USCIS Posts Three New Updates

06 Jun 2008

USCIS announced this week that it has centralized the processing of all naturalization applications to its National Benefits Center in Missouri. Forms N-400, the Application for Naturalization, should now be sent to the organization’s Missouri Benefits Center. USCIS also announced this week that it intends to issue new cards for the Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection program. These new cards will include certain enhanced security features that will allow U.S. citizens to be in compliance with the requirements of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. A final change announced by USCIS this week is an address change of the organization’s lockbox to a new address in Chicago in late May. USCIS notes that the post office address will remain the same; however, mail delivered via private courier has change to:

USCIS:
Attn:
131 South Dearborn, 3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60603-5517

Please note that courier services have agreed to forward packages to the new address for 90 days, up to August 2008. USCIS has also noted that they will accept and process without delay cases that are otherwise properly filed.
