Citizenship chances

[Shiobhan 235]

Can a LPR who is now a mgr in a big corpration, apply for citizenship without attracting an "order to show cause"

Individual arrive here via parents legally at 15 yrs was arrested during college yrs with joint, paid $25 bond, no

prison time never been locked up since; now owns a home ,both their kids just went off to college, but he refuses to

travel since the new rules after 911,he has since petitioned for a son he had outside the country during his travels

its was approved and the child lives with them & also is in college, Does he have a reason to fear travelling or applying

for citizenship

Hmm......Don't see a reason why he is so scared. And yes, he hs eligible to apply for citizenship as based on your post, he committed an offence a long time back. If he is an LPR and has lived in the US for 5 years, and his crime was committed more than 5 years ago, he should go ahead and apply.

Yes he can apply, but he needs to make sure to mention any arrests or criminal record he might have otherwise he will risk his citizenship petition being denied.

Good luck

Thank U both, exactly what I told him apply and tell them about the joint arrest

They are looking for the proof of good moral character. Everybody makes mistakes. If the person is presently in good standing with the society, then everything should be OK. Just mention the arrest in the application and write a personal statement describing what happened and how the experience made you a better person.

Of course, if this would have been a second or third arrest, the outlook would have been much more gloomy and a consultation with an attorney would be much advised.
