I disclosed a traffic ticket, got the YL with the "you've been arrested...", was unable to obtain a paid receipt (but did try), but officer did not ask about it. (The only things IO asked for were my DL and GC to make copies of)

State returns are not required, however, keep in mind that you certify that you owe no back taxes to the Fed, state, and other localities. Therefore it is implied that you filed state tax returns as required. If you did not, that needs fixing before you can be approved.

Yesterday i received my Oath letter - March 16. The end is in sight :) Best of luck to all those waiting on IL/Oath letters.

Also glad to see everyone moving along. I am also still waiting for my oath letter, even though the IO i had said she would put it in for expedited scheduling. They do oaths in St Louis on the last friday of the month, and the only last friday of the month I will be in town is February. I'll be...

There a few advantages to living in the midwest vs an area like NJ/NY :P. I hope everyone else's timelines will catch up soon. It is quite a relief to be done with this journey.

N-400 approved I just went to my interview and was approved :) Interview took not even 15 minutes. Had a very friendly lady IO. Come in, oath, writing test, civics test, go through application, sign and done. She did brush the speeding ticket I disclosed, but was unable to obtain a...

Yeah, it appears your mileage may vary depending on the town. The lady was very friendly, for sure, but one reason I physically went there in the first place is because I could not get a hold of them by phone (which apparently was a sign). This is a podonk town that is known as the local...

I had the same thing for a $107 speeding ticket. I know this topic has been discussed to death on the boards here, but USCIS should really be more consistent. I went to the 2-horse town (town hall, municipal court, and police station all housed in a single 1500sqft house) where I got my ticket...

I received the yellow letter yesterday. It said to bring arrest records (never arrested, just declared a $107 speeding ticket). I don't have the original ticket (or check image used to pay it) anymore as it was years ago, but planning to try and obtain either a paid receipt or a letter stating...

Received IL today. January 18th.

Completed biometrics today. Lady that took them said IL should probably be coming very soon as apparently N-400s are being processed very quickly at St Louis currently.

Sent in N400 package to Phoenix earlier this week and just received a delivery receipt from FedEx.

I had the same situation. When time came to file I751, I filled out my wife's current last name and noted on the form (sticky note) that she had changed her name since I485 approval. I submitted some evidence to show the name change (copy of her updated SS card and her passport). I-751 was...

There are no guarantees, but it appears typical delivery is < 3 weeks. Once the card has been produced, they will send it priority mail. If it has not arrived by the time you leave, you will still be ok to travel with your old card and the I-751 extension letter. My case was approved on the...

I have the same "issue". Came to the US on J-1 in 2002 (age 23) (and then again in 2003 on F-1). I can't recall exactly when or why I signed up, but it was either in the paperwork package from the University I attended (and they told me to register), or I filled it out at the DMV because they...
