RealSuperK said:It gets better. My company REALLY wants me to move from one city to another. If I moved, I'd fall under a different district office. Then I'll either (a) have to move the file from one district office to another (read - it will get lost enroute) or (b) withdraw the application and refile at the new place. So, I'm either looking at forgoing a promotion and a raise or at losing another 7-8 months and then running into the same name check problem again. Good choices, huh?
Take the promotion and raise, move to the new city, and then re-file. Do you have a compelling reason to become a US citizen, such as marriage to someone back home, or sponsoring your parents for green card. If not with your green card, you basically have parity with USC, so you can slowly reapply for USC once you have relocated.
