Hi Everyone,
Would love your insight into my situation.
I am currently married, and have been for the last 7 years, living in NYC. I applied in July for my N-400 under the 5 years rule online. I did have to show my marriage certificate and give my spouse s information despite that, but I believe it s normal procedure regardless of 3 or 5 years.
I m moving to NJ likely November this year, as I bought a home. My spouse will stay in NYC, as we lease an apartment and my name will remain in the lease/bills, so we ll be living separately (but still married). NJ and NYC are super close anyway. With that, a few questions:
a) As NJ will be my primary residency, should I move my case there, as I believe it s faster and they also do same day oaths or would you recommend I keep the existing case with NYC given I also have residency?
b) What kind of problems can I face (if any) by choosing one state vs the other? Like delays, or questions etc?
C) How do I go about changing the application and requesting a transfer to a new field office?
D) Do you believe I could face issues due to the fact we will be living separately? Or since it s under the 5 years rule, that doesn t apply to my case / the questions around marriage and living arrangement stay minimum?
Thank you so much for all your help
