Available Now: Online Filing of Citizenship Applications

USCIS recently announced the availability of N-400 applications for naturalization online. The online account allows for a central location for matters regarding your application for US citizenship. According to USCIS an online account will allow applicants to:

• Check case status;
• Receive notifications and case updates;
• Access tailored case completion date estimates;
• Respond to RFE;
• Edit contact information;
• Change address;
• Pay filing and biometrics fees.

Although the new online option is extremely useful for those wishing to become US citizens, the online portal is not available to everyone. If an applicant is applying based on military service, applying from outside of the US, or applying for a fee waiver or reduced fee, they may not apply for N-400 online. Additionally, those who do not wish to utilize the online portal may still apply for naturalization through mail.

Through the online portal, applicants maintain the right to an attorney or authorized representative. Therefore, Sharma Law Offices can maintain your online application and provide expert assistance during your filing process.
