USCIS Update: USCIS Revises Direct Mail Program for the Application for Naturalization (Form N-400)

(0 votes, average: 0 out of 5)

WASHINGTON - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it is revising the Direct Mail Program for the Application for Naturalization (Form N-400).   The notice of this addition is effective on Jan. 22, 2009, and is published in today’s Federal Register.   The notice advises the public to file non-military N-400s with the appropriate Lockbox facilities and provides a 30-day transition period after the effective date for USCIS service centers to forward N-400 applications received at their facilities to the appropriate Lockbox location. 

Applicants should continue to file military N-400 cases with the Nebraska Service Center (NSC).   In order to assist military spouses, NSC will also accept and process N-400s filed by spouses of military members. 

Effective Jan. 22, 2009, applicants must submit Form N-400 and related supplements to one of two new USCIS Lockbox facilities for initial processing, using the following addresses:

If You Reside In:   Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Territory of Guam, or Northern Mariana Islands, file your N-400 with:
