print form
Hi I have my interview scheduled for next month. I just realized that when I filled the N400 form online I forgot to print it.
I went to my USCIS account to see if I could still find the filled form I submitted but I can't find it. is there any way to find and print this form?
I wanted to have it to review the info I submitted and also to take it to the interview

N-400 Falsely Claimed as US Citizen
Hi, I just got approved for 10 years green card from Conditional Green Card through Marriage w)USC. And I am planning to apply for N400 on July. Recently, I found out that my accountant claimed me as US Citizen for my Business tax form for LLC business, that my wife and I owned. I contacted my accountant and they fixed and amended our last two business tax return form that claim me as US citizen instead of my own nationality. I contacted my immigration lawyer and he was very confident that there will be no issue with my N-400 since I did not claim me as US Citizen for any benefit or any purpose and I already amended the tax return before USCIS challenges it. Do you guys think I am fine to apply N-400 and having no issue about this? I am still planning to say "yes" on question have you ever claimed yourself as US Citizen and write an explanation letter and also attached the amended tax return that state correct nationality.

Case was transferred and a new office has jurisdiction (I-751 and N-400 combo interview)
I had my combo interview and the interviewing officer said my I-751 file is not in Atlanta office yet (interviewing location). She gave me a white paper saying you passed the civics test and she has to wait until she receives my I-751 file. A few hours later my status changed to "Case was transferred and a new office has jurisdiction". How long is the wait for the review ? Anyone in the same boat ?

N-400 | 3 years rule
After almost 3 years I am back to this forum again. Hopefully everyone is doing great and getting their application approved smoothly. I recently applied for N400 based on 3 years rule. Got greencard through marriage to my wife usc. I got 10 years gc and gc issued date is 04/07/2021. We sent the N400 application before the 90 days. Location : Sioux Fall, South Dakota

Timeline :
01/30/2024 - application sent to uscis via usps (paper based)
02/05/2024 - We received your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, and sent you a receipt notice.
02/10/2024 - Biometric reuse and then Case is actively being reviewed.

After that no more progress. It says on the case status page :
Estimated time* until case decision:
approx. 5 months.

Now, I was reading others experiences and seems like almost everyone is getting interview scheduled within 2 to 3 months after filing. I am hoping that i will get interview notice within next 25-35 days. Does anyone have any idea on when uscis actually start looking at 90 days early sent application. Since my gc issued date was 04/07/2021 so uscis will consider looking at my case after 04/07/2024 and may be thats why theres no more progress yet or i am just overthinking about it. Its only been 70 days or so. Any sioux fall/ south dakota filer here.

N400 Duration between oath ceremony will be scheduled to mail letter or date of ceremony- Houston
I interviewed for N400 application on Thursday April 11th 2024 at Houston Gears Rd USCIS. The IV was in the afternoon. The officer was nice and polite.it went straight forward with civics questions and some questions related to my N400 form.
On same day I got the approval with the status that my oath ceremony will be scheduled. I want to understand generally how long does it take for the oath notice to arrive (for USCIS at Houston based on their workload)? Anyone has recent experience?
how long does it take between oath notice arrival and actual oath ceremony?

International Travel when N400 is processing
Hi

1. Will there be any issues to travel before interview? I have applied for N400, and is still processing, no interview date yet?

2. Can I travel in Air Canada with 10 year (unexpired) GC or do I need to get a Transit Visa? For context, I have Indian passport. last time Air Canada refused to board me with expired GC and extension letter.

N400 - Baltimore, MD
Hello everyone,

After a long journey in the naturalization process, I have my oath ceremony scheduled for this Saturday morning. Compared to the process of getting the green card, the N400 was incredibly quick. Here is my timeline:

Application Submitted: 02/23/2024
Biometric Reuse: 02/23/2024
Interview Scheduled: 03/17/2024
Interview day: 04/16/2024
The interview was very straightforward. I had to wait a little bit to be called, but overall I was on the USCIS grounds for about 1 hour. They started with the civics questions:
1) Name one American Indian tribe in the United States.
2) How many justices are on the Supreme Court?
3) Name one of the two longest rivers in the United States.
4) When was the Constitution written?
5) What is the capital of the United States?
6) We elect a President for how many years?

After that, they moved to the reading (In what month do we vote for President?) and written portion (We vote for President in November). I was asked to confirm some information from my application (name, address, name of the husband, date of the wedding...), and they asked some of the moral character questions. She told me I was approved and offered me to take the oath ceremony the same day at 2 pm or on Saturday. A day after the interview, my status was updated:

Oath Ceremony Scheduled: 04/17/2024
Oath Ceremony Day: 04/20/2024

Thank you all for your testimonies. You all really helped me stay positive during this long waiting process.
