Hi. In between of filing N400 and actual naturalization interview I received a citation for flying drone in a national park which requires appearance in the federal court. So my application has no data about it so far. My lawyer says that it's unlikely that we will be able to resolve the case before naturalization interview - there is literally 2 weeks in between them.
What would be the right way to handle it? I see few options:
- appear for interview and honestly say that I have an open case. In this scenario I believe naturalization interview will be in some sort of PAUSED state or immediately denied waiting for court resolution, right?
- option of showing up to the interview and pretending that nothing happened is not an option. Even though they might not see open case in the system just yet it might eventually show up on their radar and even approved citizenship can be revoked;
- postpone the interview due to a medical reason (I have a knee surgery around same date, so technically it's a fair statement, which I can back up with documents, but obviously not the main reason);
- call to postpone the interview and openly say that I have open case in court;
For cases 3 and 4, is there a general sense for how long it might be postponed?
Appreciate your help!
