What should one do if he was told that his application was denied at the N-400 interview?

Should he immediately request a hearing? What is the best policy? Thanks!

What were the grounds for denial, Decent?

It doesn't sound like you've been having the best of luck here.

Divulge The Entire Complete Situation!!! It Is Only WWW. Right??? Cant Receive Intelligent Responses and Assistance Without Knowing Everything!!!

There is nothing to disclose here. My interview is coming up in 2 weeks. I'm just trying to be cautious and well prepared.

Aaah! This is a hypothetical question.

OK - well my first recommendation would be to consult an immigration attorney and go from there.

However, for your interview, going in with the attitude of "I'm gonna get denied" will likely cause it to come true. LOL

Keep positive and good luck!

Unless you have a legitimate reason to be concerned that your application will be denied, then don't worry about it, Decent. Just go in, be open and honest and most of all, be yourself.

If you do get denied, then as JC said, consult an attorney and go from there.

Good luck!

I'm that guy who sees the glass half-full. So, I'm gonna take my pessimism one step further and ask you the following general question: assuming I get denied will any immigration lawyer be able to handle the appeal case?

I think you need to rethink your "half-full / half-empty" analogy. I do not think it means what you think it means. LOL

No. You will want to do some research with the BBB or whatever monitoring agencies are in your area. You do not want to end up with some lawyer who is solely interested in taking your money (and yes, we all know they're out there). Do some homework and make sure you get a knowledgeable attorney.

I'm sorry maybe my question wasn't clear. I was asking whether the immigration lawyer needs to be specializing in certain area of immigration law, such as criminal justice.

More than 5 years ago I was unfairly and unjustly arrested for domestic violance and accordingly the case was dismissed. So for the appeal case, does the immigration lawyer need to be specializing in criminal justice or will any other Cood immigration lawyer do? THX.

I can't see a need for criminal justice since there was no crime.

However, it also depends on why it was dismissed. They will look at it from the standpoint of did you get off because you were innocent or because of a technicality. You should get copies of the reports filed and have an immigration lawyer review it.

Thanks for the reply davdah but!
The law says 5 years after getting the green card, no felony conviction, a person gets naturalized. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Good AMERICAN Thinking Decent! . Always Think Ahead!!! Dry Runs Are Very Smart!
