proof of 90 days residence

I got to say I was never ask for my drivers license. When I first entered the "second lobby" I called it she ask me for some picture ID to make sure it is really me so I ask her if my Military ID is good enough and she said yes. Never had to show my license.
 
After you go to your interview, come back and tell us whether the IO asked for your license. If the IO follows standard interview procedures, you'll be asked for your state id at the same time as your GC and passport.

You can debate all you want, but I'VE BEEN THERE, handed over the aforementioned docs and gone through the application line by line. Of course the IO takes your verbal word for it if he's already holding a state issued document indicating the same facts...

My point was that the 90 day residency requirement is already proven by your residency history on application and verbal questions by IO, not by a driver's license since a driver's license address may not have been updated after a move. I'm not disputing the fact that the IO may ask for your driver's license at the interview, but I question whether they ask for it as proof of the 90 day residency requirement rather than as an additional piece of general identification.
 
I agree with that. When you apply usually (there are rare cases) where everything is done and over with in 90 Days so yea. If you don't change your address because it is not needed and they send the letters to the address to the place on your Appliation it pretty much is the main proof you can show but let's say you moved out of state and have someone getting your mail from that address for example until the whole ordeal is over with they might catch you later and snitch the citizenship right away from underneath you since you are under oath when you take the Interview and you have lied. Just an insider. Not accusing anyone of doing it
 
Applications are first entered at the Service Center, then after FP, IBIS & Namecheck, they are transferred to the DO for interview. The in-depth checking and analysis is the responsibility of the IO, and happens prior/during the interview.

My understanding is that N-400 processing times are only published for DO's but it seems that the bulk of the work falls on USCIS/FBI checking ..etc. By the time the case is forwarded to the DO, most of the work is already done, right? That being said, would it be faster to process a case in a DO serving a relatively smaller city (smaller population)?
 
I'm in the Washington, D.C. area. The DO here is the slowest(or the second slowest) in the country for N-400 processing(14 months). I don't see why anybody would want to pretend to live here and file at this district office. :D

It would be different if someone deliberately files N-400 using a Mt. Laurel, NJ address. Someone said the processing time there is only two months... :eek:

In the end, I think the USCIS could care less if you actually live here. Remember, every single word that you put on the N-400 must be 100 percent true. :) Dont' even lie about your weight. :D :D :D I saw a co-worker printing out her N-400 application. She put down 115 pounds as her weight. I thought to myself "yeah, right...wishful thinking" :D She's got a nice body ;) , but definitely more than 115. I didn't have the heart to say anything. I just hope the IO doesn't ask her about that one... :D
 
LOL that reminded me about the discussion I had with my Husband when I filled my N-400 out. I was 7 Month pregnant at that time and wasn't sure to put in my current weight or my usual weight

Oh no, I have no intention of presenting false information on my N-400. I happen to "belong" to a smaller city and it seems that the N-400 processing time is around 7 months for that city. So I was just wondering if smaller population means less time to process the N-400 application.

Your example breaks this theory, but I still think that 7 months isn't too bad .. that of course if the case doesn't get stuck in FBI name checking for ages ..

ah one more thing, my advice is to never discuss a girl's weight or age... stay out of trouble :) ..

I completely agree with boatbod.

You can tell him/her the right thing to do and present the odds but let the applicant decide how much of an air-tight case, he/she wants to build.
 
Part 6 of N-400

We are applying for my Mom's citizenship.

She stayed with us from 2004-2007 in San Jose, but traveled to India for almost 6 months - she returned on July 3rd.

Does her India address need to be listed on Part 6? Do we wait for 90 days before we file for her citizenship?

Of course, we will list her India travel in Part 7 c.
