Hello everybody! This is my story in short.Back in 1997 i had been arrested twice for desorderly conduct of using obsceene language(violation).i admitted that in my application for green card and received the green card in 2001 without problem. In december of 2002 i commited a CMT of leaving the scene of an accident with injury.I pleaded guilty and in march of 2004 got a verdict of 5 years probation.in april of 2009(5 years statuory period passed) i applied for naturalization(admitting all the facts of the arrests).on july ,2009 i passed the exams and 2 weeks later received the letter of denial.it said:
"in the present case,you were on probation for four years and ten months of five year statutory period or more than half of five years period immediately preceding the date of filing your application for naturalization,Your series of arrests and convictions show a lack of reformation of character.Under the circumstances,you have not established good moral character necessary for naturalization.Accordingly,your application is denied".
i have written an affidavit,where i ecplained all the circumstanses,also i collected a letters from my employer,people who know me and US Congress Repr. from my area and sent everithing with the form N-336 requesting hearing.Today i have received a letter to come for the hearing next tursday(less than a week notice).My attorney cannot be present,becouse he stock up with the other appointments.And now i have a dilemma:-to postponea hearing(and no guarantee that the short notice will not happen again,-or go just myself without lawyer.If i go by myself - will i have any chanses of positive outcome?and if i get denial again - when can i reaplly?they did not say when - on first denial letter.thank you.
