Citizenship rejected

I have this situation.
I applied for citizenship under 3 years rule and a year after applying me and my wife separated and living in different states.
I sent out a letter to USCIS that we are not living together anymore, I would like to withdraw my application.
Two days back I got a letter from USCIS saying that USCIS called my apartment office where we were living from last 6 years and got an answer that I was only a lease holder and mentioned 'You submitted a fraudulent lease during your I-751 proceedings indicating that me and my wife were leasing apartments together and apparently which was not' and also you testified during naturalization process that you have never gave any false information, by providing false information you are unable to establish good morale character so your application for naturalization is denied.

This decision is made without prejudice towards the filling of new application when you demonstrate the eligibility.

You can appeal within 30 days for hearing, if the request is not made within time the decision is final.

Friends, what does this mean... do USCIS think that I cheated for green card removal of condition so I am even eligible for deportation..

The fact is my stupid apartment system can hold only one name in the computer... to list all the lease holder they have to go and check the archives which have signatures and let know... I can get the letter from apartment folks of the lease during this period...

I don't mind that my application for citizen is denied as we are not living together now... but the lying part under oath and falsifying during I-751 and N-400 process is bothering me...

Please advice what should I do.
 
Write a letter to USCIS and tell the truth. Send in facts with proof. Consult a good lawyer to help you do a good write up. You must take this off your records with USCIS ASAP!
 
You can always provide more documents to USCIS to prove your case, just take into account that once you provide a document it becomes permanent record and part of your A-file. It is like when a police officer reads your right to remain silent. If your lease shows both as co-leasers by all means use it to defend your case, but be aware it will become part of your record.
 
Yes, send in the facts. But could you please let us know the following:
#1. Date N400 filed
#2. Date of Separation (when spouse moved out)
#3. Date you sent letter to CIS
#4. Date CIS wrote to you

#5. Date you started living together. Besides lease, do you have other evidence like utility bills, bank statements, tax returns for these 6 years?

In my opinion,
A) one piece of information may not be sufficient ... although that's the one they have challenged, they can investigate more once you fix that piece. Therefore, I am curious to look at the overall picture.
B) I really want to make sure your case was pending for 1 year ... if it was pending for 3 months based on the current processing speeds, that's a different story.

A year after applying you sent out a withdrawal letter? Was there no activity or correspindence from USCIS during that entire year?

You should schedule an Infopass and request to speak with a supervisor and show them the lease agreement with both your names to straighten the issue. Hopefully they don't insist that you must first file an official appeal along with fee in order to clarify the lease agreement.
