CASE: N-400 (Citizenship / Naturalization)
APPLICANT: Sudanese
LOCATION: Ohio
Our client contacted us in May 2015 to seek legal representation for his naturalization and citizenship N-400 application. He came to the United States from Sudan and obtained his green card in January 1996. However, due to his “Good Moral Character” issue, specifically polygamy, his previous N-400 application was denied in 2006. Nevertheless, after consulting with our office, he retained our office on May 13, 2015.
The N-400 application was filed on June 9, 2015 with all supporting documents. Moreover, our office filed brief regarding the circumstances of our client’s past regarding his marriages, from explaining timing circumstances to incorporating home country culture, basically addressing the reasons which led to the denial of his previous N-400 application.
Prior to his citizenship interview, our office prepared him via conference calls. On October 19, 2015, our client appeared at the Cleveland, OH USCIS office for his naturalization interview. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office accompanied our client as well. Our client answered all questions correctly and passed his naturalization and citizenship interview. Eventually, his application was approved on October 20, 2015. His oath taking is scheduled in which he will become a naturalized U.S. Citizen.
