Citizenship request for evidence

[Nashmusah 29]

Can anyone help me out,  I attended my citizenship interview today, after the interview the officer said I passed the exam but why my driving license not changed to the state I have my interview for four years now.

However she told me is not cool and she gave me a form N-652 and was telling me to follow the instructions on form N-14 . That my decision can't be taken now .

Please what does that mean, any advice is welcome 🙏🏿

Each state requires residents to have  in state DL .. usually within 10-30 days of moving there. You should have done this when you moved. Do it now. Follow the information given to you by the IO..

Op, you must be a resident of the State or district where you are applying for 3 months before you can apply for naturalization. How did you proof this requirement in application or interview?

You were not approved on the stop because the officer believes you didn't meet this requirement because your drivers license said so. Plus as LPR, USCIS requires you to inform them of new address whenever you move.

 

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-6

"In general, an applicant for naturalization must file his or her application for naturalization with the state or service district that has jurisdiction over his or her place of residence. The applicant must have resided in that location for at least three months prior to filing."

Is rather unfortunate I did not change my driving license but I was at that state for four years,  all my taxes are in that state which proof that. 

Look I work at the airport in that state four years too but neither the Port Authority requested for change of my ID nor my company,  that  why I didn't take it serious.

Then I don't think you should have any issues. I assume form N-14 is asking you for more proof so you shouldn't you issues proofing that. What does the N-14 say?

Not yet received the N-14 she is talking about,  this had happened yesterday Saturday. So I don't actually know what that N-14 is about.

The N14 is the instructions info for you to fix the issue.

Well … USCIS does. And so would the state / county Police if you had been stopped while driving with an out of state licence after the required grace period expired. Would have had a citation to add to the N400 then 
 

Did you file the AR11 with USCIS .. or did you not consider that a “serious” need either ?

This application was approved by the USCIS before I went for an interview,  all my information was in there , copy of my driver's license and income tax return with the current address now .

I hoped if they were not mistaken they should not have approved this application for me to go for an interview. Because they knew the address on my driving license in not the same with the the address I filled my income tax return together with my mailing address which they mailed me.

Do not confuse the “acceptance” of the lodged documents with the “approval” of the documents and application. The clerical worker who processed your application and documentation does no more than verify that you have 

    sent a readable photo of a   drivers        
                    licence

    signed everything

     sent the required paperwork 

     paid the correct fee. 
 

They do not evaluate the contents. Only the field officer who is assigned your case will do that .. and they do it in preparation for you scheduled interview. 
 

It is the applicants responsibility to ensure their application is fully compliant with requirements.

Your naturalization has not been approved. It does not matter what documents you used to file n-400 , they will verify your entire immigration history at N-400 interview. It does not matter what you applied the application with

That is your opinion.  Thanks. 

However,  I was asked to follow up the N-14 instructions and to wait for an email to respond by identifying my current address to the USCIS. 

And the form N-652 did not said rejection but said you passed the English and US history and government 

and that I should follow the N-14 instructions. Also should notify the USCIS my current address.

Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts and experiences 🙏🏿,  I really appreciate your time and effort on this matter 👍.
