You should not have answered yes. At the interview explain that this answer was incorrect and you want to change it.  You were not cited.  
 

Out of curiosity, did your insurance company pay for your legal defense? Did you win? If you lost did your insurance company pay?

Yes my insurance took care of it. The case was dismissed because the other party settled with the amount my insurance was willing to pay. No hearings were done at all.

Part 12, Question 23?

 

Were you cited for the accident?  If so then I would put "yes".  If you were not at fault and the officer did not cite, detain or arrest you, then I would put "no".   The civil case is not relevant to the question.

 

For the interview you should explain why you selected "yes" and explain the situation.

I had no citations at all, no arrest and no detention. I just had the feeling I should declare the civil lawsuit I was involved in as I thought it was significant to my application. However, from what I have read and like what you have said, I should not have answered yes. So thats what makes me worried as it could complicate my application.

But exactly WHO told you that?

I am always of the idea of declaring anything that you think should be declared. You can always go deeper in the interview.

I am also thinking the way you are, to declare anything so that is what I did. I am just too anxious of what to say on my interview.

You just tell the truth and bring all documentation to back up your claim.

A lot of people from what I have read said that I should not have declared this on my n400 since it was not a criminal charge. But I am afraid I am going to omit any info on my n400 so I declared it. Now I worry that it could affect my application. Although I have the evidences that it was settled and dismissed and uploaded it together with my application.

I had a minor traffic accident in 2016 where the other party was denied for personal injury claim by my insurance which resulted them to filing a civil case which was settled and dismissed in 2018. Therefore, I answered yes to question 23 of my n400 and my interview is on Monday. Now I am worried on what to say to the IO.

should be fine.you can always correct it during interview.

are u green card holder for 5 years?

Yes I am a green card holder for 5 years.

Is there anyone here who experienced the same thing when filing n-400 online? I chose "single, never married" on my marital status but the case snapshot after submission shows an answer on the citizenship of spouse. But I did not click anything spouse-related on the automatically generated form. Please see attached photo. Could this be a bug on their system?

You will have a chance to correct it at the  interview. Good luck.

Would you know if this would cause conflict on the biometrics appointment? For sure they would mail me an appointment letter with my name interchanged.

That is good to hear. Thank you Nancy! This bothers me a lot since this morning.

I submitted my N-400 today just to figure out that I have mistakenly put my last name as first name and my first name as last name on the form on Part 2 Item No. 1 - Current Legal Name. However, my application has an attached birth certificate and copy of my green card which states the correct order of my name. I already submitted an e-request for a typographical error to be able to correct it right away. Will that cause a problem? Can I ammend it on my interview day if in case they were not able to correct it?

Hi!

I am a lawful permanent resident at the moment and will be filing my citizenship this May 2020. Also, I am getting married in the Philippines this April 2020. I am planning to petition my then spouse after I take my oath and get my certificate of naturalization. I need an advice whether to change my last name or not on my marriage certificate to be filed in the Philippines. Would this cause conflict when I apply for my citizenship? Should I just wait for my citizenship application to legally change my name? If so, what would be the effect of this when I petition my spouse after obtaining my citizenship knowing that my legal name would already be different from what is on the marriage certificate. Please help.

If she was divorced in the USA then the US Embassy considers her DIVORCED for immigration purposes.

She should bring BOTH documents. Having more is always better but only hand over at interview what they ask for.

 

Good luck.

Thank you so much! However, we have only sent the marriage termination documents to the NVC and I think since it was completed then maybe they are good with it. So I was just curious. 

Hi! I am just wondering if anyone here could help. My brother (US Citizen) is petitioning our mom in the Philippines. To cut the chase, she already have her interview date scheduled. The case is, my mom is divorced by my dad here in the US but in the Philippine law, she is still married. However, when my brother filed for petition, her marital status is DIVORCED, even on her DS-260. I am just wondering if she still needs to bring her marriage certificate or just the marriage termination documents? 

Thank you so much in advance!
