Questions: 

• What date did you get married?
• When did you apply for adjustment of status?
• When did you receive your GC?
• How many years did you receive/when did it expire: 2 or 10?
• (When) Did you apply for removal of conditions?
• When did you receive 10 year green card?
• When did you divorce (how many years were you married)?
• When did you apply for citizenship.... 

Reading your first post... the officer suggested you withdraw the N400... but did she tell you anything else about why she believes you should withdraw/did she ask you any other questions?

I would request a FOIA (freedom of information act)- information about your immigration history and comments about this interview and previous interviews as it appears due to your "jet lag" and being "not conscious" you do not remember the interview well... and it will be a good refresher and will help you decide IF not WHEN you should apply for US citizenship... 

 

1) I married at the Jan 2016
2) I don't remember.
3)I receive my 2 year GC on November 2016
4)I receive my 2 year GC on november 2016 and my 10 year Gc before the 2 year expired (I don't remember the date)
5) I apply N400 on November 2022
6) I don't remember , I got 10 Year before the 2 year expired
7) I divorced on 2020
8)I apply N400 on November 2022

At this point all the questions OP is being asked to try to pinpoint the problem are a fishing expedition. Best advice is to retain the services of a qualified immigration attorney.

 

Similar thing happened to a roommate of mine years ago. He canceled his joint insurance policies with his wife the very day his green card was approved and subsequently divorced her. The interviewing officer “suggested” he withdraw his application.

 

He did and reapplied x years (x= 3,4 or 5, I forgot) later and was approved without a hassle. 
 

OP given your inconsistent answers, I would advice you allow a very healthy amount of time elapse before you reapply because honestly you excuse about jet lag etc being the reason you completely flunked the answers to those questions don’t fly with me. Don’t push your luck by reapplying too soon.

Thank you for your advice.

 

Does I divorce on 2020 and apply N400 on November 2022 (Interview on June 2023) are too soon?

Your english dont seems to support that you have attended college, however, that is beyond the scope of our discussion. It appears that somewhere along the way, you have violated your F1 status. You then sought AOS through marriage to USC, and eventually divorcing your wife. You then applied for Naturalization and now IO, while looking back, questions the intent of your marriage.

You should request your Afile and see what is in there. I do not believe an IO will simply ask an applicant to withdraw an N400 just because they wrongfully answered couple questions.

What is Afile?

What is Afile?

A-File (Admin File) is the file that contains everything you have filed with USCIS and anything DHS has collected on you through their own sources. It will help you see if there is anything deragatory. This is just my suggestion. I am more into litigation than adminsitration. of benefits. Let other chim in on your question!

When did you arrive in the US?

Were you an undergrad or grad student?

F1 visa is usually for four years (four years and 9 months for engineering), at the time of your marriage, were you in F1 status?

When did your F1 status expire?

Okay, I just dont see why couple answer would prompt an IO to ask for withdrawal. She could have sent RFE.

Also, the officer recommend me to withdraw the N400.  Is it a good or bad thing? Officer said i can continue to move on or withdraw, the withdraw action was just a recommendation, and it is up to me.

I think because you don't remember many things clearly. 

You should request your A-File. 

Go here: https://www.uscis.gov/records/request-records-through-the-freedom-of-information-act-or-privacy-act

Then once you read your immigration history and the concerns of the CO you can decide if you should apply for citizenship again. 

We can try to help you but as @African Zealot says we are not helping here because your answers are vague/ you don't remember things clearly so the only solution is to pull your records. 

Final question: Did you pass the English test and the Civics test?

I'm sure when you say you got your 10 year GC before the 2 year expired you mean before the extension letter expired?

2 year GC would have expired November 2018. But, you posted in 2019 you were still waiting for your 10 year GC.... 

Did you receive 10 year GC with or without interview?

And had you filed for divorce before you received the 10 year GC?

I know you said you divorced in 2020... but there are 12 months in the year... and depending on the state a divorce can take a year or so before it can be finalized... 

I ask questions because I am trying to help you figure these things out and prepare you for the questions a lawyer will ask when you consult with them... 

But, the easiest solution is to get your A-File so you see what USCIS sees...
