N400 Denied, Need Suggestions

[narnia2020 11]

Hello Everyone, I need some inputs from experts in this forum. My application for naturalization is denied 9 Expecting denial letter any time soon )

Reason : I filed my application of March 9th, 2020 in Cleveland. I was just moved to Cleveland on 01/15/2020, so not able to justify three months residency in current jurisdiction. 

 

Interview officer wen on my civics question and reading and writing skills and then started going through my application, and he found that by the time I applied my stay in Ohio is 52 days only and the requirement is 90 days. I really don't know how I missed it though :(. Officer told me he is rejecting my application and will receive a denial letter soon.

 

After doing some research on VJ, I found that I did satisfy my residency in current state requirement. Here is the reason why I think its a mistake from office.

 

I got GC on 06/01/2015, Five years will complete by 05/30/2020, where as I applied on based on 90 days early filing. For early filing the current state of res1dency requirement seems different. See the below statement.  

 

D. 90-Day Early Filing Provision (INA 334)

      "In cases where an applicant has filed early and the required three month period of residence in a state or service district falls within the required five-year period of continuous residence, jurisdiction for filing will be based on the three-month period immediately preceding the examination on the application."

 

As per the above statement by 05/30/2020 I am meeting the required 90 days stay in current jurisdiction.

 

I am thinking of appealing my denial, please suggest.

 

Thank You!

You stated: not able to justify three months residency. I think that's the reason for rejection. <90days

Hi - Could you share how the IO found out that you've not met the 90-day requirement? is it because of the address start date listed on your application? Did the IO ask you if you can prove it by producing any mail/other address proof?

From what I understand, you need to be a resident of the state or jurisdiction (ohio or cleveland) for at least 3 months before you can file an application.

Hello All,

I submitted N336 - appeal for my rejection. Received Interview letter for April 20th. Can some one through some light on what to prepare for N336 Interview ?

 Also I did passed my civics test at the time of N400 interview, do they ask these questions again ?

 

Please throw some light.

 

Thank you!
