I have never been this happy in my life...there is a living God Jehova .

Thank you all for the advice M Good Lord came through for me through Jesus Christ and i am now a new citizen waiting to go to the post office to apply for my USA passport.

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE . ITS A HARD PILL TO SWALLOW BECAUSE I HAVE COME A LONG WAY BUT FOR THIS BUT ON THE FILP-SIDE IT COULD TURN WORSE IF I PROCCED WITH THE INTERVIEW. I AM STILL OPEN TO ANY OTHER ADVICE OUT THERE.

I’m seeking advice as I’m scheduled for my N-400 citizenship interview in a month. I’ve been a 10-year green card holder through marriage, but I have a concern that might impact my application. About 14 years ago, I was arrested for "failure to stop after an accident involving property damage (no injury)." At the time, I provided a different name and date of birth. I was released the same night and a few weeks later I moved out of the state. i didn't know there was a court date later and 14 years later after I run my own FBI finger prints and saw it shows dismissed—I’m assuming because it was a misdemeanor from over 10 years ago. It was not mentioned by the immigration officer (IO) during my I-485 interview. I reached out to USCIS to report the mistake, and they instructed me to wait until the interview to rectify it. I also went ahead and uploaded the court dismissed disposition in my n-400 document tab. Now, here’s the twist: I’ve actually mentioned the name I used during the arrest as the new name I’d like to adopt during my naturalization swearing-in ceremony. I’m unsure how to proceed. What are the possible consequences of not disclosing this earlier? Unfortunately, I don’t have the funds to hire a lawyer at the moment..I'm not looking for judgment or criticism, but rather constructive advice on how to navigate this situation. I've grown and learned from my mistakes, and I'm committed to being a responsible citizen."
