I've heard of people going for their FP to one office and to the interview to another one. Honestly I think it would be Lawrence, since that office has jurisdiction over your case. Just my 2 cents.

Thats what i thought too but realy am not sure , and I cant find Lawrence MA field office processing time's anywhere ,

if I have to go to Lawrence hope it will be a little shorter then Hartford's 8 month ,

what would be the best way to find out where my interview will be anyone know ? and if it Lawrence how long is their processing time ?

I just tried to see if I can find Lawrence and couldn't, so maybe they don't process N400 at that office. I highly doubt it's going to be Boston, because that is in MA and you are living in CT, right? So then, in this case I guess it's going to be Hartford and the person who told you that, didn't know what she was saying?

Just to give you an example, I have a friend who went through something similar for AOS. She lives in Georgia and she was called to have the FP in Jacksonville, FL cause it's closer to her but for the interview, she was called at the Atlanta office which was over 3h drive one way for her, just because Atlanta has jurisdiction over her case.

I'm the Beneficiary

No I dont live in CT I live in western Mass , just across the CT state line  so Hartford would have been the closest

but i think your first advice will be right I might have to go to Lawrence MA they have jurisdiction over my county ( Hamden county),

now the hard part is to find someone else who has to go to Lawrence so I can get an Idea on the aprox wait time

I can confirm that your Field Office will be Lawrence MA if they process N400 (I would call to find out if I were you - (800) 375-5283). You said you live in Hampden County and Lawrence services that count according to the USCIS website: https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/field-offices/massachusetts

Usually, the interview will be scheduled within a month from the time you get the notice. So there is still time for him to study all the questions, and plus they are not that hard. :D

Hello everybody

I sent my N-400 package bassed on mariage 3 years rule with IRS Transcripts for the past 3 years field with my wife.

My question is : Is there can be any issue or problem because i sent the Transcrispts double-sided as way as they came from IRS???

OR i should make a copies of them just one-side?

I'm asking because i spoke with an immigration atorney and she told me that i should make a copies of them and send them one-side...

Please help ,i just start thinking about this and gettin a little bit nervous

Much appreciate your help!

Just a quick question guys...I finished my biometrics. Waiting for in-line interview. Just curious...I plan to travel overseas for about a month in September. Is that ok? Will I ruin my N400 process? I mean do I have to be here entire time until the interview date?

I dont realy want to call , am not sure how true that is but heard if you call it will delay your case

since they have to get your file out  and then they place it back on top of the pile

( which is kinda strange since everything is done on computer but thats what I heard  ) 

but 

yes I belive it will be in Lawrence MA , but if I get lucky it could be in Springfield MA

 I found one person that had his interview in Springfield it only took 4 month from the date of biometrics

 I didnt even know they had an Office there ,

its a Mobile office what is the difference between a mobile field Office and a field Office ?

Nah! you can travel freely abroad, it is just 1 month. Just make sure you are here for your interview. 
Keep in mind this though, even after your interview, you can still travel but if your OATH comes BEFORE your trip date, you can't travel abroad unless you get your US passport first which takes about 1 to 6 weeks to be processed.

That was quick! A little envious over here but time will fly so no biggie (can't do anything about it anyway).

 

USCIS just updated processing times and things seem to be moving at normal speed. No big leaps like I was hoping for.
