I read somewhere that among the GENERAL requirements for naturalization there is a point that says "Have lived within the State or USCIS District for at least 3 months prior to filing"

what do they mean by that?

I've been living here in USA for almost 4 yrs, but I went on vacation outside of USA for a month and I got back last April, is that the case that I have to wait for other 3 months before asking for the naturalization or they mean that during all this time I have been living here in USA at least I've lived for 3 months in the same State before filing?

Has anybody started the process for naturalization right after coming back from a vacation of 3 weeks or a month and there was no problem for it?

Tks for helping me to clarify this point!!!!!!!

All this requirement states is that if you lived in State A and then moved to State B and were eligible to apply for naturalization, you have to have lived in State B for 3 months before you can apply.... taking a vacation has nothing to do with it and from the little information you provided - it sounds like you lived in the same district for the past 4 years(?) so you are good to go....

Hi,

My son just pass his interview for US Citizenship Natualization, however he got a letter from CIS

that the decision was denied due to not had resided in California for three monthes. I have no idea

about this requirement. So what can he do now for next ? Should he wait few monthes to re-apply the

N-400 form and pay 675.- again ? Or should he re-apply right now since he have already resided in

the same State over three monthes ? I would be appreciated if any one can give me the best choice.

Thank you.

Show them proof that he resided in the state - bills, ID, mail in his name sent to CA address.
