100 days after N400 filing - I would guess USCIS is factoring in the early filing timing accordingly.
