I had my N400 Interview today and completed my civic exams and then the officer start going through my application, when she reach the question about the citation (I have answered no) and asked her clarification that if traffic citation are included she said yes and then i did told her about what citation i remember in last 5 years. Later she ask me to sign the paper work and then told me that I committed a fraud and showed me a paper signed by me at the airport(History Below), I have told her that I did not committed any fraud and tried to explain as follows, further she ask me to provide my old passport used in 1999 and told me that once she has the document (within 30 days) she will make a decision.
I have spoken to few attorneys and now confused that should I get an attorney now or wait for her decision and whether me taking a attorney will help or make it complicated. I am also so stressed out as I have never done anything wrong and now been accused of something I have never done it was complete misunderstanding conducted by the officer in 1999. Again my GC was issued in 2006. Please advise and also can they also revoke my GC . Further my family (Wife-Daughter) has given the citizenship interview and passed, currently waiting for Oath dates. How does that affect . Also as I have asked for clarification on the question of citation and did not lied . I lived here as a law abiding citizen for over 12 years. I need help.
