August 2009 N-400 filers

Hello everybody,

I'm so exited to be sending in my N-400 on August!!!
My 90 days before the 5 year wait will be due on August 22, but since its a Saturday, I decided i will send it on Monday, August 24.

Let's keep this thread moving. Any info is valuble.
Good luck to all of you!

lol.. columbia, you are a case. You already stamped the 24th on your timeline,,,lol.. what is your dog or cat eat up all your paperwork before the 24th?...lol...
N/B. you can still mail it now, you will still be fine.
 
godisgoodtome;

I'm ahead of time 1 week. I will be sending my N-400 no matter what. If my dog eats my application, I will print another copy or I can print a few now, just in case.

:)

I can't wait!

Yes Colunmian, you might want to sent MO since you are columbian, The USCIS does not trust your checks.....lol.

Yeah checks are better if you wanna know how your case is moving.... "tracking?"

my Citizenship application

I am a GC holder for the past five years. I initially got my GC through asylum. I applied few days ago for my citizenship after the 5 years wait period. When i filled the form, i chose the " 5 years of GC" instead of " 3 years married to US citizen " though i married a US citizen by birth this summer.

I live in CA and I submit my application this Aug.

my questions

- Is my application processed as a wife of a US citizen or an asylee ?

- Is my application is sent to NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER due to the name change i requested to change my last name to my Husband's last name?

- Will the process change just because I am married to citizen?

- How long does the whole process take?

thanks
K

check the following pages out;

1. http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/N-400ins.pdf

2. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis

For the name change you will have to include documentation when filling your N-400 and also they might make you wait till you appear for interview before making that official. Some people change their names on the day of oat.....lol
Good luck.
 
You need to close one status to start another

Your application will be processed as an asylee if that what your Green Card says.
The name change will make your application a little longer, but not much.

I've heard that the total process time is between 100 and 120 days.
 
Got FP Notice but Not RFE notice

As mentioned earlier, self and spouse had rfe's raised on 08/11/09 (notified via email) but no sign of it yet in the mail but we got out fp appointment mails dated 08/13/09 yesterday. I think the system message is wrongly worded (as noted elsewhere in the forum). Can any one verify if this message changes a few days after the FP is done. Our FP is scheduled for the 26th. I'll post my experience and if the message changes after a couple of days of the FP.
 
Your timeline is not moving

Godisgoodtome:

You sent your application on August 7th and you have not heard from them? Has your check been cashed?, Was your application received? 10 days have pased!

:confused:

Please update us!
