Something very strange is going on at the USCIS...
My wife came here on a K1 visa at the beginning of 2020. We got married, she applied for and received her conditional green card, then applied for removing conditions and got her 10 year green card. She has been eligible to apply for citizenship for a while.
She has applied twice and the n400 was rejected twice for invalid reasons:
1. First n400 filing. One of the pages was "missing." It was NOT missing. The entries on the "missing" page were merely handwritten in black ink, and fully legible. We also provided our federal and state tax returns for the reduced fee, and we definitely made <400% of the federal hhs poverty level for our family size in 2024. However, they claimed we provided the wrong fee.
2. Second n400 filing. We were told we used an outdated version of the form which is why it was rejected. I checked today online and our returned form, it's indeed the current version of the form! I did file the prior papers with the same dates, just with the previously "missing page" printed from a computer rather than handwritten.
So what the #### is going on at the USCIS? Are they hiring incompetent workers now? Are they just trying to prevent people from becoming US citizens?
