Hi To whom it may help,

 

I used to be a VICTIM of Domestic Violence case in year of 2013. I got sever injuries and the defendant was got charged by felony.

Since I was a victim, therefore, I have to show my physical and mental injuries medical reports to both criminal and civil courts/judge.

 

During the court progress, I have seen family counseling and Psychiatrist and got exam with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).

My PTSD exam report still save and record in Criminal court under my name/SSN.

The Psychiatrist prescribed few medicines for me to take while I was under one year individual counseling therapy.

 

Since I am going to apply for my N400, U.S citizenship & naturalization by August of this year and I have saw the following question list on N400

"Have you ever been declared legally incompetent or been confined to a mental institution ?"

Do I need to concern about this ? Should I answer yes or no for this questions ? 

 

Actually, I NEVER stay in any mental hospital and I have already stop my medication with Dr's approval.

Now, I have still continue my counseling session with my Psychiatrist once a month.

 

Would this affect my application for becoming a U.S citizen ? Would like affect my interview with immigration officer? 

Does Immigration going to check my Medical Records by using my SSN ?

Should I STOP my counseling session with my Psychiatrist ?

 

Can anyone please help and advise ?

 

Thanks,

Train.

if you've never been declared legally incompetent (by a judge) and haven't been in a mental institution (you haven't), the answer is a simple NO. 

Don't stop your counseling sessions! Being treated for PTSD or being treated for any other physical affliction have no bearing on your eligibility for citizenship.

Based on what you posted, I would say you could legally and correctly answer "No".
