s_sonune Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 There is a provision for early filing where applicant can file N400 90 calendar days prior to 5 year GC anniversary. But at the same time applicant is not eligible for naturalization until he/she reached 5 year period of continuous residence. My GC 5 year anniversary is July 18, 2016. Say you get citizenship in roughly 6 months from filing N400. So, if I file for citizenship on July 18, 2016 I get citizenship on Jan 18, 2017. But if I leverage 90 calendar days early filing and file N400 on Apr 22, 2016, am I likely to get citizenship on Oct 22, 2016 ? Is the true benefit of early filing is the likelihood of getting citizenship 90 days early ? What are other benefits of filing early ? Link to comment
JoeF Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 The interview will always be only after the 5-year mark. But a bunch of processing, including biometrics, can be done before that. As for timeframe, that depends on the local USCIS office and if a name change is requested. Link to comment
