prakash001 Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Hi All, Greetings to every one. I am in a peculiar situation and would greatly appreciate a quick answer from anyone. My Otht ceremony was scheduled on 27th Mar at 9:30 AM and I understand that the USCIS offices are closed till the 1st Apr 20. This may continue for sometime till the epidemic is under control. and I do not know when the ceremony will take place. With this said, my employer is laying off some of the work force which could include me.. I was at the same USCIS district office for an year before I went for my Naturalization interview. Do I need to continue staying in the same USCIS district till my oath ceremony is scheduled or can I move out to another state and come for the oath ceremony when it is due.

pontevecchio Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Do you not have a house at the present location? Quote Link to comment
prakash001 Posted March 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 I do have a rented apartment and my family will be staying here. Only I want to move out to a nearby state if I lose my job here, but will be coming for the week ends. Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 A residence is not physical presence. It is where you get your mail, pay your local and federal taxes and where you normally reside. Quote Link to comment
prakash001 Posted April 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Thank you for your response. I agree with your definition of residency. However my question is; I was a resident of the St. Louis, Missouri, USCIS district for an year before I went for the naturalization interview. My Oath ceremony is pending and do not know when it will happen. Under these circumstances, can I move out of Missouri and comeback and take the Oath ceremony when I get the letter from USCIS? A quick reply would be appreciated. Thank you Quote Link to comment
