You need to file an appeal first (Form N-336) and you should do this quickly because you only have 30 days to file the appeal. You have two options: file the appeal or, send another N-400 - depending on the wait times for your district office, sometimes filing an N-400 is faster. Remember, USCIS must receive your appeal before 30 days of the decision if you want anything done.

To be honest, I would get a lawyer. Domestic violence is very serious and some people do not naturalize at all from a conviction like that.

Well seems like the biggest thing you didn't convince is what they said. What exactly did you provide to show you aren't hat person in 2009. You need a lawyer.

"to be eligible for naturalization you must demonstrate that you a person of good moral character. additionally you have not established any extenuating circumstances that would warrant a departure from this finding. you are ineligible for naturalization at this time"

You should checked with a lawyer before you filed. I would consult with a lawyer about when you might be eligible

It seems that you applied too early. If you need to speak to an immigration lawyer about it you can do so for $15 instead of paying lots of money to a lawyer and getting the same answer. Go to www.justanswer.com. I used that site when I wanted to get answers regarding immigration and have referred individuals who had "run-ins" with the law. I don't think you need to wait another 10 years. log in and ask the question. Explain your situation in detail so that the lawyer can respond correctly. I copied information on how it works below:

If you’re not happy, we will give your money back.

Wow, that’s a pretty bold statement. But we’re standing by it.

Because when you come to JustAnswer, you get 24/7 access to verified Experts – real specialists who give you customized answers to your questions, one-on-one. You decide how much you pay to use the service and you decide if you’re satisfied with your answer. If you’re not satisfied, you can request a refund for your question … no questions asked.

Think about that. Other services always charge you for their time. For instance, if you took your car to an auto shop, even if the mechanic couldn’t figure out the problem, he’s still going to charge for his time.

At JustAnswer, it works a little differently. First, you pay to ask a question. When you get your answer, you can review it or follow up with your Expert until you’re satisfied. If you're not satisfied with your answer, just let us know and we'll help you re-post your question for a second opinion. Or, if you prefer, we will refund your money ASAP!

Right now, you’re probably thinking, “Are they nuts? How could they possibly run a business that way?” Well, the truth is, the process works great. In fact, because of our site, millions of satisfied customers around the world have received fast, helpful and affordable answers. How can we offer such a totally customer-friendly policy? Because we believe so firmly in the quality of the Experts on JustAnswer.

Here’s a bit about Expert Quality at JustAnswer*:

1. Subject matter test. Every Expert is required to pass an online subject matter test in her respective category.
2. Verify credentials. Every Expert undergoes a screening of his or her listed licenses, certifications, education and/or employment. We then have a leading third-party verification service verify at least one credential for each Expert on the website (e.g. license, certification, educational degree, or employment history).
3. Ongoing review. Experts are subject to ongoing quality reviews by customers, other Experts in their categories, secret shoppers, and the Expert Quality Advisory Board.

(*These processes are yet to be implemented on JustAnswer’s newer .de (German), .es (Spanish) or .jp (Japanese) sites, or the Beta test categories on JustAnswer.com.)

To some people, that might seem like overkill. But not to us.

Because we need that expertise to offer our Shockingly Simple JustAnswer Promise.

You’ve already seen the short version: If you’re not happy, we will give your money back.

Now here’s the version our lawyers and accountants put together.

If for any reason you are unhappy with your answer:

(1) You can ask for another Expert and get a new answer to the question you asked for no extra charge. If you request a refund because you have not received a response, first please check your My Questions page to see if a response waiting for you.

(2) If you prefer, you can request a refund and, in most instances, even initiate that refund yourself. Of course, you can also cancel a subscription at any time. We usually process refund requests within 24 hours; depending on your bank, it can take anywhere from 3-5 business days for funds to be available in your account.

(3) Payments are refundable per the above for thirty (30) days. See Terms of Service for details.

Which is really just a lengthy, legal, lawyer-ish way of saying: If you’re not happy, we will give your money back.

Whichever version you prefer, it’s our way of saying that you have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Our mission is to help people by providing the #1 online platform for them to access verified Experts – quickly, conveniently and affordably. Millions of our customers appreciate that and apparently, so does the Better Business Bureau (at least we think so, because they gave us an A+ rating). In short, by offering our service, we believe that we can improve the world. And for us to declare that mission accomplished, you’ve got to be happy.

Which is why we say: If you’re not happy, we will give your money back.

I agree with several of the posts suggesting the help of a qualified attorney. Normally, I would never suggest an attorney but because of your Charge "Domestic Violence". Domestic Violence in the U.S. is now a very serious offense almost as serious as a felony. Even if it is downgraded to a misdemeanor assault, if it has the words domestic violence anywhere in your case, you will need professional assistance.

In the State of Texas, Domestic Violence can not be removed from your record, even with the help of an attorney!!
