Hello everyone, I am getting ready to file for citizenship under 5 year rule. I have a few questions and I would really appreciate y'all responses.

 

Me and my wife got married in 2010 and i became a LPR in 2011. Right before we were getting ready to file for I-130, i received a call from DHS to come down to their office as i had overstayed my F-1 visa by 5 months. When we went to the DHS office, we had already filed for I-130 but the officer still arrested me and put me in removal proceedings. I was released the same day and was told that my file will now go through an Immigration Judge. Few months later, I received a notice for biometrics and almost a year after that, I recieved a letter for an interview. Three weeks after that, I received my conditional green card in mail. After two years, I filed to remove the conditions on my green card and was able to do it without any issues. 

Also, when i travel overseas, I always get stopped at the immigration counter because of my removal proceedings issue which delays my exit from the airport and thats about it. Do y'all think this issue is gonna hinder my N400 application in any way? I have never been arrested otherwise or have no criminal record. Please let me know what you guys think.

 

Also, I have a few questions on N400 form

 

1. The question where it asks for spouse previous marriages, i put "1" as me and her have been married only once (our current marriage and no previous marriages).

2. Since i have clicked "yes" to part 12. question 23 (for getting arrested by immigration authority), i have a well-typed letter explaining the situation. I used the same letter for removing the conditions on my green card. So in question 29 where this a table to explain why i was arrested, i simply put "please see attached document for details". Is it okay to put that in there?

3. The last page (page 20) asks to print applicant's name but i cannot enter anything. It seems like the box is not enabled to write in it. I have viewed different forms and they are all like that. Is that normal? Can i just print out the last page and manually write my name, date and the signature? The rest of the form is completed in Adobe. 

 

Thanking you all in advance.
