Do I have a case to apply for citizenship or should I seek an attorney?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
The convictions you mentioned do not sound like the very serious offenses that can legally bar eligibility for naturalization which is a review of the court documents, identifying the specific statutes and specifying the exact terms of the sentences would confirm this. Nonetheless, the USCIS's Atlanta Field Office has been harsh in assessing whether some offenses, by themselves or as a group, show a "lack of good moral character" that will allow it to deny a naturalization petition. This is true even if no single offense would legally bar naturalization. Last year, two naturalization petitioners hired our firm after the naturalization petitions they filed without an attorney were denied. Following naturalization interviews/examinations, the USCIS focused on multiple minor traffic offenses, none of which included even a single DWI, in denying the petitions for "lack of good moral character."

Do I need to be a US citizen to petition my wife?

It depends. Are you a permanent resident. The waiting period for visa availability for the spouse of a permanent resident is approximately 20 months. There is no waiting period for the spouse of a U.S. citizen.

I work with a person from veietnam. they have lived and worked here for years can they legelly take all there money back to there native counrtry ?

Answered by attorney David Troy Cox
Immigration lawyer at CoxEsq, PC
Each country has its own rules about how much cash you can bring into the country when you travel there.  I recommend you contact the Vietnamese embassy here in the United States to find out what their limitation is.  The limitation is probably low enough (i.e., $7000) that your friend could not carry everything he or she has earned over many years back to Vietnam as cash.
