In short, are we still able to file hubs n400 considering everything that is going on with the covid19 shut downs? Literally just got my hands on the last thing needed and now who knows, I know in person things at immigration offices are suspended for now but that is 5-12mo away based on timelines. What about just filing? Worth it or wait? Hopefully someone here can clear it up.
