N-400 Process
I just applied online for my citizenship this week. It has been on my mind for a while and in a rare moment of spontaneity I just applied. My type A side is now stressing out that I did something wrong though! I had an employment based H1B followed by GC. I have been a permanent resident since Feb 2014 and married to a US citizen since July 2014. In the online system they didn't ask about my employment based GC but lots of questions about my husband and kids. They have my A-number so I'm sure they can get this!
They also asked for copies of marriage cert and kids birth certs but not my tax return or bank statements, I have read other people provide these things so not sure if I should go back in and add them? It also says "estimated case completion time of Dec 2020" and "Estimated wait time: 2 days" which just seems highly unlikely!!! My local office says that it 11-20 months out so not sure what to expect. Any insight to the process would be great :) |

Sounds to me like you did everything right. If you think you missed uploading some docs, take them to the interview.

The only "mistake" I see is that you could have applied almost 3½ years ago, :nod: But after 5+ years you can qualify for citizenship irrespective of your marriage to a US citizen, so perhaps they won't ask for your marriage certificate. That said, I have heard of cases where they have asked for the marriage cetificate even when explictly applying based on 5 years as a GC holder, not 3 years as a GC holder + marriage to a USC. As Noorah said, they will ask if something is missing and unless they discover that you're a violent felon, a war criminal, a terrorist, or a spy for China, Iran, Cuba, or NK, there is almost no chance that your application will be rejected. |

The “estimated wait time” is the time to the next stage, which will be the appointment being made for the biometrics. That is typically done a few days after submission (not that the appointment is within a few days but the making of the appointment will be done in a few days).

My local office says that it 11-20 months out so not sure what to expect. I've also got an estimated completion time of Dec 2020, and I applied back in July - but I haven't even received a biometrics appointment yet. It does say that they are taking longer than expected to process my case, which is clearly true, as I should have had a biometrics date by now. Welcome to the Wait And See Club! |
