Didn't list 2nd citizenship on I-485, now applying for N-400

When I filed I-485, it asked for "citizenship" and I only listed my main one, assuming I just needed to list one, even though I had a 2nd one, that I haven't used for travel, visas, etc in many years.

 

When I started filling out N-400, I noticed that they ask for "citizenships" and after some research I learnt I needed to list both citizenships on I-485 as well. Will providing an explanation letter with the N-400 application be enough? Has anyone been in a similar situation?

 

Also, the country of my 2nd citizenship is under sanctions now, although it wasn't when I applied for greencard 5-6 years ago. Not sure if that makes a difference

Welcome to the forum!

 

Maybe the forms have changed to ask for (plural) citizenships since you filed the I-485.

 

You can include the explanation letter with the N-400 just as you've told us above, and it would be mandatory to volunteer this "new" information first thing at your naturalization interview.  Proactive corrections are appreciated, necessary, and signs of your truthfulness in disclosure.

 

Presumably, you've already filed your I-751 and now hold your permanent green card.

Thank you @TBoneTX!! I think that's the case actually. I tried to find the instructions for that specific form and it only says to list current country of citizenship or nationality. It did not ask to list multiple/all citizenships in that field or anywhere else on the form. So, I think I should be good!

I-485 required listing all citizenships. I can assure you of that as I was a dual citizen at the time (now have three citizenships). I also applied for LPR 6 years ago....

 

I'd consult with lawyer. This can be interpreted as misrepresentation, especially since you didn't list sanctioned country.
