Well before I start, if uhave read this website for a couple of months your level of iimigration knowledge is likely to be more than the immigration officer interviewing you, so I found out.
HAd my interview at NYC for naturalization had applied for so based on 4yrs of continuous stay + 364 days for time out of the country with a valid reentry permit ( as stated in the guide to naturalization pg 22 and eg on pg 23 )
Had valid copies of my reentry permit, selective service registratin , INS transcripts ( 17220 etc.
The officer started by verifying details on the form and when she saw the dates that I had continuous residence for 4 yrs only decided that I wld fail the interview. Then however went throught the formalities of asking the US govt questions etc which went fine. I kept telling her to look at the guide to naturalization and she refused saying that it was not accessible to he at the time, I asked her to look it up online, was told that the comp system freezes to often. When I kept insisting just told me a cursory I'look into it b4 I mail ur reply.
I went out of the interview printed a copy from the local comp store and marked the valid parts in the "guide" went back up handed it to the officilas there, confirmed she received it but also got a msg from her that she wldnt speak to me as she was busy and that I wld know the info in the mail.
As promised by her If I do get rejected want to challenge and want to know the process involved, my chances of success and ofcourse If I need to reapply what is the time course.Please only legit answers no BSing sorry etc mails
And by the way the officer was desi...talk abt not knowing the laws....cmon its like a software person not knowing what microsoft is or a doc not knowing waht a stethoscope is.. i am apalled , angry and cheated.
