Why was my Citizenship application denied?

A citizenship application can be denied for many reasons. Here are a few:

- Did you check to see if you are eligible? This can be one of the reasons for being denied. Before you apply check to see the requirements for becoming a US Citizen.

- You can also be denied for criminal records that they found on you. USCIS has a list of criminal activities listed on the N400 form that automatically disqualifies you. It is suggested that you contact an attorney before completing the form N400 form if think any past convictions may lead to you being disqualified.A paralegal's office such as this one will not be able to help you in this case.

- Failing the test can also lead you to being denied. Be sure to practice for the test before going to the interview. There are apps that you can download on your phone to help you prepare.
