Hi All,

I have a question on the local office selection.

I live in upstate NY but I go to New York City all the time, and so I want to have my interview and Oath ceremony in New York City and not in Syracuse or Buffalo office which they tend to always assign to me.

So my questions is . . .

Can we change or request to have our interview happen in a different local office from what we are assigned to? :help:

We had to deal with two field offices, never tried to change that, would cause excessive delays, and not even sure that is possible. My military training thought me that, don't ask questions, just do it. And like the military, was always hurry, then wait, and you have to be very nice and respectful, even when dealing with idiots.

Hi:

In my case I initially requested Fairfax, VA for my interview because I thought it was the only office that provided interview and oath the same day, and since I'm currently living in Germany it make sense to me. But then I realize that other offices offer the same day interview and oat so I call the military line and they transfered my to Nebraska office in which I place my request for the interview office to be change to Newark, NJ. I didn't have any problems or delays with the transfer. This was done before my status show in line for interview scheduling.

Thank you. I'd like to request to have my interview and Oath at Newark, NJ office because they allow the same day interview/oath. Do you think they would accept the request even for a non-military person like me?
