I received a letter last week giving me a date and time for my fingerprinting appt. Then 4 days later I receive another letter moving the appt to a later time on the same day. This later time is very bad for me because of work. What is the reason for this? Can I just show up at the original...

So I sent our N-400 out last week on 3/19, and they were delivered on 3/24 (Sunday). So far its been 5 working days and no email confirmation of receipt, letter, or checks cashed. Is it odd or do I need to just chill? How long for the first acceptance notifications?

I am getting ready to file my n400. I have mostly filled out the forms, but I see that there really is no need to submit anything along with the application form besides a copy of the GC, photos, and the checks. I went through the document checklist and none of those things apply to me. Is it...

Hello - I am in the process of filling out n-400s for both me and my wife. Can I mail out the forms together (with separate checks of course) in the same packet, or should they be separate? Does USCIS process these together, as my wife has always been my derivative when it has come to US...
