I've applied for the U.S citizenship and get denied due to my felony convictions, what should I do subsequent? assistance!?
i have 2 felony convictions(10yrs ago) I waited so long and hoped I might have a coincidence to apply for the U.S citizenship. But today i've just received the letter from them and got denied. I own wasted alot of money hiring immigration lawyers, but they're not helping at all, i want to know if anyone know any good lawyers(honest), or if there's any other ways, please help!
Answers:
I would give it more time i know someone that was granted citizenship inwardly 5 years of his conviction. It just depends who you get interviewed by if they find you have have good moral character and that your life looks similar to its been going good( job, Family, Edu.) they will grant it. simply give it more time! Dont give up.
Forget almost it. There's absolutely nothing that a lawyer can do for you so collect your money for the trip back to your country of origin. You committed crimes and that makes you ineligible for citizenship. Period. There is no appeal to ICE surrounded by this matter. It's not a matter of discretion, it's statutory.
I'm surprised you're not being deported.
I haven't been competent to find a law which clearly states what is and isn't acceptable, but the guide to nationalizations says these are bar to naturalization:
Criminal Record. Committing certain crimes may cause you to be ineligible for naturalization (USCIS calls these “bars” to naturalization).
You cannot establish that you are a entity of good moral character if you have be convicted of murder, at any time, or of any other aggravated felony, if you were convicted on or after November 29, 1990.
Two or more crimes for which the aggregate sentence was 5 years or more.
Violating any controlled substance law of the United States, any State, or any foreign country.
Confinement within jail, prison, or similar institution for which the total confinement was 180 days or more during the past 5 years (or 3 years if you are applying base on your marriage to a United States citizen).
Failing to complete any probation, parole, or suspended sentence before you apply for naturalization
I believe these can be waived by the Attorney General. In decoration there is an appeal process for this denial but I have no idea what it costs or how promising you would be to win.
If you were convicted of a State crime not a Federal one, you might investigate whether there is a provision in the state decree to have a conviction reversed set aside or expunged. Most states you can apply for a pardon and while that might sound unlikely, within some states it's not that hard to get one after a long time as a law abiding resident.
Tell me what state you are from, the best way is to apply for a PARDON from your Governor. If it is Federal then the US President, in any event the President can forfeit you a pardon. You have a right to appeal as the decision is not final and you could grasp around it. Contact me for more info.
With a PARDON you are a virgin again like the rest of us.
run home we don't want you! i don't get you people you commit crimes then boohoo when there's consequences!
Unless you can get a judicial pity for the offenses you can never become a US citizen. And such pardons for a felony let alone 2 are rare and filch a long time.
Didn't the lawyers tell you that a felony disqualified you from citizenship?
The solitary thing you can do is wait another 10 years and try again. The two convictions (felony) make you morally unfit at this time.
An immigration attorney can't relief you with this matter. You are lucky the felonies did not take you deported at the time.
You could try moving back to your own country and starting a go for yourself there, with the way things are going within the US right now it looks like a healthy move.
You tried, you fouled up and now you bring back to go home.
Honestly, I am not sorry:
America has adequate DOMESTIC felons starting with our president.
Lawyers cannot be beneficial in your situation due to your 2 Felonies. That does not satisfy the requirement of Moral Turpitude to become US Citizen.
A person also cannot be found to be a soul of good moral character if during the last five years he or she:
o have committed and been convicted of one or more crimes involving moral turpitude
ohas committed and been convicted of 2 or more offenses for which the total sentence imposed was 5 years or more
ohas committed and be convicted of any controlled substance law, except for a single offense of simple possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana
ohas been confined to a penal institution during the statutory extent, as a result of a conviction, for an aggregate period of 180 days or more
ohas committed and been convicted of two or more gambling offenses
ois or have earned his or her principal income from illegal gambling
ois or have been involved in prostitution or commercialized viceois or has be involved in smuggling illegal aliens into the United States
ois or has be a habitual drunkard
ois practicing or has practiced polygamy
ohas willfully failed or refuse to support dependents
ohas given false testimony, under oath, in direct to receive a benefit under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
An applicant must disclose all relevant facts to the Service, including his or her entire criminal history, regardless of whether the criminal history disqualifies the applicant under the enumerated provisions.
