Affair before naturalization, but no divorce

[jessica111 0]

Hopefully someone can help. I became a US Citizen (based on 3yrs marriage) 6 months ago. I had an affair that ended 2 months before I applied for Citizenship. When the affair ended I came clean and told my husband. We worked it out and now things are good. We want to start having kids soon and we feel that our problems are FINALLY behind us. My husband was very forgiving because he was also unfaithful at one point. Recently, my ex that I had the affair with has been angry that it didn't work out. He has threatened to call ICE and tell them about the affair to "get me in trouble". I didn't disclose the affair during the interview because that question was never asked and at the time of the interview my husband and I had been back on for about 7 months, I hadn't seen the ex and I really didn't even think it was something that needed to be brought up. Do you think there's a possibility I could be denaturalized?

An affair has nothing to do with naturalization - this person is fear mongering you. Cut all contacts with him. Not sure why you didn't before.

There is absolutely nothing this person can do to your immigration process.

no, you're still married and it looks like you are working things out.

Cut all ties and warn him stay away. i will make a final phone to him, warn him and will make sure to record the whole conversation.

keep it short and straight. And if he dare act up, call the police and file a complaint. get a restriction from the police. Bottom line is, he can't do anything to you.

Recording phone calls can be illegal in some states.

Threats are a very bad idea because one can be charged by doing that to someone else.

Best option is change the email change the phone number do not respond to this person at all and cut them out of their life. It should have been done long ago when that relation was ended and the original marriage was being mended.

Sounds like a jilted lover, but he cannot affect your status with the US government just because he doesn't like how it ended.

You are working things out with your husband. Every marriage has its ups and downs. You and your husband are in a bona fide marriage so you have nothing to worry about.

As the previous posters have said, change your contact information and cut all ties with him.

No.

You can have had sex with 12 monkeys and that's not a reason to declare the naturalization void.

I tell you what would qualify as material misrepresentation for this purpose: if you had been separated from your husband at the time you filed for naturalization, meaning if you did not live together anymore and were about to file for divorce, and had followed through with this plan now. If you were naturalized now, and divorce based on this previous-to-naturalization separation, you'd be running a high risk of losing it all.

Affairs in USA are immoral not illegal and will have nothing to do with your naturalization.re If your hubby forgave you and did not cancel anything then you're ok. Change your contact information (which if it is over you should not want him to have any means to contact you) and ignore his threats. If it continues then call the police.. Congratulations on working it out with your husband. That takes a lot of work on both parts. Good luck!

Actually adultery is a criminal offense in nearly half the states. It is almost never prosecuted unless the aggreived spouse presses charges. Here is an article this week about an arizona woman who may go to jail for adultery. Additionally, the article says that in Michigan, adultery is classified as a felony. Here in Georgia max punishment is one year in jail and $1000 fine. Again, it is almost never prosecuted unless one half of the equation really gets pissed off.

It depends on which state you are in. Some states allow it if at least one of the parties involved know the conversation is being recorded.

The U.S. federal law allows recording of phone calls and other electronic communications with the consent of at least one party to the call. A majority of the states and territories have adopted wiretapping statutes based on the federal law, although most have also extended the law to cover in-person conversations. 38 states and the D.C. permit recording telephone conversations to which they are a party without informing the other parties that they are doing so.

12 states require, under most circumstances, the consent of all parties to a conversation. Those jurisdictions are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington.

You are a bonafide US Citizen. He cannot change that.

Be careful. The 13th monkey you have sex with is what's going to do you in.

The affair is irrelevant. Affairs happens in some marriages. That's life. It's not in itself proof that you entered your marriage for an immigration benefit.

As long as you did not make any material misrepresentation during the naturalization process, you are fine.

Do not record any phone calls. As another poster has pointed out, you could be violating the laws in your state. It's illegal to record a phone conversation in California without the other party's consent.

If he continues to harass you, you may want to get a restraining order.
