My response was based on the information provided to me by a tier 2 officer whom I posed the same question to last fall while preparing to move from VT to upstate NY (note that the offices of jurisdiction for both of those are within one district on the map you linked to, #2). He told me that the rule was originally implemented to make it harder for people to try pick the field office that would be responsible for their interview. The map you linked to represents the administrative division of field offices into governing districts. It is internal to the USCIS and shows which district office oversees each field office, not who handles your N-400. You can read more about how the USCIS is organized here: https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/directorates-and-program-offices/field-operations-directorate 

 

In short: it is the field office responsible for your place of residence that has jurisdiction over your future case, so if you choose to file after you move, you will have to wait for 3 months.

l got it now, thanks

This is incorrect. NC has 2 USCIS field offices, Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham. SC also has 2 USCIS field offices, Charleston and Greer. You must reside within one office's jurisdiction for 3 months before applying. I do not believe there is currently a USCIS field office that services locations in both NC and SC.

it doesn't say USCIS field office it says :

In general, an applicant for naturalization must file his or her application for naturalization with the state or service district that has jurisdiction over his or her place of residence.

Here is the link for USCIS district map :

Please correct me if i am missing something.  

I am eligible to apply for Naturalization. l live in SC for 4 years but want to move to NC. Both states are in the same USCIS 
district, if l want to apply from NC, do i need to wait for 3 months?

This is the information l found it on USCIS website : 

In general, an applicant for naturalization must file his or her application for naturalization with the state or service district that has jurisdiction over his or her place of residence. The applicant must have resided in that location for at least three months prior to filing.
