Assuming all other criteria are met, under what circumstances will an application for naturalization be denied where the applicant passed the English test and responded meaningfully to all interview questions, but allegedly does not understand the oath of allegiance? Please provide examples, if possible.
USCIS says that applicants for naturalization are required to demonstrate an ability to read, write, speak,and understand English. The ability to read and write English is determined byadministering the reading and writing tests to the applicant. An applicant’s ability to understand and speak English is determined by the applicant’s ability to understand and speak English during the interview.

Assuming no other negative factors, under what circumstances will an application for naturalization be denied for lack of good moral character if USCIS determines that an applicant received benefits for which he or she was not entitled? What if the applicant pays back or is paying back the amount owed? Does it matter the extent to which the benefits were received fraudulently (with intent) vs. inadvertently/unknowingly?
USCIS says that these situations are reviewed on a case-by-case basis looking at all of the factors in the case and that intent would certainly be a factor to consider.
USCIS notes that naturalization may be denied in the exercise of discretion if an applicant fails to file required tax returns or owes back taxes. Assuming no other negative factors, under what circumstances will USCIS deny an application for naturalization in an exercise of discretion for lack of good moral character where the applicant has filed all required taxes correctly, has a tax debt, has come to a formal agreement with the IRS or other tax authority to repay the taxes owed, and is paying off the debt?
USCIS instructs officers to accept proof that regular tax payments are being made. USCIS says that all N-400 cases involving an outstanding tax debt will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, looking at the totality of circumstances.
USCIS, measures success by how well USCIS reinforces the country’s proud tradition as a nation of hope and opportunity, uphold the integrity of the immigration system, and safeguard the nation’s security.
The accomplishments at USCIS would not be possible without exceptional workforce. The collective ingenuity, professionalism, and dedication of USCIS employees propel the agency to greater success year after year.
