Hello,  
Had my Naturalization interview Yesterday. Passed the written, oral and civics test. I had been arrested before and I submitted all my legal paperwork and certified judgement of conviction paperwork as well, at the end of the interview she asked if I was placed on probation and I said yes which I completed in 2016. she asked if I have the paperwork to show her that I complete the probation and I told i told her I didn't have the paperwork with me but I can sure get certified one from my probation officer and was given a paper at the end that N-14 would be sent out to me that I should follow the instructions and submit all the requested documents.

 

My question now is, What are my chances? Anyone with similar situation or experience please?

By law, someone on probation cannot be approved for naturalisation. So you need to prove that you are no longer on probation.

Your chances are good if you can get proof of completed probation to USCIS.  Start to move on getting that document from your probation officer now, as well as anything else surrounding the completion of your probation/proof of any fines paid/proof of court-ordered classes completed/etc.---you'll normally have only 30 days to respond to the N-14.

As I stated in my topic, I completed my probation in 2016. I just have to go get the paperwork from my probation officer and I have in ready while waiting for IO to send me the form she said she will mail to my address.

I called my probation officer and set an appointment with her to come to office on Monday to get the paperwork showing I complete my probation while I await the form in the mail hopefully she will get to it soon.
