Why do people keep creating "Month of filing" threads? it's unlogical and irrelevant

[Stef and Kel 0]

There really isn't a district office per se, rather a group of field offices that form a district as the USCIS shows as follows:

District 1

Boston, Massachusetts*

Manchester, New Hampshire

Portland, Maine

Providence, Rhode Island

District 2

Albany, New York

Buffalo, New York*

Hartford, Connecticut

St. Albans, Vermont

What does the asterisk mean?

Now I am hearing about background checks on the N-400 causing delays as was the I-751, I never read where the USCIS is doing background checks for these two applications, but they certainly did background checks for the initial immigration procedure and they did issue green cards to either us or our spouses and we had to send in a ton of proof both for the US citizen and the immigrant before we were approved.

Nick, I do know that a background check/biometrics are required as written in the M-476 document - the Guide for Naturalization. It is what it is.

True a lot can happen in four years since the first background check, but even if a born US citizen commits a felony, many of his/her citizenship rights are lost by this grievous act. And in the case of an immigrant they can be deported so how can they even apply for a N-400 if they are not here or in jail? Should only take minutes to do a background check, yet this is adding months to the applications, so they say.

And if a person did commit murder, rape, or rob a bank and never was caught, how would the USCIS know this? Certainly would not be any record in any background check. Unless that person answered yes to that question. Sure doesn't sound like a foolproof plan, in the meantime, the rest of us have to wait.

Excuse me for trying to make sense out of our laws.

Field Office Structure

Accordingly, the following is the USCIS' Domestic Operations field office management structure. While management districts will be identified by number rather than by location, the list also indicates

(by asterisk) the city where the district manager will be located:
