Change of address or risking further delay?

[R&OC 371]

We have been waiting for almost two years and spent the last two months to wait for the next available interview slot. I am not sure why but when we filed the n-600, we had Washington DC (Fairfax) as our USCIS field center. It was changed to San Diego, our previous address.

 

We are currently residing overseas and I would like to change it to our local address. Would this cause mayhem or further delay? Possibly a change of USCIS field center again?

I do not currently reside in the United States. Am I still eligible for a Certificate of Citizenship?

Persons who acquired U.S. citizenship and reside abroad should seek evidence of citizenship through a passport application to the Department of State. 

In most cases, one must be living in the United States to apply for a Certificate of Citizenship. 

Generally, you cannot automatically acquire citizenship after birth through your parent if you have not been lawfully admitted for permanent residence to the U.S. However, a parent or legal guardian may be able to apply for naturalization for you under section 322 of the Immigration and Nationality Act if you are under 18 years of age and temporarily present in the United States pursuant to a lawful admission, which includes a lawful admission in non-immigrant status. Please refer to Form N-600K, Application for Citizenship and Issuance of Certificate Under Section 322 for more information.

JeanneAdil, it states „in most cases“ but the kids acquired their citizenship under SOFA/ military overseas orders and count as residing in the US.
