N-400 Not sure how2answer1q-n

[cutie81]

In the N-400 form there is a question: have you ever claimed to be a U.S Citizen?
I'm not sure how to answer.
I had applied for a Citizenship, based on 3 y.o marriage to a U.S. Citizen, but in the final was denied because I wasn't eligible due to the fact in the meantime I divorced (3 months before 5 years of marriage) and was asked to re-apply based on 5 years eligibility.

Should I check YES and attach a written explanation?

I'd appreciate your help!

I have a question for you: Have you ever claimed to be a US Citizen? If you have, then your answer will be "yes". If you havent, then your answer will be .... NO! Until you take an oath in a swearing in cermony you are not a US citizen. Hence it would be illegal to say , register to vote, claim to be a citizen to get benefits, ect. Hope this clears up the confusion you are having.


All the best.
