26 years ago I was arrested for a felony (grand theft 2000 USD) for writing a bad check (though returned banks all money before I was arrested or even contacted by police). Charge was reduced to misdemeanor 1 (CMT-check kiting).Plead guilty and had 34 days jail time with 17 days suspension. 19 years ago I was arrested for a shop lifting ($50), printed and released. Case was dismissed without any formal conviction (checked with Attorney many times) though I had 16 hours community servce. But regardless all these.... in a pretty bad day I assume a tough/unhappy I/O may consider I have two CMT convictions. 17 years ago got my green card based on married to a Citizen. I disclosed all the incidents and submitted all court papers with GC application. 19 times travelled overseas since then, everytime had secondary inspection at the airports and released.
Now I applied for Citizenship about 4.5 months ago and 3.5 months ago I was finger printed. Still Online portal only shows USCIS has sent the notice for finger print. No update since then. No inline for interview yet. I am very nervous now. when I checked USCIS Case Update Online, I found 99.99% (from 1000 sample subject) NBC number from the same NOA date either in line for interview or already got interview date, many of them already took the interview. and even Oath.

I do not think FBI/ USCIS liked my criminal history, they are trying to find any excuse to deny my N400 or any excuse to find that GC was approved wrongfully. Should I withdraw my N400? My GC was before 9/11, so name check was not there that time. I also had renewed my GC once without any trouble.

If you were granted GC . I am sure once they are done with background check they will let you have citizenship as well . just be positive .

Many thanks.. I needed a lot of courage to finaly apply for N400. But the delay is making me nurvous.

Well my cousin applied for Citizenship and it took 18 months for his background check even he had NO Crime history . In the End he got his Citizenship so thats why i would say just relax things will work out .

Thanks. He was from a muslim dominant country, FBI delays these cases for what reason I have no clue (have doubt if FBI themselves have clue). My case was related to criminal conviction, a very clear indication for USCIS to try there best to find any tiny mistake/spot ( I am sure there is none) to get any excuses to deny my case. But if they keep trying and do not want to give up then this case can keep going for many many years for no reason. That makes me nervous as even if I file WoM in court they will say they are trying to find something (though in reality there is none) and cout may rule in their favor.
