Is there such a thing as a probationary period after naturalization. I often here people saying that even if you become a citizen you could still have your citizenship revoke. The 3 reasons i know of are if you willingly give up your citizen status, if you refuse to testify in congress, and if you lie on your application or if you belong to any terrorist organization. But is there really a probationary period that you cant get convicted of a crime if you are you could be deported and have your citizenship revoke.

The probation happens before you become a citizen- that is the good moral character requirement.

 

The only way you can lose your citizenship involuntarily is if they discover your green card or naturalizing was based on fraud and denaturalize you. This seems to still be fairly rare. Even “ramping up” under Trump there were only a couple hundred cases over a few years. Compare to the numbers of naturalization (from a uscis doc in 2019, “Over the last decade, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) welcomed more than 8 million naturalized citizens into our great American family. In fiscal year 2019, we naturalized 843,593 people.”

  • For many years, the DOJ focused its efforts to strip immigrants of their citizenship on suspected war criminals who lied on their immigration paperwork, most notably former Nazis. And, USCIS and DOJ pursued cases as they arose, but not through a coordinated effort. ….
  • According to the New York Times, “denaturalizations have ramped up under the Trump administration: Of the 228 denaturalization cases that the department has filed since 2008, about 40 percent of them were filed since 2017, according to official department numbers.
