I was wondering the same - and also if they'll go even deeper on that approach in FY22 to show fast progress for the new calendar year. Also wonder how they determine "easy"

Was your case being processed through Potomac before you submitted your N400?

If you fill out your Timeline this will help folks to provide more detailed answers

More info on this here - https://www.uscis.gov/forms/uscis-early-filing-calculator

Any reason why you waited an extra year to file N400?

1) It should be on your I-797 Green Card approval letter 2) USCIS address info here - note that it depends on what state you are in, and that there are different addresses depending on if you're using USPS or a courier (FedEx/UPS) 3) Info on how to pay filing fees is here

Hi folks, I figured we might have some people also gearing up to submit in January who want to get ahead of things before the holidays. I'll be submitting the second week of January and planning to send the following evidence: I-751 G-1145 $680 filing fee check A copy of the Permanent Resident Card of the beneficiary (front and back) A copy of petitioner’s US passport and birth certificate A copy of beneficiary’s passport Copy of marriage certificate Copy of drivers licenses Joint leases Bank statements of joint checking, and savings accounts Bank statements of joint credit card Utility bills showing joint address (electricity, internet) Car and home insurance policy documents Beneficiary statements of retirement and investment accounts Tax return transcripts, married filing jointly (2020 and 2021) Photographs Definitely not excited to be back in the waiting line of all things USCIS, but hoping there's a tiny chance I sneak into the "risk based" new approach which seems to have been lightning fast for some posters. Good luck to all other January filers!

Updating your timeline would be helpful for other members.

Which field office is that?

Thanks Mike - that worked for N400. Do you know if there's rationale to which service center your 751 gets assigned to?

Thanks @Mike E - is there any way to know where you field office will be based on geography of where I live, or are cases assigned randomly? Mainly wondering if comparing the processing estimates is how to figure this out!

Hi all. I'll be filing for ROC of my original 2yr marriage based green card in early 2023 (February) and I'm trying to get a sense of whether it makes a difference in terms of overall timeline to file concurrently for N400 (at the appropriate time after my ROC filing). I'm also hoping some of the backlog might clear between now and February, or that I'll get my interview waived (still married, lots of pictures including of our wedding celebration that was COVID postponed, and joint financial holdings etc). I know that this will shorten my overall timeline to US citizenship, but I was wondering if overall it'll be slower than applying only to remove conditions and get my 10yr green card. I'm guessing it'll be 1.5-2.5 years total for the N400 approval, vs potentially just 18 months for the ROC portion. I'm mainly just a bit fatigued by the entire process (i.e. it was a blissful 18 months of not having to carry extra paperwork overseas) but also know life gets much easier once I get a US passport. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
