Selecting Field Office?

@Lukas97 It appears, according to your time line, that adjustment of status must be filed no later than early November (expiration of the I-94) to avoid being out of status and subject to deportation........just food for thought....good luck....

This thread has been immensely helpful.

 

Based largely on the information shared on this forum, we are likely going to move back to Tucson in the next few weeks, sign a lease, and start the GC app immediately and begin looking for jobs. We will be 'living' there for the most part, with all our possessions, though we willgo away on short domestic trips (a few weeks to Puerto Rico) over the winter.

 

The AOS in Tucson should, if processing times stay constant, take 6-8 months. Compare this with Phoenix - 17+ months - where we won't have a stable address anyway. With my job, I can maintain a stable address for 6-8 months, but not 1.5-2 years for Phoenix.

 

So we are moving - residence, jobs, utilities, credit card billing address, driver's license - mostly to shave a year off the GC process. In my interpretation this could not be misconstrued as 'gaming the USCIS' that I was warned about in this thread. I lived, worked, got a degree, and bought a car in Tucson over three years, and truly do like the city.

 

The address we use at the start of the application will be the same one we use at the end, for the interview, and the GC mailing. During this time it will be our one, and only, residence.

I like Tucson, too.  I especially like Mt Lemon..........

Recommend reading this post from an OTR truck driver and some of the issues they encountered with USCIS interviews during Naturalization.  Although not directly related to AOS processes, it may give you an idea of the kinds of issues that you could experience.

 

I’m the OP of that thread. It ended well for us. Matter of fact, my wife has her oath ceremony this week. 

 

Sounds like the OP of this thread should consult with a lawyer though, because their situation is completely different from mine. I’m not “residing” in other places. In my case there could be no argument made that I reside anywhere other than TN, even though I hardly ever see “home.”
