So,I applied for citizenship last March 2014 thru 3 years of marriage.Everything went well but before my oath ceremony we got divorce so they denied me to attend oath ceremony.They sent me a letter about my denial and their decision:This is what my letters says:
" On July 19 2010,you obtained conditional permanent resident status through your spouse in immigration classification CR6 and your condition removed on December 13 2012.USCIS received your Form N-400 on July 01,2014,you appeared for interview to determined your eligibility for naturalization.
Generally,in order to qualify for naturalization under INA 319,you must demonstrate that you have been married to a living in marital union with your U.S. citizen spouse for 3 years preceding the filing of Form N-400 and you must be a spouse of a U.S. citizen from the time of filing the Application for Naturalization until you take the oath of allegiance.During your interview with an immigration officer and review of your record, USCIS approved your case and you were scheduledd for the oath ceremony on April 23,2015.At that time of you oath ceremony it was discovered that you and your husband are divorced,therefore you were removed from oath ceremony.On May 22,2015,USCIS issued a request for evidence(form n-14) requesting a copy of divorced.The record established that you were lawfully married on June 14,2009.On July 22,2014,you and your spouse filed petition to for dissolution of marriage.On July 23,2014,the petition was granted.
Review of the record shows that you have not demonstrated that since becoming lawful permanent resident you have been married to and living in marital union with U.S. citizen spouse for requisite time period in the United States.Therefore, you do not qualify for naturalization at this time."

Now,what can I do ?.Can I reapply now?..Do I need to be married to a US citizen since I came here as K1 to be able to apply for citizenship?..I will be a 6 years greencard holder in July..Please I need help...Thank you very much in advance.

hi

you can re apply 90 days before your 5 years of being a LPR, it is not based on marriage, you will apply on your own and send copy of your divorce decree

You shouldn't have the same problem again because you won't be filing the N-400 based on marriage, you'd be filing as a permanent resident for 5+ years . Since you've been a green card holder over 5 years you qualify to apply for naturalization immediately. As long as you didn't spend more than 6 months out the country then you should be fine and they won't deduct the time from those 5 years. Hope this helps.

hi

don't be, as long as you have 5 or more years of being a LPR, marriage has nothing to do with your application

you will be filing for being a LPR for 5 or more years, as said you will send your copy of divorce decree with the application

short trips don't matter, so no problem

i get here in US as a K1 or fiance visa.. Don't u think i should be marries to a US citizen to be able to apply?..

Hi lovelyyelm,

You don't need to be married to a US Citizen to apply. It doesnt matter if you came in on a K1. As long as you've met the requirements you can file for naturalization. You'd be applying for naturalization based on being a permanent resident for 5 years not marriage.

They might, but that shouldn't be an issue. Just be honest and explained what happen if they do ask.
