I had my interview yesterday and Im not sure what to make of it.
A DECISION CANNOT YET BE MADE ABOUT YOUR APPLICATION.
The IO was very very nice and respectful. We begun doing the YES or NO questions on the n 400 form. On the PART 1 LETTER C question IF YOU HAVE USED ANY OTHER NAMES, PROVIDE THEM BELOW. From what I understand, that question were asking if you changed your name legally before and USED it, so left them blank knowing it didnt apply in my case. And after I answered NO to that question IO said that didnt you USE a different NAME when you were arrested by ICE? (When I was undocumented before Ive used a fake ID but admitted it was fake when I was arrested by ICE) I just then answered YES and she added that to my application then we proceed to the next question...
Then on PART 10 D. GOOD MORAL CHARACTER. QUESTION 23. Have you ever given false or misleading information to any U.S. government official while applying for any immigration benefit or to prevent deportation, exclusion, or removal?
One of the explanations I found online way before I started filling my application was at http://www.kcls.org/esl/N-400 Definitions.pdf
This is what their explanation on question 23:
Have you ever lied to or hidden information from a U.S. immigration officer or
police officer when you filed papers to immigrate or when you filed papers to be
able to stay in the U.S.?
I said NO to that question on the application since I have never filed ANY papers to immigrate or filed papers to be able to stay in the US. But when she asked me that question Ive asked her SHOULD I ANSWER YES TO THAT QUESTION SINCE I HAVE GIVEN A FAKE ID TO AN IMMIGRATION OFFICER? She said YES you have to. Without hesitation I said OK (but on the back of my head I wonder why my lawyer didnt tell me that?) and she changed my answer to YES.
Then she reviewed my application again and said everything looks OK in your application. And then she gave me that "I could not make a decision right and your application needs to be reviewed again". I said to myself that is it its over. But at the very end she made a remarkable comments. She said that I DONT SEE ANY REASONS WHY YOUR APPLICATION BE DENIED. And she cracked a smile. And said another comment. She said IF YOU RECEIVE YOUR OATH LETTER MAKE SURE TO BE THERE ON TIME AND BRING ALL DOCUMENTS THAT WERE ASKED.
Not really sure what to think of my experienced if it was pleasant. Anyway, thanks to this forum and to the knowledgeable folks out here. This sure is a another crazy year for me.
