Anxiety attack over something I forgot in n400

[stevec12345 0]

I have a weird story where I am possibly being paranoid and overreacting. Anyway I submitted my n400 and applied for naturalization. At that time I was working for well known company for past 7 years in their design team. Lets call the company ABC corporation and it had several divisions and also some subsidiary companies. I filed my application in Oct 2012 when I was still employed by ABC corp and mentioned the same and in Dec the company decided to move the design team I was working on into a fully owned subsidiary company called ABC Communications Corp effective Jan 1st 2013. This was purely a legal change and there was no practical change as I still had the same email with abc.com , same org chart etc. In fact we don't even have a separate website or anything. The company did this to protect their patents so they wanted design team in a separate legal entity while the parent company will own all IP and patents.

When I went for the interview it was very smooth as mine was a straightforward case. The interviewer just asked me if I still worked for ABC (note he said "ABC" and not ABC corporation). I didnt even think much and said yes because nothing really changed we just had a corp re-org and I didn't even realize legal name had changed. Anyway we were a fully owned subsidiary of ABC and in my verification of employment doc "ABC" refers to the parent company as well as subsidiaries. We moved on right after that and my application was approved and I took same day oath.

Last week I was looking at my latest pay stub and saw that it was from ABC Communications Corp and not ABC corp and I have been freaking out ever since and have been having full blown anxiety attacks.

Did I make a mistake and will there be any repercussions. In my mind I don't even think I said something wrong since we are fully owned by ABC corp and when he said Do you still work for ABC I reflexively said yes because ABC refers to pretty much all divisions and subsidiaries. Am i being too paranoid in freaking out ? I have not been able to sleep well since I realized this.

Will be interested to know what folks here think.

Had it been meant as a trip-up question, the IO would have pursued it. He was merely trying to determine whether your employment status matched your application. Methinks that you freak unnecessarily, si man.

Yes I don't think you have anything to worry about

Nothing, nothing to worry about.

Think about it, if if if if USCIS does some researches and find that the company is ABC with address XY, and find that your new company is ABC+ with address XY. And that ABC+ is paying you, instead of ABC. I think that they can find the link between the 2.

You did nothing wrong.

Enjoy your new citizenship!

Not even sure why the USCIS wants your employment history as it doesn't make any difference if you are employed or not when applying for US citizenship.

If you want to lose sleep over something, you answered no to that question, did you ever commit a crime you were never caught for. If you did, that is worth losing sleep for, penalty for getting caught later is deportation.

Since are corporations are controlled by people that make money with money, always being bounced around. Least your company wasn't moved to China. Yet!
