🚨 Important update for anyone applying for U.S. citizenship:
USCIS has ended its general waiver of neighborhood investigations in naturalization cases. This means officers may contact an applicant’s neighbors, employer, coworkers, or business associates to verify information relating to residence, employment, good moral character, and eligibility for naturalization.
This does not mean every applicant will receive a home or workplace visit. USCIS will determine whether an investigation is necessary on a case-by-case basis.
Before filing Form N-400, carefully review your complete history, including prior addresses, employment, travel, taxes, child support, arrests, citations, and previous immigration filings. Even issues that appear minor may now receive closer scrutiny.
