newark is a madhouse but still moves a lot faster & at least u can stand in line to inquire. at CH there's no way to even ask for status becuz they killed infopass. it's tiny office. u lose > 6mo's by chg of address

did u also put in driver's license etc? why is this a big deal .. why do they've have to be so silly after u've got ur natz cert?? i'm about to apply this wk - concerned about diff in address though. what if the address i fill on my pport app is diff from that currently on driver's license ...

Any counsel from the experts? My oath is coming up in 1.5wks @Trenton finally .. can i go in w/ generic pp app +photo & hope to put it in w/ natz certificate on the spot? btw - will they notice the add change on driver's license post interview? shouldnt be a biggie at this stage right?

Great ques - could fbi/ name chk pickup on the add change etc? what about taxes? is it a biggie if they file separately? do the rules technically only require that they not be technically divorced. i know that there's no onus to prove that it was good faith unlike at GC stage but perhaps just...

unfortunately they've always been polite & firm ... i've called/ emailed every mo. & each time they say "a fresh enquiry has been sent; we'll call if any response"; how can i force them to go do anything? is it worth trying the congressman's office but i'd have to ask senator's office to...
