N-400 Questions

[laylasa 1]

Hey guys,

I filed for my N-400 this month. I dont know if i should wait to go through this process. I have been in an emotionally abusive marriage but i love my husband and want things to work out but nothing is working.I have tried all i could. My marriage is not fraud, i have been in it for three years and doing my best to make it work. My questions are:-

Can I cancel my N-400 and file later using the 5 year rule?

What will happen if i decide to wait until im approved then move out and file for divorce later, will my citizenship be revoked?

During interview can i say that i dont want to change my name? I had check "YES" I want to change my name

What options do i have right now? I really cant take it anymore....

Thanks guys.

Yes, however if your application was already accepted and is being processed, your application fee will not be refunded. They won't hold your withdrawal against you but you lose the money.

What will happen if i decide to wait until im approved then move out and file for divorce later, will my citizenship be revoked?

Your citizenship can be revoked if it can be established that you committed fraud when applying for immigration benefits. It isn't fraud to get a divorce after becoming a naturalized citizen and you don't need to worry about it.

Thanks for your reply.

I will have to wait and see if things will change but it has laready been three long years and i dont see anything happening. Its tough to be in such a position.
