Didn’t tell interviewer at naturalization interview about marriage

[Realhelpneeded 1]

I applied for naturalization in April 2017 finally got my interview two weeks . I got married in August 2017 . I didn’t mentioned that I did because I didn’t have my marriage certificate yet . I take my oath soon how will this affect my husband application when I am ready to file for him .

So you already had your interview or you will have it in two weeks? What status does your husband currently have? Did you obtain citizenship through marriage to a USC? Did they directly ask you what your current marital status is? What did you say?

I had my interview two weeks ago and I said I was single . I didn’t file for my husband yet because he has an obligation with work that he can not get out (contract)

My citizenship is through the length of time I have been here . I married in foreign country , my husband has not been here yet

I'm really curious to see what happens here. @Nthom1222 please let us know what happens.

 

In my unprofessional opinion, this is a grounds for Denationalization. I think they can strip away your Citizenship later for failure to disclose a material fact.

 

@Nthom1222I have no idea why would not mention that you were married during your Citizenship interview. It would have made ZERO difference, but you did fail to disclose a material fact.

 

I would assume if you sponsor him, they will find this out and try to revoke your Citizenship.

Why did you lie at your naturalization interview?  Especially, when you had ZERO reason to lie.  What did you hope to gain by lying?

I am no attorney, but I don't think it would be considered material misrepresentation.........but it was unwise to falsify any documents.

I honestly can’t file for him yet because I could lose my son . I think may end up losing my marriage because I don’t want to lose my citizenship

You can't file until your oath ceremony anyway. 

 

How could you lose your son and marriage? 

 

I think it's time for a lawyer.

They usually ask you to reiterate certain things during your interview. Did they specifically ask you if you were married/single, did you respond that you were single? Despite knowing you were married?

 

As for TheKingMaker per a supreme court ruling of last year, I believe they can no longer strictly denaturalize for things which would've had no opposite consequence on the person obtaining citizenship . https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/22/us/politics/supreme-court-citizenship.html Her stating that she's married would not affect her case, hence her stating that she's single did not change the result of her obtaining citizenship. But this case is sort of weird, and even considering the ruling, this falls into a grey area.

I think you are correct.   That's why I don't think there is any material misrepresentation........In the OP's situation, married vs single would have no significance.........imo.
