Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

The Naturalization application requires that you put the address down where you reside as your home address. This is the address which will mandate the local USCIS jurisdiction where you will ultimately be interviewed. To avoid confusion, since you will only get notification at one address, it may be safest to have your mailing address as Las Vegas, since I assume that you will get that mail too. On the other hand, there is no rule against indicating a different mailing address, such as Los Angeles (and Las Vegas as your home address). Another option is to have an attorney assist you, and this way the attorney would also get notified with the various notices that you will get throughout the process (receipt notices, fingerprinting notices, interview notices, request for evidence, etc.). If you haver further questions, you may phone our office at 415-387-1364.

The answers to your question are yes and yes, but that doesn't mean that the government doesn't make errors and sometimes send to the wrong address. They provide a couple of weeks notice for things, so you shouldn't be gone from your residence for too long in case they send the notices to the wrong address.

The above is informational and not intended as case specific information. To be advised on your case, you must establish an attorney client relationship with me. This is done by consulting and then agreeing in writing for me to be your lawyer.
