CASE: N-400 (Citizenship / Naturalization)

APPLICANT: Filipina

LOCATION: Cincinnati, Ohio

Our client contacted us in May 2016 to seek legal representation for her naturalization and citizenship N-400 application. She came to the United States from the Philippines and obtained her green card in May 2009. She retained our office for her naturalization and citizenship N-400 application on May 16, 2016. She was concerned about her previous domestic violence case which was vacated later by the Court. Because of this domestic violence case, she was also placed in removal proceedings; but, her proceedings were terminated after her conviction was vacated. Nevertheless, our client has a clean record besides the aforementioned vacated conviction, so she should not be ineligible for her naturalization.

The naturalization and citizenship N-400 application was filed on May 24, 2016 with all supporting documents. Our office prepared her before her naturalization interview, and our client appeared on her interview on November 7, 2016 at the Cincinnati CIS office. Our client passed her naturalization and citizenship N-400 interview. However, her N-400 case remained pending due to her former criminal conviction record. The USCIS officer asked our client to submit a certified copy of her vacated conviction record. We filed the RFE response to the Cincinnati USCIS Field Office in February 3, 2017.

Eventually, her naturalization application was approved on March 22, 2018. Her oath taking is scheduled in which she will become a naturalized U.S. Citizen.
