Rough N400 interview with Junior Officer

[KL123 5]

@Imperium Yes I can see the confusion there, LOGCAP IV contractors and sub contractors ( KBR, Dyncorp, Fluor etc) were just regular workers , working in military installations ( FOBs ) to provide services and those services varied from logistics, warehousing, cooks to work at the dinning halls , general laborers, plumbing, forklift drivers ,electricians you name it. The use of TCNs was the companies ways  of hiring cheap labor and no we did not have  or needed any military background or affiliation  to be hired. It was cheap labor for the companies and they needed bodies…that’s why there were Africans, Indians , people from Nepal, Fiji etc…My employment contact clearly stated the conditions of employment and to work at a military installation everyone required an LOA( letter of authorization) which the employer sponsored and had its limitations on what that individual can and cannot do...example bear arms…etc. There were also lot of US citizens ( mostly from Texas ) hired under the Logcap IV contracts and had no prior military training or affiliation, they took the jobs because it paid more …

@Imperium Also the average military base here in the states have contract work done on site…those contact employees for the most part have no military training or backgrounds, they are civilians some permanent residents who are qualified and have  passed background checks  but just work on base…now imagine that in a large scale situation where its waay cheaper to get labor from third country nationals and the work is “overseas” where US labor laws do not “technically” apply …I see the big misunderstanding & hopefully I am given the opportunity to clear this confusion

Yes I am familiar with it. There is a difference between active theater and an installation at peace. Afpak POSTCONTSTAB was a threat induced environment. But that discussion is beyond the scope of our issue at hand. Lets focus on how your issue can be resolved. As I stated before, agency-specific background checks are limited in scope because they basically run on NCICISII (National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index) and legacy IAFIS (Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System) apart from IDENT or DHS local. These databases are repositories where fed and state along with international partners contribute information along with pre-approved "Wants and Warrants" features. However "Visa Donkey"  kind of request would reveal a comprehesive amount of info. But they are full of outdated and wrong information as well.

 

US Gov maintained a comprehesive record of all contrators in Afghanistan ranging from 2002 to 2021. I believe the officer questions your credibility and the main faultline appears to be your time in Afghanistan. FOD has very limited say when it comes to adjudication oversight because their role is operational. It is the officer who who has authority vested by the laws to adjudicated your application. I would be gathering paperwork to overcome any allegations.  If you have anything to support your position, it will help you resolve your case sooner. If I were you, I would reach out to Dynacorp or do other opensource searches to supplement my position. I wish you sort this out because at the end of this exhausting immigration journey, we all get so tired and simply wish a happy ending. Good Luck my friend!

What should i expect after a rough n400 interview with a junior officer & got decision cannot be made?

did my N400 interview with my wife present in the waiting area & had a rude & condescending jr officer. Interview took around 45 minutes, I passed the civics and english test & the officer accused me of being in the military, i explained i worked as a TCN( 3rd country national) civilian contractor in Afghanistan as a logistics clerk prior to me ever coming to the states), the officer being a military vet himself did not understand how i was in Afghanistan and not be in the military and accused me of being in the same military base he was in Afghanistan i explained to him the base i was while employed in Afghanistan as he argued that on my A file i have a photo of myself wearing US military uniform(which was a screenshot of a message with my ex) i explained to him that on that instance i was casted as an extra for a film production locally here in my state playing a military guard, which he denied that answer and asked me if i would like to change my answer and admit i was in the military and i promptly said no as i have never been in the military. My attorney interjected several times for the badgering and the interview was stopped and handed decision cant be made. Online status still shows interview scheduled and it’s now 35 days…any thoughts on what to expect, are they doing additional background checks ?? 

Why did you or your attorney not ask yo speak with the junior officer’s supervisor if you felt he wasn’t properly discharging his duties?

My concern is the case will be denied because USCIS claims your lawyer interfered with the interview 

Was that an I-129F or I-130?

 

Did you file to adjust status or did you enter the USA on an immigration visa?

 

Did you get a green card through your ex’s petition?

Does how he entered the states important in the circumstances?I don’t think that makes a difference.

How someone got LPR  status is absolutely relevant.to  their naturalization application.

Absolutely relevant. Naturalization is technically the last chance they have to get you if you committed fraud, for example

For a citizenship interview, EVERYTHING is reviewed to ensure the person rightfully attained legal resident status.  They can (and do) perform a total review.

And by total review that includes reviewing, if applicable,

 

* petitioner of gc got their own gc, if applicable. 

 

* if the naturalization candidate was a derivative gc holder, how the primary gc holder got their gc

Hello everyone a quick update..i want to thank everyone who took their time to share their opinions and criticisms good & bad. I was called in by a supervisor to finish up my interview back in August and in less than 5 minutes it was approved. The supervisor apologized for what happened previously as that officer has handed over all of his cases and outgoing. I will just leave it at that!!!  ( Let God be your vindicator) . US passport already at hand and special thanks to everyone again especially those who took the time to respond to my DM's. All the best!
