I received a notice from USCIS for an interview related to my N-400 (naturalization) application (beginning February 2025 - interview on 3/11/25). My attorney advised me not to attend the interview, as my pending I-290B (Motion to Reopen or Reconsider) had not yet been approved.
Surprisingly, just three days before the scheduled N-400 interview, USCIS approved my I-290B. However, on the same day, the approval was reversed (denied), and then re-approved again, all within a very short time frame.
Then, the day before the N-400 interview, I received a letter from USCIS stating that they had determined I was already a U.S. citizen, and therefore, they would not send the Permanent Green Card as I should be receiving a date for the naturalization ceremony.
I went to the N-400 interview as originally scheduled. During the interview, the USCIS officer clarified that the document stating I was already a U.S. citizen was not accurate. I proceeded with the interview, successfully passed the test, but was given a written notice stating that a decision could not be made at that time.
Three weeks later (April 1st), I was informed that my naturalization application was denied. The reason given was that the application was based on marriage to a U.S. citizen, but I had divorced in 2019, and the N-400 was filed in 2018, prior to the divorce.
As of now:
We have filed an I-90 (Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card).
We are currently compiling documentation to reapply for N-400
