Hello-

My husband and I have just entered the Removal of Conditions phase (our 90 day window has just started), and are submitting our packet next week to the CSC (we currently live in Illinois). We may have to move to New York for a new job opportunity during the time it takes for our application to be processed. Since NY applicants are handled via the VSC and Illinois applicants the CSC, do you think this would cause a problem? I assume it only matters where you live when you file, as long as we submit a change of address form.

Does anyone have experience with this?

It shouldn't matter as long as you successfully change your address and they know you have a pending application, so your card doesn't get mailed to the wrong place. The areas are just to balance out the workload.

For citizenship , it does matter because there is a requirement that you live in the district of your local office for at least 3 months before you can apply. So say you moved to NY about the time you would be applying for citizenship. You would have to live there 3 months before mailing your application.
