Hello folks...I became eligible for citizenship on May 8th, which is 3 years from the date on my 10 year green card. Being that I am married, the wait time is only three years. My question is this. I am having difficulty trying to determine where I would send my application to. The n-400 form says that because I am an Indiana resident, I would send it to Lincoln, Nebraska. Problem is that when I check wait times at the Nebraska Service Center, it does not mention anything about N-400 processing times. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

That's because it doesn't stay at the service center. They'll send it to your local service office. If you check the processing times at your local office, you'll find N-400.

Well not at one for the four service centers anymore according to:

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD


We still send the application to our assigned service center, but somehow moved to a national service center where it apparently redirected to our assigned local field office.

"WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today it has centralized initial processing of all applications for naturalization (Form-400) at its National Benefits Center in Missouri. This change is part of the USCIS initiative to increase the efficiency of case management and improve customer service."

Ha, with all that shifting around, no wonder why some applications get lost.

Ha, I did work for civil service for a couple of years, if you did an excellent job, they would keep you at the bottom, but if you were an idiot, since it took an act of congress to fire you, they would make a supervisor out of you. So the only way to get a promotion was to be an idiot. Then the infrastructure was as such where there were higher echelons of governmental offices, a degree of arrogance if you may of superior people making the rules, when in fact the idiots were running the show. So I quit to go into the private sector where ability resulted in promotions, didn't do to bad, in ten years was a general manage of a fortune 500 company. But that wasn't a good idea either, I quit when my company was moved down to Mexico, my family came first, always had to make the stockholders happy. Did get another position as a consultant that lasted for a long time until that company moved to China. Where my friends that stuck it out with civil service were able to retire with 75% pay and full medical benefits at 55. Plus they never knew when to go to work with all those paid holidays and more vacation leave time than days in the year.

So I am back working indirectly for the government again, but with that civil service experience you learn quickly how to patronized, sure helps in dealing with the USCIS, but hopefully in another month, it will finally be over with.

No plans on dumping my wife, she is too precious for that, but do get some motivation from the USCIS not even to look around, sure don't want to go through this again, ever.
