Leaving sections blank or incomplete is a frequent mistake. If a question does not apply, write “N/A” (Not Applicable) to avoid confusion.
Failing to disclose an arrest, even if charges were dismissed, is a serious issue. USCIS considers honesty essential, and undisclosed arrests can lead to denial for lack of good moral character.
Incomplete or incorrect documents can cause delays as USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence (RFE), adding months to the process.
Long absences (especially over 6 months) can break continuous residence. Failing to report these accurately may result in denial.
If you fail the English or civics test, USCIS allows one retest within 60 to 90 days. Preparing thoroughly beforehand is crucial to avoid delays.
