False claim of US citizenship's effect on ROC and Naturalisation.

[subwayguy 100]

Earlier this year, I accepted a new job and had to submit an I9.

I am a conditional permanent resident and I said so on my i9. I sent out all my paperwork and few days later when I checked my employee profile (ADP) I realised my i9 says I am a US citizen ( and it passed e-verify and had a receipt number)

I contacted my HR right away and she corrected my i9 and now it says I am a permanent resident.

my question is, would this trigger the "false claim of us citizenship" when USCIS examines my ROC and naturalisation?

Thank you.

No. It's not your fault and you got it corrected.

No. Not at all.

If it went through e-verify there likely is some kind of a record of it and it can trigger at least a question during N-400 - but since you never claimed yourself, you should be able to explain it and it shouldn't be a problem.

IIRC, you'd be in trouble if you claimed to be a USC to receive an immigration benefit (be allowed into the country at the border, work without authorization, etc.) but it sounds like that's not what happened at all anyways.
