Field Office vs CA Service Center question

Hello,

Does N-400 cases handled in Field Offices or Service Center?

I called INS last month to check my case and I received 4 different answers.
1. My case is not found
2. My case hasn't assigned to Field Office
3. Computer down or slow they couldn't pull my records
4. Requested letter if I am missing any thing or where is it my case.

Thanks for the inputs.

My understanding...
  1. You submit your application to a service center
  2. They schedule all of the checks (background, name, fingerprint)
  3. They put you in a district office specific "interview queue"
  4. When the last of
    • All of your checks are completed
    • Your turn comes up in interview queue
    happens, your interview gets scheduled and your file gets transfered to the district office
After that, the district office "owns" you. If things screw up, you fall off of the fast track, and months go by.
 
Thanks for the advice.

What do you mean by district office? Do you mean field office?

I must fall off the fast track :-(

:) I know what you mean by raising the fees.

I called them again and my papers are out of process time. They are going to research my case and send me letter.
