Granted, it's been a while since I've had to be actively involved with the immigration process (the last foray was changing my "temporary resident" status to "permanent resident" status back in 2002), I think I can safely say that I've already experienced more than my fair share of forms....forms and more forms. The application for citizenship is thankfully only one (from what I can tell, and hope) known as the N-400. I've been spending some time with my new friend N-400 over the last year, reading, re-reading and mentally preparing myself to fill it out.
Given my self-assigned submission due date of 2/16/12, N-400 and I are going to be spending a lot more time together over the next few weeks. If you're curious on what I'll be completing, take a gander;
N-400 isn't the most intimidating of the forms I've completed over the years, but it is one of the more entertaining ones. Some of the highlights to N-400 include the requirement to list ALL trips over 24 hours that I have made since becoming a Permanent Resident (Section 7, Part C.), questions about my Affiliations (Section 10, Part B) - the questions about being a Communist or Nazi are good ones - and the Yes/No questions on "Good Moral Character" (Section 10, Part D).
I guess all of what is being asked in N-400 is good information to have, I mean you only want the best of the best as citizens, right? No communists, habitual drunkards or polygamists need apply.
