thank you for the response. Do you know if the citizenship can be revoked due to a divorce immediatly after I become a citizen?
Once you meet the eligibility requirements for the citizenship, that's it, you meet and the deal is done. The statute that governs naturalization based on 3 year marriage to a US citizen is very clear and simple: If you have been married to the same US citizen for a period of three years, while a greencard holder, then you are eligible to apply" (paraphrased). The only denial of your citizenship are issues of moral turpitude or you kill someone or became a deal crystal meth with a gay prostitute....
My advise, go ahead and apply for naturalization. If you happen to be divorced while your case is pending adjudication, then it is fine, because you naturalization doesn't depend on your marriage, but rather your eligibility. So, should you be asked if you are still married to the same USC, if at the time of the interview you are, then tell them YES. If you in the divorce proceedings, then you can tell them, only if they ask you if you are divorce or still married. For example, assume on Jan 1, 2007 u apply send ur N400, but in March, he files for divorce, and your interview is March 28. Technically and legally, you are still married to this USC. Remember, the question will be, are you still married to your husbad. Yes, avoid the BUT in your response, they always land people in trouble. Remember, don't volunteer any information.
Lastly, hence oath ceremonies are conducted in court, the clerk acknowledge your fulfillment of the requirements to be naturalized in front of the judge, and the judge swears you in. So, USCIS has no mandate to strip off anyone of the citizenship, UNLESS the citizenship concealed a material fact that would have made him or her ineligible for the naturalization. With your case, you should be fine, unless you fail to mention to them that you honor Hitler once in a while or you were once in jail for manslaughter. So, you should be in good shape. Divorcing you husband is not a condition for the USCIS to strip you off the citizenship, if they try, I will represent you myself in front of the appeals court...
