So I tried to make an early walk-in and they flat out rejected me, because they said they don't do early walk ins. I might be traveling on the date when is my appointment. I was thinking would it be possible to make an early walk-in in another USCIS office? P.S. - I remember 7 years ago I could...

Hi, Will it hurt my naturalization changes if I, as a LPR, have and use a PO BOX instead of my home physical address? I am finding the PO BOX to be more convenient for me, simple as that. Less lost letters, and not having to file for USPS forwarding every time I move within the city. Why am I...

Let's say everything goes well, I make it all the way to the naturalization ceremony. I live on a US address that was provided via tax returns, AR-11 and my N-400 application. I also use the address for apply for my new US passport. What happens if I move after that? Is it true that as a US...

Guys, seriously considering applying for the citizenship as soon as possible. I used immihelp.com calculator to determine, when to apply. In brief, I have been resident for almost 7 years, but that has been interrupted when I went abroad for close to 2 years (applied for reentry permit). I...

Hello, just doublechecking one thing about international travel. As long as no trip is longer than 6 months, is it okay to have several one way plane tickets ending outside of the U.S ? Or is it a problem for naturalization having round-trip plane tickets ending outside of the U.S?

Is there any way for your country of origin to know that you acquired U.S. citizenship thru naturalization if you don't tell them yourself? I mean, is there anything like a list of recently naturalized persons or does USCIS actively notify your country of origin?

Just out of curiosity. On the N-400 you have specify all the addresses where you lived since becoming LPR. What if some of those addresses and stays were conducted on verbal agreement only? I have nothing on paper for few of those addresses, is that a potential problem?

Hello, long story short. Applying under the 4 years + 1 day rule. When the 4 years and 1 day is up from the last big trip, there I will have accrued roughly 1000 days inside the U.S. and 800 days outside. No trip was longer than 5 months. The only longer trip was the one over 4 years ago with...

Hello all, I want to move myself to Texas, but I don't want to move right now and my lease is going to expire very soon. In a gap time, I was thinking about going to travel for 3-4 months as it will not likely make any problems for naturalization. Is it possible to rent a real looking street...

Should you list PO Box addresses on N-400 ? Everytime I moved I filled AR-11, but I always put real residential addresses even though I filled change of address with Post office (USPS) to a PO Box few times. So I am planning to list only real residential addresses on N-400, the same ones that...

I am long term permanent resident. For years, I had been uninsured. Since last year, I have health travel insurance from a foreign country that covers my medical expenses in the U.S. I have personal reasons for that, but one of the obvious reasons is cost. Should I be worried about its...

I am thinking about moving to a different state and city. Not that I will base my move according to answer to this question, but I am being very curious. What is typically the fastest USCIS office to process N-400 for naturalization? And which one is the slowest? Logically, I would guess...

So, I just came back from overseas after couple months. And I just found out that somebody removed my name tag/sticker from my mailbox while I was gone. Could it cause some mail not being delivered? If so, how do I know if I missed something important? What-if IRS or USCIS wanted something...
