That’s what I plan on doing because I strongly believe they made an error. I contacted a lawyer to help me with the appeal. It just really sucks that I’m the one paying for their mistake. Thanks 

I'm curious. Why pay the extra attorney fee and higher N-336 fee when you can pay much less and receive the very same result?

You can DIY the N-336 if resources are an issue. Human errors and misinterpretation /reinterpretation /incorrect standards is par for the course ….so don’t take it heart. Fight to win 😂.

 

You outlined your facts clearly in your post and all you need do via the N-336 is lodge the challenge . 
Complaining to supervisors, aka Service Motions ( without fee) were discontinued years ago, so don’t waste your response time window.

That still costs more than refiling.

You would rather request a hearing vs re-filing?  Seems, to me, refiling would be quick, easy, and maybe faster. Practical remedy.

Filing the N-336 is not complicated.
Yes it does require a fee ( can even be done with fee waiver, for low income applicants) and is the most effective action, given OPs particular facts. …and no, it won’t take long or longer than starting all over.

Not sure what you're trying to prove. 

By the time you're done with your lawyer, you'll be up $2000+. Additionally, might take time.

 

Seems you're out to prove something. 

 

I'll take the path of least resistance as @Crazy Cat, the Sheriff said.

 

It's election time and you may be lucky and get citizenship before elections by just filing a new petition. 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

This does seem like a mistake has been made.  Residing at your residence doesn't require you to lock down like an agoraphobe. You can go to the store, you can go camping, or 2 weeks in Vegas. Not sure how a couple weeks in Nigeria would pose a break in domicile. The only thong I can see that might be a problem is the residence end date?  April 10th when the N-400 was filed. Perhaps the end date needed to be something more like 'currently' rather than an actual date?

Just a quick update, my for N-336 was submitted July 15. My oat ceremony was scheduled today and my N-336 form has been closed. I’m glad I followed my gut and submitted the appeal.

Thanks everyone :)
