Q: my wife & I are separated.i have a. citizenship interview. I filed after 5 years of obtaining my green card. Any advice.
I'll like to know how to prepare for questions regarding our current situation. Thank you for your time.
A: As you filed after 5 years, your citizenship petition is no longer based on marriage to your US Citizen spouse. I always advise my clients to be truthful when answering questions, and I'm sure any experienced immigration attorney would advise you the same. Good luck!
A: The questions you will be asked and the appropriate answer are specific to your situation and not general. You will need to consult with an experienced immigration attorney. In my practice we conduct a mock interview to make sure you are prepared and attend the interview if requested by you.
A: From the facts stated by you, it is obvious your naturalization application was not filed based on your marriage to a U.S citizen. However, the basis upon which you got your Green card will come into play during the naturalization application process, and likely questions may be asked at the interview depending on the situation and facts of your case. If you have any concerns about your application or its successful outcome, do consider speaking to an immigration Attorney about the details of your case. Goodluck!
