My N-400 application for naturalization was administratively closed on
June 30, 2000.  I received a letter from the USCIS (Charlotte, NC) to
that effect on March 9, 2006 (I was out of the US for about 5 years
from Jan. '01 to Aug. '05, and did not follow up on my case until Feb.
'06.  I therefore received a letter of an administrative closure in
Mar. '06). Now I want to re-open my N-400 case.  I cannot file a new
N-400 at this stage because I do not meet the physical presence test.

My questions are: Can I file a motion-to-reopen my N-400 case?  If I
can, where do I file it?  How long does it typically take to be
adjudicated?  Will the fact that it has been over 5 years since it has
been administratively closed have some bearing on the
motion-to-reopen?

Thank you in advance for your time.

The oath letter contains questions (I think about 10 of them) to which
you must answer 'NO' to all prior to naturalizing.  The questions
pertain to events which may have happened in your life since your last
interview.  Example:- marriage, birth(s) in your family,
arrests/warrants/indictments, traffic/parking tickets, international
travels, polygamy, etc, etc....
Any 'YES' answer necessitates further interviewing with one of the
supervisors before being allowed to naturalize.  So depending on what
"events" happened since your LAST INTERVIEW (not before), say, a paid
parking ticket hopefully won't bar you from naturilizing but a DWI
ticket will.
Remember that not everyone who received oath letters and show up
ultimately complete the ceremony.  Sorry, if this isn't the
information you were hoping to hear.  Goodluck!
