Didn’t get approved for US citizenship? You can reapply! Here’s what you need to do:
-
Understand the Denial: Review USCIS’s explanation for the denial to identify areas for improvement.
-
Check Eligibility: Ensure you still meet all the requirements for naturalization (residence, good character, etc.).
-
Fix the Issues: Address any concerns raised in the denial notice (missing documents, clarification needed).
-
Reapply with New Form: Complete a new Form N-400 with all required documents and fees.
-
Prepare for the Interview: Study US civics and history, gather additional documents if needed.
-
Consider Appealing (Optional): If you believe USCIS made an error, you might appeal the denial.
Remember: Reapplying is possible. Get help from an immigration attorney for further guidance if needed.
