Can U.S. citizenship be taken away? 🇺🇸

Yes, but only in very narrow circumstances. This process is called denaturalization, and it can happen if:

1️⃣ You submitted false information or documents to get your citizenship
2️⃣ You were affiliated with certain prohibited groups

If the government later discovers that you lied on your N-400 application, your citizenship can be revoked, even years after you took the oath.

The good news? Denaturalization is rare, and it affects very few people each year. However, the government now has a dedicated unit focused on investigating these cases, so honesty matters more than ever.

Our advice is simple: tell the truth on your N-400. If something in your history worries you, talk to a professional before you apply, not after.

Is your immigration case taking longer than normal? Your Congressman’s office can help, and it’s free. 🇺🇸

Go to house.gov, enter your ZIP code (add your full address if two reps show up), and click on your representative’s name. On their website, go to “Services” → “Help with a Federal Agency” to submit a casework request and privacy release form.

Filling out the privacy release? For petitions, the petitioner signs. For applications, the applicant signs. ✍️

This works for USCIS, the IRS, Social Security, the VA, passports, and more. Questions about your case? Call us at 713-532-0110. 📞

Applying for U.S. citizenship? Here’s a tip that can strengthen your N-400 application 🇺🇸

Attorneys now recommend submitting a Good Moral Character (GMC) reference letter with your naturalization application. In the past this was never required, but we’re recommending it to help show you meet the good moral character requirement.

Your letter can come from a friend, coworker, or family member, or you can submit letters from all of the above! Each letter should include:

✅ How long they have known you
✅ Their immigration status
✅ Whether they believe you are a person of good moral character
✅ Their contact information, in case USCIS needs to reach them

Once you have your letter, upload it to your portal and the officer will review it along with your N-400 application.

🚨 Two important USCIS updates you should know about 🚨

1️⃣ N-648 Medical Certification for Disability Exceptions
USCIS is closely reviewing N-648 forms, which are adjudicated locally. Some physicians have been placed on a watch list for submitting what USCIS considers “too many” of these forms, and the agency is looking into possible fraud. If you plan to request a disability exception for your citizenship test, make sure your N-648 is completed by a legitimate, qualified medical professional who truly knows your medical history.

2️⃣ Changes to Green Card Decisions
Green card applications now go through three officers before a final decision is made. One officer reviews the case and makes a decision, and then two more officers review it and make a decision as well. This may mean longer processing times, so it’s more important than ever to submit a complete, well-prepared application.

That means it’s now up to YOU to check that your I-94 record is correct. Your I-94 shows your date of entry, your class of admission, and how long you’re allowed to stay. A mistake on it can cause serious problems with your status, future applications, or travel.

✅ Check your I-94 after every entry
✅ Make sure your name, dates, and status are correct
✅ If something is wrong, get it corrected as soon as possible

Watch the full video for the details and look at our video: “How to Check and Correct Your I-94.” 📲

Thinking about applying for U.S. citizenship? Don’t let your taxes hold you back. 🇺🇸📑

When you apply to naturalize, USCIS reviews whether you’ve shown “good moral character,” and your tax history is part of that. Failing to file required tax returns, or owing back taxes, can count against you.

Not sure where you stand? Talk to us before you file your N-400.
