hi everyone,

I filled my N-400 in 2002, and interviewed in Feb.03, my application was denied last month after waiting 5 years period, the denied me on the grounds of moral character when I was stopped by the police back in 1999 I was found guilty for give a false name, I got a day probation from judge. before they deny my case they also requested that I provide additional documents within 30 days. one of the documents I can attain it only in my country, I took a while for me to receive it, also I went out of the country after I waited for the document to come. the document came 3 days before the deadline while I was overseas. the mail came because I wasn't there my wife cannot accept the mail from the post office because my name bare on the slip. now can I appeal for this case due to me been absent, or what will be my waiting period if I have to reapply my N-400 because the arrest was in 1999 and the denial is in october 08 or what will be my other option?
Thank you all.
 
You can appeal the case, but there will be little to no chance of success based on the argument that you were outside the country. Instead of wasting your time and money on an appeal, you're better off reapplying now if you meet all eligibility requirements since your charge now falls outside the statutory period.
