Hi,

Any one who applied N-400 from the delaware state, please post your timelines here. Your information will be very helpful for people who are going to apply for the citizenship.

Thanks
 
I have seen posts from some applicants from Delaware in the Philadelphia thread. They had the interview in Philadelphia and the oath in Delaware.
(I had the I-485v interview in Philadelphia).

Thanks for sharing the information. You submitted your N-400 application from NSC and not vermont. I assume that you moved to DE area after you file your application. It took 5 months to get an Interview letter?
 
I was living in Southern NJ (near Philadelphia) until November 2006. I was transferred to Michigan and waited for 3 months before filing to the NSC. It seems that Cherry Hill/VSC takes 3 months longer to process N-400 applications than Detroit/NSC. My application filed in March 2007 is processed roughly at the same time as applications filed in November 2006 by Southern NJ residents (Cherry Hill DO).

.. and if you had come to St. Paul, it would have been 3 months less than Detroit. And if it was San Jose, add almost 9 months. That office seems to be the slowest and more so compared to San Francisco.

Hi,

Thanks for keeping this thread alive. From what i read from this forum (Philadelphia area) I infered that Delaware takes longer time for processing the N-400 application than other places. Any thoughts?
 
NSC (serving my District Office) is definitely going faster than other Service Centers. Within the area served by the Vermont, smaller offices are faster than larger ones. You may find that applications transferred to the Philadelphia DO take a little long; the thread for Alexandria VA serving Washington DC shows longer processing times. Differences in processing times may be caused by the number of applicants (larger number in urban areas) as well as the size of the District Offices in relation to the population they serve (if a DO has ample space it may be able to schedule more interviews than smaller offices).
 
I thought the N-400 application filed in VSC from DE state sent to Dover, DE. Finger printing and Interview scheduled in the same office but oath can happen either in Phili or in Wilmington or Dover. So is there any possiblity that they can send my files to Phili?. It is considered as a field office in different state.

I am eligible to apply N-400 only in Dec 2007.
 
By then the USCIS will have opened all applications submitted in July but many of them still will be in process.
 
sankaranr,

please read Philadelphia forum. There were a number of DE residents contributed to that forum.

As for your process, you will get your fingerprints taken in Dover, interview in Philadelphia and oath in Delaware, likely Wilmington/Newark (unless some unusual circumstances). You also have an option going for INFOPASS in Dover if you have any questions.

The most important part of the whole process is interview, and since it is Philadelphia, that is where people post their experinces.
