If you're denied citizenship, what happens to your status?

Say they deny you citizenship, do you just continue as a LPR, or does that become void?

You stay as an LPR. Unless you got denied for example because you claimed US citizenship before and voted before. Then you are in big trouble.

it will depend, really, on whether or not a deportation order is issued by an immigration judge at an immigration court.

no deportation order? you remain a LPR.

deportation order? time to leave USA.

Remember, you MUST maintain yer LPR status, irrespective of your USCitizenship casefile status until you become a USC.

unless, of course, you have a deportation order .

Denial of citizenhsip will not affect the person's permanent resident status. The reasons for the us citizenship form getting rejected may be many and this will only lead to a re-application of the same.

Some real life examples, if you failed your civics test, told to study and get a free second chance, if you fail that, out 680 bucks and reapply later, still a LPR. If told you have 30 days to give proof of a payment of a 40 year old parking ticket or they insist on you sending in a joint utility bill and you don't respond within that time period, again out 680 bucks, still a LPR.

If you answered NO to ever committing a crime you were never caught for, but they find out you did, then its goodbye to the USA. Or misrepresenting any answer from the time you received your AOS.

As long as you study and are 100% honest and comply with their request, no matter how ridiculous, you won't have any problems. Some delays of course. Still can't believe how wonderful our IO was during our AOS stage at St. Paul, is it because I was there with my girls? But both their IO's were terrible during their citizenship interview, but my senator took care of that.

Have to bring in racial prejudice, woman at our AOS was an American, the two interviewers were evidently immigrants themselves judging by their inability to speak understandable English. But requests were absurd to say the least, and my girls of German descent are Hispanic in culture only. Really quite a war going around here between Hmongs and Hispanics, but as I said, my senator took care of that. Really don't feel it is right to only have one interviewer, as I said before, with any other governmental agency I have to deal with where certification is required, you meet with a board, and not one life or death to you single person. This is not right, nor fair to the applicant.
