  • NEED HELP with N.400 (Application for Citizenship) Part 12. Question# 26

    Pertaining to N-400 (Application for Citizenship) Part 12, Question#26 it states:

    Have you EVER been placed in an alternative sentencing or a rehabilitative program (for example, diversion, deferred prosecution, withheld adjudication, deferred adjudication)?

    **Was sentenced to 10 years concurrent, because of good behavior, working in prison and studying while in prison, was given credit for time served and incarcerated from 1982 and released by the State in 1987; and unbeknownst immigration officers were outside waiting to pickup for an indefinite term and was finally released after an immigration panel determined was not a threat to society.

    How do I answer the above question, since there was no probation and no parole, was just released by immigration, which I'm also supposed to answer if paroled or probation in Question # 27, as well.

    alternative sentencing is when you are found guilty but not been put in prison. Instead you receive a house arrest, probation, fine, restitution etc.
    You have questions in multiple threads. Assuming this is for the same jail sentence, I would answer NO and then explain to the IO at interview. They will make the necessary corrections to the questions you are unsure of.
    Opinion only. Cannot be construed as legal advice.

        Sometimes there are questions that can't be answered with a YES or NO; so if this the case, at time of interview/examination, should I bring it up to the IO before leaving? Some people rather not bring it up if not asked. I would for my peace of mind.
