US Citizenship General DiscussionInterview Post-Decision

First of all,its good,that you didnt lie about anything,and told everything about your arrests,and after reading your post,i could say you dont have to worry.
this is normal procedure,by the IO,bec he has to take a good look,at the documents you have provided,and also consult with the supervisor,before making any decision.they mite get your background checked again,but based on what you have told in the post,they will and have to approve your application.it might take time,sometimes weeks or months,but it ok.



I was being dead honest about everything, it's the best thing to do as covering anything is a heck of a lot worse. I have documentation of EVERYTHING as do they. thanks for the comment and the positive words.

US Citizenship General DiscussionInterview Post-Decision
Greetings. Name is Tony Ambriz and I am a Mexican National that just underwent the Naturalization interview today. My case has an added bonus that is obviously not the best but here goes.

In 2007, I was arrested for carrying a counterfit I-551 (Green Card) and I was booked for it. The card itself was purchased in the underground market while living as an illegal immigrant and used it as a form of ID as I didn't have access to a driver's license of anything for that matter. While booked, I was released on bond and had no access to the fake card which was not a govt issued doc. When processed in court, I had the case dismissed for lack of evidence and my record was cleaned overall. In 2009 I underwent my first interview when my wife petitioned me for adjustment of status. I brought up this issue (as of course I would not lie about my information to them) and the IO spoke with his supervisor and got the green light to go ahead and proceed with
my case. I was then granted a provisional I-551 and everything was fine and well. In 2011, I filed again for a replacement card and remove my conditions, only to be told that the time I was married to my wife was actually longer than 2 years during the interview, so I was granted a 10 year card and refunded the money to remove the conditions.

Now, this is where this where this topic fits into this thread. I was summoned to my interview and I went on ahead and proceeded with my application questions. When I was asked if I was put into any sort of legal issue, I brought the mentioned case again (because again, why would I try to hide the relevant), and I was honest and blunt about what happened. She asked if I was processed (which I wasn't), if I was questioned by USCIS about it during the time this all happened (which again I wasn't, heck they never even came to me). She asked if I had the card, which of course I replied as no seeing that it was originally seized by the arresting agency. I provided the required background case from the Bexar County (Texas) court systems and the Disposition from the San Antonio Police Department (the arresting agency).

The exam itself, I passed with flying colors and the English portion was also passed with a great ovation. The officer then tells me that my case will undergo further investigation and I will be notified of the final result.

My Interview Result reads: A decision cannot be yet made about your application
