You can download the N400 instructions and follow it. Its not that hard. Atlanta falls under the Lewisville, TX lockbox jurisdiction.
The chances of scheduling your interview within 3 months in the Atlanta DO are very remote now. Its currently taking about 4 to 5 months to complete the whole process in this office. I naturalized couple of months ago and it took 4 months from date of application to interview date (and oath on same day since this office does same day oaths). Read the posts in this thread to get an idea of how long its taking.
If for some reason your interview gets scheduled before you complete 5 years on GC, they will complete the interview on that date and give you a later oath date (this happend to buddy of mine in 2006 when the processing was lighting fast). I am very sure now you will not get your interview date before 11/01 if you apply now.
Congrats. Wow you filed in Dec of last year. Any specific reason why your app got delayed? Name Check? (are you from middle east)
small correction: you can avail of the same day oath if you complete the interview by 1pm provided you do not have a complicated situation (like criminal record etc..) Even if you have later evening interview, you will be given next day oath for sure. That is what the supervisor told me when I had my interview and oath couple monts ago.
Thanks Ksam. I had read the instructions for N-400 but there were two addresses given for GA. One was regular lockbox PO locationa and the other was for expedited/courier service (2501 S State Hwy 121). I am not sure if i should use the regular lockbox(PO Box 299026, Lewisville, TX 75029) or expedited courier address?
Ksam,
Yes I am from the M.E. Another reason could be because I had a number of international trip over a 3 yr period something like 20 since I travel quite extensively. Even though they were small trips I guess that may have caused some issues. I was also flagged as someone in the military even though I have never been. All in all I guess 8 mths havent been that bad. Guess I can say this since its all done
Good Luck to All,

It is simple. If you use first class mail or priority mail, use the PO box address. But if you are going to use the services of fedex / ups / or usps express mail then use the street address. I personally used fedex.
I doubt if your number of trips contributed anything to the delay. I am pretty sure its Name Check. But all is over for you. Enjoy!Ksam,

I had over 35 trips in the last five years but was able to complete everything within four months.
Ksam please reply
Are you serious about 35 trips? My spouse was out of country for 300 days in last 5 years, but not a 6 months stretch. It was 4 different trips each for 2.5 months. Would this be issue if i were to file now just before 3 months of finishing 5 years?

NOT a problem at all.

If you are using USPS (United States Postal Service), use this address

I personally used USPS.
Also, I agree with ksam, compared to other DO's, Atlanta has slowed down and is taking 4 months for interview. People who have applied in May are still waiting for interview letter. So I think it is safe for you go ahead and apply.

Yes, you do. You left the country, right? I does not matter for how many days.
I think if you look again you will see that those date are as of May 31st 2009 and they update this every 16th of month.
