Wanted to share my experience it can maybe help someone going through the naturalization process or getting ready to go through it. Despite my previous arrests/ registering to vote ( by accident, but never actually voted) my experience was very smooth and fast.
Here is my timeline
March 12,2018- We received your application
March 17- We scheduled your biometric appt
April 5- We reviewed your biometrics
April 23- We scheduled your interview
June 8- interview day
July 20- Oath ceremony scheduled ( Later date due to name change)
My case was far from simple, but I?m proud to say it?s all almost over and I did it all on my own. Got my PR through parents before they both became US citizens. I?ve had my PR for nine years. Fee waiver was approved for my n-400.
I had a petty theft charge 7 years ago, DUI four years ago, and registered to vote last year by accident, but got that cancelled soon as I found out ,was on probation for a car accident I was involved in, but had no car insurance, I filed a motion to terminate probation 3 days before my interview & it was granted yay! I did tons of research since I couldn?t afford a lawyer. I knew everything they would ask for, so I came prepared and organized. I provided all three court dispositions and proof that I canceled the voter registration. Also, I moved just days before my interview and lost my GM in the process, i reported it to police day before the interview and took the report with me. I was very honest on my application, I disclosed EVERYTHING! IO didn?t ask much about the arrests just looked at the court dispositions, he was very friendly and he mentioned how people waste their money to hire attorneys when all they do is fill out the paperwork. He said I was very organized and sharp 😊 . I?m glad this journey is almost over!! Good luck to all
