no stats but law firm publishes reasons but following law firm publishes reasons

 

https://www.queensimmigrationlaw.com/common-denial-reasons-n400/

  • Failing the English test. Applicants must be able to demonstrate their knowledge of the English language. Applicants can reattempt the test once, but their application will be denied if they fail a second time.
  • Failing the U.S. history and government test. Applicants must correctly answer at least six questions on a ten-question civics test to be naturalized, drawn from a list of 100 potential questions. The application will be denied if the applicant fails the test twice.
  • Lack of “good moral character.” USCIS will conduct a criminal history check of the applicant, and any arrests or convictions can delay or prohibit naturalization. Some minor offenses will lead to a temporary bar of citizenship, while a conviction for other crimes (including violent crimes, drug offenses, terrorist or hate crimes, or any conviction leading to more than 180 days’ imprisonment) can lead to a longer-term or permanent denial.
  • Failing the physical presence requirement. Applicants must have resided physically within the United States for at least 30 months of the previous five years to apply for naturalization.
  • Failure to pay taxes or other financial obligations. Owing back taxes can serve as grounds for denial of an N-400 application. Applications may also be denied if the applicant has failed to pay child support or other court-ordered obligations.
  • Fraudulent application. Any misstatement to the USCIS or in the application can lead to denial. Some USCIS officials will overreact to even small errors or omissions, believing they undermine the trustworthiness of the whole application. Be careful and thorough to avoid such a denial.
  • Divorce. In order to apply for citizenship within three years of obtaining a green card, the applicant must be married to a U.S. citizen. If the parties have already divorced, the application can be denied.
