What to do about college students and applying for naturalization from either their college or home address?
I know that college students are considered to live at both their college and their home, and so can apply for naturalization from either place. I have several follow-up questions to this. I have a my son who goes to college in one state and I live in another (different district). He has no long-term permanent residence at college (moves to a different dorm each year) but he does have a long-term mailing address (a PO box). My son meets all eligibility requirements for naturalization. Does the reported home address determine where the fingerprinting, interview, and oath will be done? If he wants to have the fingerprinting, interview, and oath done in the state in which he goes to college, can he still write his (mine) address?

He can indicate his college address as his current residential address and he can indicate your address as his permanent address.� Once the application is filed and he is called for fingerprinting appointment, he should be able to go where he goes to school.
