If I Pass My Citizenship Test but I Get Denied for Something Elsedo I Need to Take the Test Again

• #1

Subsequently my interview, the immigration officeholder gave me a receipt with the "USCIS will transport you a written decision near your application" checked off. That is, no conclusion either way made at the interview. When I asked if that was unusual, the IO said no. When I further asked what happens to the application now (due east.thou., does it get reviewed by by a supervisor), she said "no", that she had everything she needed now but if she needs anything else she'll contact me. I asked how long for a response and she said ii-3 months, but USCIS has up to 120 days to reply.

Has anyone else come across this? And what happened in your case? Did you get an approving or rejection in the mail? Cheers in advance for any information.

Ladybuggy,

My receipt also had the Congrats and Denied options further downwards, which is why I asked the IO the follow upward questions. Very annoying to withal be in limbo...almost (but not quite) would prefer a definitive denied so it'due south at to the lowest degree done. Sigh.

I got my interview on May ane, 2008 and the officer checked "The USCIS will ship you a written decision about your application" plus "A decision cannot exist made about your application". The reason in my instance being it was assigned to some other AO then the ane whose proper name was actually written on it. Even though I passed the English and Civic test and he didn't ask for any more paper merely still he wanted to have the actual officeholder to look at information technology before the approval. I believe they go past the book; anyway it accept been almost 5 weeks but I haven't heard anything from them. I shall look couple of more weeks and then call my Congressional Members; they take 120 dasy to brand decsion otherwise I shall utilise 8 USC 1447(b) and file accommodate in The District Court as this is non acceptable at all. My case example is in limbo for almost 20 months or then...

I got my interview on May ane, 2008 and the officeholder checked "The USCIS will send yous a written conclusion well-nigh your application" plus "A decision cannot be made about your application". The reason in my case being it was assigned to another AO and so the ane whose name was actually written on it. Even though I passed the English language and Civic test and he didn't enquire for whatever more paper but withal he wanted to accept the bodily officeholder to await at it earlier the approval. I believe they go by the book; anyhow it have been nigh 5 weeks only I haven't heard annihilation from them. I shall await couple of more weeks and and then call my Congressional Members; they have 120 dasy to make decsion otherwise I shall use 8 USC 1447(b) and file conform in The District Court as this is not acceptable at all. My case example is in limbo for about xx months or so...

That's horrible.

Look for 120 days; file accommodate and inquire the courtroom/judge to get ya Oath as after 120 days USCIS finishes up its jurisdiction and the District court has a choice either to remand USCIS for Adjuration and/or conduct it itself.....

That'due south horrible.

Expect for 120 days; file suit and ask the court/approximate to become ya Adjuration as subsequently 120 days USCIS finishes upwardly its jurisdiction and the Commune courtroom has a choice either to remand USCIS for Oath and/or conduct information technology itself.....

My receipt has the officeholder's (last) name on it and says to straight any questions nearly the application to her. Did you already ship an research letter of the alphabet to your adjudicating immigration officer? Or are you waiting for the 120 days to exist over?

• #eight

I sent him a letter after 2 weeks; will ship another later on 6-7 weeks and the concluding around 11-12 weeks. Plus I'll send letters to his District Director later on eight-10 weeks; also start writing to all the Executive/Congressional members after eight weeks. After 12 weeks, I'll send them the copy of my Original Complaint (1447(b)) with 30 days' deadline and if they don't adjudicate me then the Guess volition be the ultimate potency....Don't wanna give those suckers anymore respite..

My receipt has the officeholder'south (last) name on it and says to direct any questions about the application to her. Did you already send an enquiry letter to your adjudicating immigration officer? Or are you waiting for the 120 days to be over?

sh1996,

From the looks of your sig timeline, yous received a decision letter on 7/iii and the outcome was unfavorable. What was the reason for denial?

• #eleven

After my interview, the immigration officer gave me a receipt with the "USCIS will send you a written determination about your awarding" checked off. That is, no decision either way fabricated at the interview. When I asked if that was unusual, the IO said no. When I farther asked what happens to the awarding now (east.one thousand., does information technology get reviewed past by a supervisor), she said "no", that she had everything she needed at present merely if she needs annihilation else she'll contact me. I asked how long for a response and she said 2-3 months, but USCIS has up to 120 days to answer.

Has anyone else run into this? And what happened in your case? Did y'all get an approval or rejection in the mail? Thanks in advance for any data.

This is standard. My mother received the same disposition equally you did. Decision cannot be fabricated at this fourth dimension. She received her oath letter in nearly ane.5 months.

sh1996,

From the looks of your sig timeline, yous received a decision letter on 7/3 and the event was unfavorable. What was the reason for denial?

Interruption in continuous residency. I applied three years afterward moving back from an overseas piece of work assignment with a US company. (Have had the GC since '88.) Decision could take gone either way (I had support for why I didn't interruption continuous residency, including employment alphabetic character from the company stating information technology was a temporary assignment), but interviewer decided to go against me. I talked to a lawyer near appealing, but since I'm eligible to re-apply side by side year with 5 years of residency in the U.s.a. and since appeal procedure would take about as long decided non to waste the coin. Unfortunately will not be voting in the election this year.

Same trouble "A decision will be mailed" Does this by defacto mean denied?

My married woman's interview was on 6/27/2008. She had the same crappy luck. The IO went through the entire process of testing, asked her the hardest questions in the book (she however got a 100% correct) he says we have a trouble with your application. Since your husband lives/works abroad and you file joint taxation returns you are ineligible for citizenship at this fourth dimension. He passed other airheaded comments like your husband needs to brand upwards his listen where he wants to live if you want to go citizenship or not, and since we make information technology a bespeak that my wife has never been out of the United states of america for more 6 months, he said "visiting" is non for 5 months, it'southward one or two months. I thought it would be a pretty solid case and had no worries going into the interview, since we fabricated the effort spent the money and made sure she was back in the US every six months. And this job of mine had only started Baronial 2006 before that, we were both living, working, studying had a child in the The states. The lawyer we spoke to after this horrific treatment said we accept potent grounds for appeal, and maybe able to overturn the ruling at supervisor level (I am distrusting of lawyers, equally she discusses her payment in the same breathe). The IO that handled our example she new him past proper name and said he doesn't accept a very good reputation at the Houston field office.
Basically anyone that is in a similar situation nosotros could really employ advice on how to proceed or what to practice next. I cannot leave my job, and nosotros have 2 pocket-sized children, (both US citizens) so traveling back and along is becoming very cumbersome not mention costly.

My wife'south interview was on 6/27/2008. She had the same crappy luck. The IO went through the unabridged process of testing, asked her the hardest questions in the book (she still got a 100% correct) he says we accept a problem with your awarding. Since your husband lives/works away and you file joint tax returns you lot are ineligible for citizenship at this time. He passed other featherbrained comments similar your hubby needs to brand up his listen where he wants to live if you want to get citizenship or not, and since we go far a point that my wife has never been out of the United states for more than 6 months, he said "visiting" is non for 5 months, it's 1 or ii months. I thought it would be a pretty solid example and had no worries going into the interview, since we fabricated the endeavor spent the money and made sure she was back in the U.s. every 6 months. And this task of mine had only started August 2006 before that, we were both living, working, studying had a kid in the US. The lawyer we spoke to after this horrific handling said we have strong grounds for appeal, and peradventure able to overturn the ruling at supervisor level (I am distrusting of lawyers, as she discusses her payment in the same breathe). The IO that handled our case she new him past name and said he doesn't have a very adept reputation at the Houston field office.
Basically anyone that is in a similar state of affairs we could really use advice on how to go along or what to do adjacent. I cannot leave my job, and we have ii small children, (both US citizens) so traveling dorsum and forth is becoming very cumbersome non mention costly.

If you post timeline of wife's presence in US, we may be able to communication whether appeal is feasable. Are y'all a US citizen?

Sorry to hear that. For how long you were out of country? Continuosly or with breaks?

Piece of work overseas was for slightly over two years (equally indicated in the letter from my US employer at the kickoff of my rotation). I came back to the US several time to visit during the flow, just there were 2 absences of over 6 months (but well under 1 twelvemonth). I practical for citizenship afterwards I had been back in the United states for about 3 years. I recall effect is highly dependment on the immigration officer. Mine was polite, merely patently a stickler.
