In recent months, I have litigated cases in Atlanta, Chicago, and Idaho. All three places are beautiful. I am glad my home is here in Central Florida. Immigration Law is Federal. I can represent clients in all federal courts in the United States.

Naturalization is the process through which a foreign citizen or national can become a US citizen. While the specifics may vary depending on how the LPR status was acquired, the general process involves meeting certain eligibility criteria, such as residency requirements, good moral character, and proficiency in the English language and/or knowledge of US history and government.

Typically, the process includes the following steps:

Eligibility Check: The applicant must verify that they meet the eligibility criteria for naturalization in the country where they wish to become a citizen. This may include factors such as length of residency, criminal history, and language proficiency.

Application Submission: The applicant submits an application for naturalization to the appropriate government agency - usually the USCIS. This involves filling out forms, providing documentation (such as birth certificates, passports, and proof of residency), and paying any required fees.

Background Check and Interview: The applicant undergoes a background check to verify their identity, criminal history, and other relevant information. They may also be required to attend an interview with immigration officials to assess their eligibility and sincerity in seeking citizenship. A background check that reveals a criminal history does not necessarily disqualify the applicant from citizenship but it does bring into question the requirement of good moral charachter if the criminal history was not disclosed in the application.

Citizenship Test: Applicants are required to pass a citizenship test that evaluates their knowledge of US history, government, and laws. This test is written and oral. There are exceptions based on age and mental or physical capacity. The requirement of knowing English is not just to pass the test but to actively take part in the citizenship interview.

Oath of Allegiance: If the applicant meets all requirements and is approved for naturalization, the applicant must take an oath of allegiance to the USA. This oath involves renouncing allegiance to any other countries and pledging loyalty to the USA. The applicant is not a US citizen until the oath has been taken.

Issuance of Citizenship Certificate: After taking the oath of allegiance, the applicant receives a certificate of citizenship as proof of their new status.

NATURALIZATION, CRIMINAL CHARGES and GOOD MORAL CHARACTER

When it comes to naturalization and having a criminal record, the regulations and outcomes can vary significantly depending on the the nature of the offense, when the offense took place, and the age of the offender. Here's a general overview:

Good Moral Character: The USA requires naturalization applicants to demonstrate good moral character as part of the eligibility criteria to become a United States citizen. This typically involves not having a serious criminal record, as well as demonstrating honesty, integrity, and respect for the law. Good Moral Character (GMC) can be assessed based on various factors, including criminal history, financial responsibility, and general behavior. A criminal record is not the only factor that is considered in determining GMC. Failure to pay taxes or child support are examples of circumstances that may result in a finding that you do not have the GMC to become a USC.

Impact of Criminal Record: A criminal record doesn't necessarily disqualify someone from naturalization, but it can complicate the process. The severity of the offense, how recently it occurred, and whether it involved moral turpitude (crimes involving dishonesty, fraud, or intent to harm others) are all factors that immigration authorities may consider.

Review Process: Immigration authorities typically review each naturalization application on a case-by-case basis, considering the individual's entire history and circumstances. There are general guidelines regarding which offenses may disqualify an applicant from naturalization, while others allow for more discretion in decision-making. As an example, there is a 5 year time period immediately prior to the filing of a naturalization application that is considered the GMC time period. However, the USCIS has discretion to go back more than 5 years when determining a persons GMC.

Mitigation and Rehabilitation: In some cases, individuals with a criminal record may be able to mitigate the impact by demonstrating rehabilitation or remorse. This could involve completing probation or parole, participating in rehabilitation programs, or providing evidence of positive contributions to society since the offense occurred.

Legal Assistance: Given the complexity of immigration law and the potential consequences of a criminal record on naturalization, it's often advisable for individuals with a criminal history to seek legal advice from an immigration attorney. An attorney can help assess the situation, provide guidance on how to present the case most effectively, and represent the individual's interests throughout the naturalization process.

Ultimately, whether someone with a criminal record or other circumstance that may indicate a lack of GMC, can successfully naturalize depends on various factors, including the specific laws and discretion granted the USCIS. A qualified and experienced attorney is important if your GMC is in question. Contact Mulder Law.

Good Morning Everyone,

Please take a look at my website: MulderLawOffice.com or JacksonvilleCitizenshipServices.com The site has been worked on lately and is looking good. After over 30 years Mulder Law is stronger than ever. I now limit my practice and I am selective in the cases I agree to handle. This gives me time to be more focused and provide individual attention. I prefer cases that are challenging. Unlike many immigration attorneys I do not seek out the simple cases that require no more than the completion of forms. I am very successful in my cases that involved the I-864 Affidavit of Support. The affidavit is a contract. The litigation requires a knowledge of contract law as well as immigration law. It is challenging and so far I have won every case I have taken on. As I become more well known in this area, attorneys have decised not to even pursue the litigation when they discover I represent the defendant.
