Can leaving the country affect a person’s petition to become a US citizen?

Answered by attorney William D. Fong (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Fong Ilagan
It depends on the nonimmigrant work visa that he is currently using. Some allow for "dual intent", that is the intent to immigrate to the US and still have a "nonimmigrant" visa. If he does not have a dual intent visa, and he is married to a permanent resident or if you have already petitioned for him, then he may have a problem in entry or with extending his NIV.

Will it be an issue for my boyfriend to return to the US after 10 years of deportation?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
In most instances, when a spouse of a U.S. Citizen has been ordered removed/deported for 10 years, at the end of that time he/she may apply for consular processing. The same is not true for a boyfriend of a U.S. Citizen or for a father of U.S. Citizen minor children. There is no substitute for engaging an immigration attorney to review all details about the removal/deportation order from 7 years ago as well as information about the person's immigration-relevant circumstances.

Can I apply for a citizenship if I have a DUI conviction?

Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
Depending on where your DUI took place, how many DUIs you have (I am assuming that you had two) and the date of your last conviction, the answer is usually yes. However, before you apply, you must be off of probation and not have any criminal convictions for at least 5 years preceding the date of application. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal law attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your case. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze you case and advise you of your options.
