USCIS Update: USCIS Revises Direct Mail Program for the Application for Naturalization
WASHINGTON - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it is revising the Direct Mail Program for the Application for Naturalization (Form N-400).   The notice of this addition is effective on Jan. 22, 2009, and is published in today’s Federal Register.   The notice advises the public to file non-military N-400s with the appropriate Lockbox facilities and provides a 30-day transition period after the effective date for USCIS service centers to forward N-400 applications received at their facilities to the appropriate Lockbox location. Applicants should continue to file military N-400 cases with the Nebraska Service Center (NSC).   In order to assist military spouses, NSC will also accept and process N-400s filed by spouses of military members. Source: USCIS Revises Direct Mail Program for the Application for Naturalization (Form N-400)
