I had my naturalization interview this morning. It was a very easy interview that lasted for 10 mins and I was approved. There was an oath ceremony 20 minutes later and naturalization certificates were given.

Mine still stuck at trying to have them get me a reschedule for biometrics, completion date is still showing three months. Not sure why it seems inconsistent between different applicants.

Hello Everyone, I need some inputs from experts in this forum. My application for naturalization is denied, and I am Expecting the denial letter any time soon )

Reason : I filed my application of March 9th, 2020 in Cleveland. I was just moved to Cleveland on 01/15/2020, so not able to justify three months residency in current jurisdiction. 

 

Interview officer went on my civics question and reading and writing skills and then started going through my application, and he found that by the time I applied my stay in Ohio is 52 days only and the requirement is 90 days. I really don't know how I missed it though :(. Officer told me he is rejecting my application and I will receive a denial letter soon.

 

After doing some research on VJ, I found that I did satisfy my residency in current state requirement. Here is the reason why I think its a mistake from officer.

 

I got GC on 06/01/2015, Five years will complete by 05/30/2020, where as I applied based on 90 days early filing. For early filing the current state of residency requirement seems different. See the below statement.  

 

D. 90-Day Early Filing Provision (INA 334)

      "In cases where an applicant has filed early and the required three month period of residence in a state or service district falls within the required five-year period of continuous residence, jurisdiction for filing will be based on the three-month period immediately preceding the examination on the application."

 

As per the above statement by 05/30/2020 I am meeting the required 90 days stay in current jurisdiction.

 

I am thinking of appealing my denial, please suggest.

 

Thank You!

I would suggest you start a new thread. This thread is for those of us who filed for naturalization in March 2020. You'll likely get more answers if you start a new thread, as more people will see it

About two weeks after I messaged USCIS to inquire about my biometrics rescheduling, I finally received a reply saying it's now rescheduled. Finally!
