If you become US citzen based on 3 years marriage...and after two months becoming US citizen you decided to file a divorce under no fault.. as new jersey requires minimum 12 month separation.. as my lawyer(family law) told me that we can put 13 or 14 months old date for separation.. my question is.. is there any problem with citizenship become at the time of interview u told them that we are living together..and we were...but in divorce care u write wrong dates for separation to get early divorce... is there any problem in this case.....will immigration note that in future somewhere..??

If USCIS ever decides to look at your case again, for whatever reason, yes, I see a problem. Because if you tell the IO on your interview date that you've been living in a married union with your spouse for the past three years and then file a document in court that you've actually been separated for part of that time, it's obvious you must have lied to one government official. Either the IO or the court. If they prove that you lied to the IO it could be grounds for revoking your citizenship.

So, I would either put off the divorce or your citizenship.

NEVER good to lie with USCIS. You probably will be OK unless your ex mate or someone turns you in. Then you will be in DEEP da kine!

Well, yes, I see an issue. Firstly, your attorney is encouraging you to state an untruth. If you are required to living seprately and apart for 12-18 months, and you weren't, then placing a false date on the divorce documents is wrong. Convenient, perhaps, but wrong all the same. Secondly, successful Naturalisation requires that you were actively residing with your wife for 3 years prior to the interview. If you were residing together and wish to gain US citizenship, then do so, but for heaven's sake, decide what is important to you. If it is US citizenship - then delay the separationa and divorce. If it is to become a single man - then wait an additional 2 years to become a citizen. Why are you trying to get both through falsification of the facts?
