Q: If I am applying for citizenship and I put down that my son was not living with me and that i pay child support
But now he is going to live with me and i will no longer pay child support. Will they think I was lying about my son before and think twice about giving me my citizenship?
A: I don't think that this is going to be a problem, changes like this are not uncommon, you simply need to explain the change at the interview. You can also amend your N400 application before the interview. As long as you don't owe any child support from the time your son didn't live with you, you should be okay. Also remember taxes and no criminal convictions as Good Moral character is a requisite for naturalization
