Q: citizenship Question about N-445: Changes since your interview
I had my 1st citizenship interview in Nov 2016. The officer said they have some question about my wife whom I was in the process of divorce. The divorce was then finalized in July 2016 and I submitted the document in the same month. Then, during my 2nd interview in Feb 2017 I explained the issue I had with my wife, and in July 2017 my case was approved and I am now scheduled for oath ceremony for Next week (Aug 2017).
In N-445 it asks "Since your (1st??) interview, have you married, or been widowed, separated or divorced? Yes/No If yes explain your reason and attach a document".
So, Should I answer Yes or No? I think I should answer yes.
It will be great if my USCIS officer (interviewer) who knows everything about my case, be there at the oath ceremony. The reason I am asking this is that the new officer at the oath ceremony may get confused and may request more time to verify if my interviewer knew this change and may postpone my oath ceremony.
Thank you
A:
Directly agreeing or disagreeing with your question would create an attorney-client relationship, so a direct answer cannot be provided. However, your reasoning seems sound. If you do select "yes" might want to note that the divorce filing was disclosed during the interview.
For specific advice you will need to contact an immigration lawyer directly or schedule an appointment at the USCIS office in Denver.
