Hello -

I would like to get your thoughts on this issue -

I have a GC for the last 3 years and married to a US citizen. I am a consultant and part of my job requires travel across the country. I have applied for US citizenship few months back.

I have had a appointment on Feb 28th, in NY 2008 for test. I could not make that appointment as my flight was cancelled due to bad weather from Atlanta on Feb 27th and therefore I could not make it to the test / appointment

I visited Immigration office on Feb 29th and given them a written statement the reason I could not attend the appointment. After two weeks I have receved a letter dening my application and asked to file the N-336 forms for a hearing and pay $600 with the application. Also, I don't have any proof that my flight was cancelled. I had to long route to reach NY the next day.

Can someone please answer me what are my chances to get a re-test? what are the next steps? Did anyone had similar experience?

Thanks for your reply.

Regards
C
 
Just do as the letter says, they will set up another interview and if that is successful, you will get the oath
 
Thanks for the reply. Do you think they would ask any proof that the flight was cancelled as I do not have any proof now. Also, do you advise to have an attorney for this kind of issue?

I have clean record here is US with absolutely never broken any law.

Thanks

I guess if proof is required, you could ask the airline for a letter confirming the flight cancellation. I don't think a lawyer will help much. Worst case, simple reapply for a new N-400 if the appeal fails.
 
Can i just ignore n336 and apply again N-400? I am not in a hurry to get the citizenship anyway. Instead of paying 600 .. i will appy again for $400.. is that acceptable?

Thanks

Just FYI: I think fees have went up to $600 something for new application as well :(
