Rockledge, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Are you a U.S. citizen? Did your husband come with papers and overstay or did he come without papers? Does your husband have a criminal record? Has he left the country since becoming illegal? Has anyone filed papers for him before? I suggest you set up a paid consultation and we can review the facts and then advise on the timing, process, whether he will need to complete the case in or out of the U.S., will a waiver be needed, equities for the waiver, and of course the fees once we know what needs to be done to obtain his permanent residency.

Question 23 on part 12, page 14 of theN-400 naturalization application asks whether you have ever been arrested, cited, or detained by any law enforcement officer (including any immigration official or any official of the US Armed Forces) for any reason? That would seemingly include your traffic accident with alcohol. Although the naturalization officer may look at the offense again – if your immigrant file shows the fact that you received the immigrant visa despite your disclosure of the offense previously, that likely means that he or she will not look at it that closely in terms of inadmissibility as a crime or other ground of inadmissibility. More of a concern may be whether you have made a misrepresentation in your naturalization application which could lead to a finding of ineligibility for not having good moral character. Such may depend upon the officer’s perception of your forthrightness at the interview and whether the officer gave you a chance to correct your account, and whether you were forthright in doing so. If you continually denied that you had any incident with the law and the officer had to in effect drag it out of you, the officer may consider whether a misrepresentation was made.
