Quick questions about N-400 form

[dimpy828]

Hi all,

I just wanted to ask a couple of questions about N-400 form. I am filling it out for my dad. He went to India four times during last 5 years (18 days, 16 days, 19 days, and 40 days). Does he still have to send proof(s) of continuity? And if yes, what kind of proofs? Tax-returns? Utility Bills (which I doubt he has saved)? Any other suggestions?

Also, what's the current fee? In the instruction form I read its $300 + $70 Biometric = $400. But elsewhere I read its a total of $675. Which one is it and where do I confirm? I tried calling them but they are hopeless!!

Sorry if such questions are already posted, but I am new to this forum and don't know too much about getting around here.

Thanks in advance...

It seems that your father maintained his continuous residence, so it's not necessary to submit any kind of proof. However, make sure that you list all his trips on the N-400.

The correct fee is $675. The form that you're filling out has expired over a year ago. Use this one instead: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/N-400.pdf

That is the one I am filling out. But these are instructions that threw me off: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/n-400ins.pdf : page 2 bottom left.

And thanks for the other info.

Oh and one more question. The form expires on 10/31/08. What should I do about that? Where do I get a new form? And if I send that one is that going to be a problem?

Ah, I see. The instructions are outdated. Again, the correct fee is $675. Don't worry about the expiration date of the form, as it'll still be accepted.

There are two N400 instruction forms on USCIS website

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

The one with lower case "n" is outdated and should be disregarded.
