Where to send naturalization application form?

Where to send naturalization application form? Form N-400 is called the “Application for Naturalization” and is used by Green Card holders who are ready to apply for U.S. citizenship after meeting eligibility requirements. Filing this form means the first step of “naturalization,” the process of becoming an American citizen.

Where you must send the N-400 application depends on whether you choose to send your file online or by mail. If choose filing by mail, the USCIS address will depend on the state in which you live and the delivery service you choose.

If you’re applying based on your military service, you will send your N-400 to a different address, depending on the delivery way you choose.

USCIS provides a list of the addresses to which applicants must send their N-400. We recommend you make a copy of your completed N-400 before you submit it to USCIS.

The citizenship interview usually concentrates on the answers you provided on your naturalization application, for this reason, is strongly recommended you review those answers prior to attending your interview.

Form N-400: Application for Naturalization

When you submit Form N-400 on paper,  USCIS will mail you an Account Acceptance Notice with instructions on how to create an online account to track and manage your case.

USCIS will process your application even if you do not create an online account, but we encourage you to create and access your online account. According to USCIC information, they will continue to mail copies of notifications about your case.

Naturalization applicants must include documents in their Form N-400 to prove their requirements. So, if you file your application online, you will need to upload digital copies of these documents to your online USCIS account.

What Documents Do I Need to Send with My N-400?

Required documents for all applicants include:

• A copy of your Green Card (Form I-551, officially called the “Permanent Resident Card”);
• Application fee payment (by check or money order, with your A-Number written on the back, or by credit card using Form G-1450);

Some applicants must submit additional supporting documents with their N-400, based on their circumstances, including:

• Proof of your current marital status, if you’re married or were previously married (marriage certificate, divorce papers, annulment certificate(s), and/or death certificate(s) for former spouses);
• Two 2-inch-by-2-inch passport-style photos, if you live and are applying from abroad;
• Form N-426, officially called the “Request for Certification of Military or Naval Service,” if you’re applying for citizenship based on your military service;
• Form N-648, officially called the “Medical Certification for Disability Exceptions,” if you’re applying for an exemption to the U.S. citizenship test based on a qualifying medical condition;

The fee for filing an N-400 is $725, including $640 for processing and $85 for biometrics services, both non-refundable whether the application is approved or denied.

Can I file my N-400 online?

Yes, you may file your N-400 online except if you are applying from abroad or are applying for a fee reduction or waiver, in which case you must use the paper Form N-400 and file by mail.

To apply online, you must create an online account with USCIS and sign your application electronically. Don’t forget to type your full name at the end of the application.

How long does it take to process Form N-400?

It is hard to predict how much time it will take to process your Application for Naturalization. In general, in two or three weeks’ time after you filed the application, USCIS will send a confirmation to your mailing address. After that, USCIS will also notify you about the appointment to get your biometrics data, which is usually set in 1-2 months. The entire process may take 6 to 12 months.

If you want to contribute to the rapid processing of your Application for Naturalization, we strongly recommend filing the form with all the necessary documents. You should also fill out the form correctly and pay the exact filing fee. Don’t forget to attend the biometrics appointment and send the documentation that USCIS may request after they received your application.
