Hello, my wife filed her N-400 in January, and based on current processing times, we expect her interview soon. However, she was involved in an incident this past Thursday. She left our 15-month-old child in the car briefly to make a quick purchase. A bystander called 911; the police arrived, detained her, and charged her with a felony under PC 273a(a). Our baby is fine and suffered no injuries. We are currently seeking legal counsel and have the following questions: How will this affect her citizenship application? Is a denial inevitable? If the charge is reduced to a misdemeanor, will it still negatively impact her path to citizenship? Any suggestions, comments, or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. We are devastated and unsure of how to proceed.

Hi all! Creating this thread as I don't see one for January filers (if there is one already, please disregard/merge if possible). Filed my N400 application online earlier this morning and already received the receipt notice. I currently have a pending I-751 (Jan 2025 filer) and hoping the N400 will move the case along or lead to a combo interview. Best of luck to all of us!
