n-400 decision cannot be made
I had my naturalization interview at the USCIS Holtsville office on September 22, 2025. The officer was polite and professional throughout the process. I successfully passed both the English and civics test, and the officer even congratulated me for doing well. At the end of the interview, the officer told me that a decision could not be made at this time. I had applied for my N-400 with a fee waiver, and during the interview, the officer asked me about my income. Out of nervousness, I accidentally said that I make $70,000 a year — which was not true. I honestly don’t know how that figure came out of my mouth; it was a slip of the tongue because I was very anxious during the interview. The officer immediately pointed it out and said something like, “If you make $70,000, then how did you qualify for a fee waiver?” That’s when I realized my mistake and quickly corrected myself, explaining that my actual income is around $15,000, not $70,000. All my submitted documents clearly show my real income, and the mistake was purely out of nervousness. I’m still hopeful for a positive outcome and will update once I receive the final decision.
