If you are eligible to apply for naturalization to U.S.
citizenship, it may be best to apply sooner rather than later.
The reason is because the Immigration Service (U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Service or USCIS) is considering edits to the N-400 Application for
Naturalization form.
The current
N-400 naturalization application may more-than double in its
number of pages. The comment period regarding the proposed
changes closed on February 19, 2013, so consideration of the
comments has begun. It isn't clear when any revisions may
take effect and whether the N-400 application filing fee will also
increase.
While many of the additional questions and documentation
requirements may not apply to all applicants, it could still be the
best course of action to simply file now if you meet the
eligibility requirements and want to apply for U.S.
citizenship. Note that it is possible that revisions could
retroactively apply to those whose applications are pending
