Before you file an application or petition with USCIS you should always double check the correct filing location. Filing location can depend on several factors including form type, place of residence, place of employment or eligibility basis. Every few months USCIS changes the filing location for a particular form and as Houston immigration attorneys we are often kept on our toes with all the filing changes. Well, USCIS has done it again. On October 19, 2011 USCIS announced that Naturalization and Citizenship forms must be filed at a secure Lockbox Facility begining on October 30, 2011. USCIS indicates this new procedure is intended to speed up the processing and adjudication of these particular forms by shortening the period of collection and deposit of fees.
Similar to previous changes in filing locations, USCIS has indicated a transition period will be provided between October 30 and December 2, 2011 whereby any form received at local USCIS offices during this period will be forwarded to the USCIS Lockbox facility for processing. After December 2, 2011 any forms received at incorrect locations will be returned to the applicant. The following list is a breakdown of the particular forms each Lockbox will receive:
Phoenix Lockbox: N-336, N-600, N-600K
Dallas Lockbox: N-300. Individuals filing Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, already file at a Lockbox facility.
N-400 are designated to be filed at either the Phoenix or Dallas Lockbox Facility according to the applicant's residence.
