Legal Question in Immigration Law in Illinois
Here is the sequence of my Citizenship application process.
- March 9, 2009 - Attended interview
- Attended Citizenship interview - 07/07/2009
- Passed the Interview but officer asked for W2 and IT docs.
- Misplaced the notice of action and sent only the W2
- After 8 months denial letter came from USCIS stating I did not fullfill the docs requirement.
- June 15, 2010 Filled N-336 Request for hearing with $605 and the additional docs.
- USCIS received the doc and got letter from them today saying I did not appear for hearing on 19th July, 2010 per USCIS Notice to appear.
- Actually I did not receive any Notice to appear from USCIS, and I was available pretty much here in town and checked with US POst office. They dont have any pending letter for me from Dept of homeland.
Question1: What is the next step?
Question2: What if I ignore this totally for 20 days and later apply for Citizenship again? Can I apply later say after couple of years, nothing wrong with my character or any, just like that.
In all it just mis-communication and nothing more.
Thanks,
Bala

What 'Notice to Appear' did they send? To Immigration Court? To USCIS office?
What the letter from USCIS says exactly (denial letter)?
