My first citizenship interview

Last Tuesday I had my citizenship interview. I applied after 5 years because I got divorced.

After the 100% test I realized that I'm actually interrogated. She picked all the way back into my marriage/divorce and permanent residency. I received my PR before the divorce was approved by the court.

She seemed to be surprised that I have health insurance and unemployment/disability coverage from the state.

The interview was stopped and I have to mail in some documents:

1. Divorce decree

2. Evidence of viable marriage - bring any document.......

3. Proof of unemployment/disability EDD

I have no problem with 1 and 3. About 2, I have nothing that they don’t already have.

So what now?

What will happen after I'll mail in the docs??

Can they contact my ex?

What if I don’t send anything?

Thanks,

Yoji

Mail it in, and then they will make a decision.

Sure, they can. Will they? Who knows. But yes they could to verify the marriage was real.

If you don't send anything they will decline the application.

How long do I have to mail the docs?

If I don't send anything do I remain with my PR??

Thanks

If you do not respond to the RFE and don't send anything, then at some point your N-400 application will be denied. Of course, you are a Green Card holder and unless USCIS initiates deportation proceedings against you based on fraud they believe they can prove you committed -- which is extremely unlikely -- you can stay a resident until the day you die. But that makes no sense. Send them what you have and unless they really feel they have you by the . . . um. . . collar, you should be approved.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Wouldn't have been a problem if you updated your I-751 with the abuse or hardship clause, but you had to send in plenty of evidence with that I-751, don't you have access to that?

Don't know the reason for your divorce and don't need to know, but if applying via a valid permanent marriage, your ex had to sign the I-751, so if you are guilty of fraud, so can be your ex. USCIS already knows many immigrants that come here end up in divorce, point is, did you enter that marriage in good faith. That is what you have to prove.
