I requested a name change on my N400 and sent it in a few days ago. I live near the Sacramento office though my permanent address is near the San Francisco office. It seems that both only do administrative offices. Does this mean that my name change will automatically be denied? I think it's unfair that those of us who live close to those offices are going to end up paying $400+ for a name change that is free for others going through the naturalization process in other cities...! Is it possible to request a different office with judicial ceremonies? I would rather just buckle up and make a drive to Fresno than have to go through more forms and fees to have my name changed.
