anybody have info on what to do after the 180 days have passed ( more like 10 months)and no hearing or desicion on my case, the only thing, they send me to get new fingerprints and after 2 months I got a infopass and they told me that the officer that handle my case was trasfered and due to lack of personnel my case and my file was sitting in a shelf, whats my next step please help
I had my first interview in san antonio office and pass all the requirments and the officer gave me a letter of congrats.1.here is my letter attached with the n-336 form and my attorney's

My name is J---------- and I currently live ???. I have been a lawful permanent resident in the United States since May 11, 1990.

2. On October 2004, I filed my Application for Naturalization with the Texas Service Center. On January 19, 2005, I was interviewed by Officer Eric Holman in San Antonio, Texas. I answered all the appropriate questions, passed my English and History Test and was told that I was approved. He told me that I will be called to do the Oath Ceremony later. I told them I would move to Atlanta, Georgia and that I would do my change of address.

3. A few months later, I was scheduled for a second interview on May 4, 2005 in Atlanta, Georgia with Officer Banks. I thought I was going for my oath ceremony, not realizing that I would be undergoing a second interview. She did not ask me all the preliminary questions. She just asked me one question: “What happened in 1987?” I said “nothing” because I thought she was referring to whether I had a criminal arrest or conviction. She went ahead and asked if I could write a statement saying that “I have never provided false or misleading information to any officer of the United States”. I wrote down “I did not provide any false or misleading information to any officer of the United States.” She said to correct it saying instead “I have never provided any false or misleading information to any officer of the United States.” I wrote down what she said thinking it was a requirement for the N-400. I was not sure what she was talking about.

4. On November 7, 2005, the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (“CIS”) denied my application for citizenship because according to the officer I failed to provide truthful testimony during my first interview for naturalization and on my sworn statement.

5. CIS alleged that on October 16, 1987, I signed Form I-690 attesting that I had knowingly used false material information to obtain entry into the United States. It had been over 18 years since I filed my Application for Residency. I did not remember that I had filed an application called Form I-690. During the time that I applied for my green card (eighteen years ago), I did not read or write any English. The agency that represented me, Catholic Social Services, filed out all my applications and I just signed them. At this time I am requesting a copy of my file to CIS and Catholic Social Services because I do not remember any of the details of my previous application. I was never trying to hide any information from USCIS. I was not even warned that there was adverse information that could end my chances of becoming a citizen. The question from the officer was broad and I was not sure what she was referring to.
and yes I did singed the form part of my ammesty of 1986 but is been to long to remember all the details the officer did'nt offer any help remebering the form while she had the file in front of her or show me the form

I have a lawyer, anybody have any comment?
I sure do have a comment.
Dear Dafer;
I was denied before for the exact same reason. I appealed ofcourse; and won the case and i am now a proud citizen since August 2006!!
CIS sometimes tries to "trap" applicants for some reasons, even though u didn't commit anything on purpose or have a bad intention. The whole point in the intention part, if you did not have bad intention to actually hide materials or "lie" under oath then you can appeal and you have a pretty good chance at winning the case.

PM me with your yahoo or MSN so we can chat sometimes about more details. Also do a search for my posts about my denial and results, search for : sony55

Good luck
