Moving to Ohio for faster processing?

[Bobsmyth]

Since Ohio DOs seem to be the fastest in processing applications, has anyone seriously considered moving to Ohio after they file in the hopes that their application would be processed quicker?

Now there's an idea for a US business...helping applicants from other states relocate to Ohio for a few months to complete naturalization process.

As soon as this happens, the DHS will come up with a law that, "in the name of national security", prohibits all permanent residents from leaving their state of residence without a visa and a re-entry permit. Going to another state for any reason at all will be deemed a break in permanent residence; the violator's green card will be revoked, and the violator will be deported, if he/she moves to another state to file for immigration benefits.

Moving to a different district AFTER filing something is always something to avoid, if possible. Your file has to be physically moved to the new office, and this often involves considerable delay.

You should A) move BEFORE you file and B) THink about how much relocation costs are... etc... etc...

Is it *really* worth it? Only the person in the situation would know I guess...

Being that this thread is fairly light-hearted, how about this for a new insult for permanent residents seeking naturalization (in the spirit of "may lightning strike you dead"): may you be stuck in name check.
