In May 2015 I applied for Dominican citizenship by marriage on my own without an attorney.
The oral interview was completed in June of that same year and all necessary documents have been submitted and accepted.
The Ministerio de Interior y Policía has told me that they are awaiting the completion of the Interpol check and once that clears it'll be time to swear in.
One and a half months ago my wife separated from me saying she wanted a divorce, however since then I have not heard from her and I don't know where she is, although some friends said she's in Samaná.
My question is is how will this effect my citizenship petition?
Will this mean it's over despite being two and a half years into the process?
Can the status be changed from citizenship by marriage to regular naturalization by someone who has had permanent residency for more than two years without having to start over?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
