MODULE 8:ASSISTING WITH APPLICATIONS4[Under construction] Will be updated with information about whether/how navigators can assist when the applications are live. This module may look different depending on how organizations hope to engage navigators. For example, the NPNA naturalization training walks navigators through the entire N-400, which takes up about 3 hours of the total training time. 4WHAT HAPPENS AFTER SUBMITTINGApplicant will: Receive a receipt Can check case status on USCIS.gov using receipt number Have biometrics (fingerprints) taken at a USCIS Application Support Center (ASC)USCIS will send mail to notify about ASC appointment Receive a decision (approval or denial) or a request for additional information
