Applying for citiczenship - Cincinnati,OH

[Subharao]

Planning to apply for citizenship and have a few questions-
1) Where would my area/office to apply fall?
2) Is it too complicated/timeconsuming?
3) How much time does it take?

Questions may sound stupid, but just got eligible and found this forum, haven't done any research at all.
Thanks

1. The office for Cincinnati area (Ohio) cases is in downtown Cincinnati. If you live across the river in Kentucky you will have to go to Louisville.

2. For most people the citizenship process is pretty straigtforward. It is generally much easier than the application for a green card. Most people who run into problems have one of the following three problems.
A. They have problems reading or writing English
B. They have a criminal record
C. There are leftover problems from the original green card application.

3. Timelines for citizenship applications vary from city to city, but are generally pretty quick (for government anyway). In Cincinnati, four months from start to finish is a reasonable estimate.

Download and read the form N400. It is not too long - once you have read it you will know exactly what situations fit you (or don't).
