Hell All,

I have submitted N400 form at end of August 2016 for my son. Noticed that he received IOE number.
Finger prints are done at beginning of Oct. Since then no updates. Called USCIS.
I heard from colleague who filed in Oct 2016 got citizenship at Dallas FO.

Do I need to do anything on my son's case to expedite his case?

He can wait but main concern is he is recently graduated from college got fulltime job in another state.
He will move there soon. Seems he won't get interview before he leaves.
We been filing his taxes seaparetly ( not claimed him as our dependent) with our home address.

In this case do i need to inform USICS about his move?

Please advise.

thanks
sirin
 
Which country are you from? How old is your son? When did you become a citizen? Was it before his 18th birthday? Call USCIS and ask to speak to a Level 2 officer to see whether his case is stuck in background check. I filed in early August and became a citizen three days ago but I am in Baltimore. He should at least be getting his interview date by now, it's taking a bit too long.

Check http://www.trackitt.com/usa-immigration-trackers/n400 for Dallas Field Office to see how long it's taking there on average. From what I see Dallas is taking longer than normal, about eight months from submission to interview.
 
Thanks for your reply.

I tried to talk with L2 officer no luck since last week. I will try on monday agian.
My son is 20 years old. Indian.
We all got green cards 5 and half years ago. We both (parents) have not applied citizenship yet.

We live in Dallas, but he is moving to other state for job. Confused that should I submit AR11 form or not?

please share your knowledge.
 
Technically you should file AR-11 however bear in mind if you do so, it will only cause the process to take longer because they will want to reschedule his interview for the Field Office in the new location he is moving to. Personally after submitting an application to USCIS I don't like to change things because it tends to affect the time they take to continue processing. As you can see from here (https://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/forgot-to-notify-immigration-services-about-my-cha-1230060.html), USCIS does not enforce the change of address requirement.

I would say in his case, a young man who does not need citizen immediately because of e.g. a Federal job/moving overseas etc, it is best if you do everything the right way even if it will delay his application by a few weeks.
