Hi,
I just returned from US Citizenship interview in Garden City, NY, passed all tests, but I was told that decision cannot yet be made about my application (subject to supervisor’s review) because of my prior arrests, which I indicated in my application and all court dispositions were submitted along with application.
All my arrests were prior my AOS interview in 2006, all dispositions were submitted along with I 495 application. GC granted.
My n400 is based on marriage to US citizen(3 years since becoming LPR).
I had 5 arrests, 2 of which were dismissed and sealed(one in 1997 and one in 2005),
1 arrest(02/11/1995) with charges for operating vehicle-ability impaired by alcohol, pled guilty, fine $300(paid) and following MV too closely, fine $75(paid).
Another arrest and charge(08/01/1995) - operating MV under influence, pled guilty, fine with imprisonment alternative $500/17 days(paid), probation 3 years(completed in 1998 and proof of that was submitted along with application).
Another arrest in 2002: some moving violation, pled guilty and sentence imposed PG VTL509.1, fine - $50(paid).
IO gave me form N-652 which indicates that I passed all tests but decision cannot yet be made, will be notified by mail.
Question is: with all this, do I stand a chance to receive an approval and what is the time frame in reality (I know, by law they have 120 days to respond) for this decision to be made?
