Legal Question in Immigration Law in Kentucky

On my N-400 application i had stated that i had never registered to vote, nor had i ever voted. I believed this to be true as i have no recollection of ever do so.

At the beginning of the interview the interviewing officer asked why i was registered to vote in my County. I told him i was unaware that i was. He conducted the interview and issued me with an N-14 and asked me to go to the County Clerks office to see what i could find.

The N-14 asks you to return to the interviewing officer a voter registration form, proof of removal from the voter register, and your voting record.

I went to the courthouse and they produced a voter registration form that i had signed in March 2006 at the DMV. It clearly states that it is for US Citizens only. I was shocked that i had been so stupid as to sign this, and also that i had no recall of doing it.

However, i got a copy of this, a copy of the form stating i was no longer on the voting register and a copy of my voting record that showed i have never voted.

I drafted a letter to the interviewing officer explaining all this and my regret at this huge mistake i had made.

Other than this i am a legal permanent resident from the UK married to a USC, been an LPR since 2003, have a 20 month old child and another on the way, always employed, always paid taxes, clean record, not even a parking ticket.

My question is this: Should i return the forms along with my letter of regret and hope for the best? I also have a sworn notarized statement saying i signed this form in error and with full regret.

Do i need to Lawyer up at this point? I realize that by signing the form i could be deported.

Or could i withdraw my application and reapply with all this information attached?
