I recently appeared for my interview for US citizenship in Hartford. The IO went through the whole interview and I answered all the questions, spoke english and wrote a sentence as instructed. The IO then asked me why I have been traveling so much out of the country and if I was a terrorist. I answered that I have two sons and I visit them often. He then asked me why I want to get citizenship and I told him that I would like to stay with son in US and that's why I want citizenship. He then asked me to wait for 15 minutes. After sometime he came out and handed me an N14 stating that I need to provide state or local police clearance for last 5 years from each locality where I lived. According to him my fingerprints didn't come through. When I had initially gone for fingerprint then after a month I was called for a second set as the first set didn't work. I didn't hear anything after the second set was taken. Now I am confused that why wasn't I asked to bring a police clearance with my interview documents.
My question is if anyone has gone through this experience and is it a normal occurence or should I be worried and hiring a lawyer. I'll collect all the police clearance and will go to the immigration office again on the date he has asked me to come but is there any other reason that I can be rejected? My records are all clean.
