I was in excellent shape (except for my arteries) before the surgery. Although the first few weeks were hard, I did a 10 miler four weeks after the surgery, and just continued to build from there.

What is the fee for Form N-400, the application for U.S. citizenship? The filing fee as of 2010 for submission of the Form N-400 is $680.00. This fee includes the cost for the application ($595.00) and a biometric fee of $85.00. The biometric fee covers the expense of being fingerprinted and photographed after your application is submitted.
When the price goes up, naturalization rates go down. The current filing fee for Form N-400, the Application for Naturalization, with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, for adult applicants is $680 ($595 plus an $85 biometric fee). This is certainly a prohibitive cost for individuals living below the poverty level.
