Retracting N-400

[Adujarric 67]

Quick question guys i just found out one of my coworkers under an erroneous advise submitted his N-400 thinking he could do so because of his American born child. I explained to him that he could have only done  it early through marriage with a US citizen which is not. He has only been in the country 3 years 8 month which i know his application will get deny do to early filing. My question is if he retracts the application he will still lose his money right. USCIS is not in the business of refunding hence the reason why they would let him complete the whole process including biometrics yesterday lol.

No refunds. 

Is he married to a USC?

No he is not, he come to the US by his father a us citizen who petitioned him as an adult.

No refund. Biometrics is scheduled before any assessment of the application apart from completed signed forms and correct payment. Expensive mistake but it will not cause any problems when he applies again

I think he should withdraw N-400 ASAP to avoid denial. It's an unnecessary record in his file, if he gets denied. He would not receive any refunds.

It is very clear what the qualifying requirement is, he can read it himself.

If he doesn't want to listen, that's not your problem. Let him find out on his own.

Thank you for this after i read it i was able to find it in Spanish on the USCIS website & sent him the link. I guess if he decides to withdraw the application what would be the way to do it? A formal letter to USCIS stating he wishes to withdraw the application & a brief reason why?.

There is an English language requirement

 

No need to explain why
