President. I learned of this hearing process from several of my constitutents. who told repeated tales of delayed. anguishing proceedings. One such constituent received her baby in December. 1981. She filed Application to File a Petition for Naturalization on Behalf of a Child (Form N402) in February. 1983. had a preliminary hearing on April 18. 1984. She is still waiting for the final hearing. In other words. her child has been in the United States for more than 4 years and is still not a citizen. Others have waited even longer. All describe the difficulties of commuting with their small children to distant locations.
